Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A medical device obtains an oscillometric measurement associated with a patient's non-invasive blood pressure reading. The device determines a stability measure for at least one pair of pulses included in the oscillometric measurement, compares the stability measure to a threshold, and excludes the pair of pulses from an evaluation of heart beat variation when the stability measure fails to meet the threshold.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A physiological monitor device comprising: a central processing unit (CPU) that is configured to control operation of the device; at least one health care equipment module configured to measure one or more physiological parameters of a patient, the at least one health care equipment module including a non-invasive blood pressure module device configured to measure a blood pressure of the patient; and a set of one or more computer readable data storage me…
