Abstract

Abstract A strip chart recorder and method for recording trend signals representative of a physiological condition on a strip chart responsive to the occurrence of an alarm condition. Trend signals representative of said physiological condition in the past are stored. Upon the occurrence of the alarm condition, the stored trend signals are recorded at a faster than real time rate.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 180 words
A strip chart recorder responsive to the occurrence of an alarm condition for recording first and second trend signals representative of a physiological condition on a strip chart comprising: recording means operable for recording the first trend signals on the strip chart at a faster than real time rate in response to a first rate signal and for recording the second trend signals on the strip chart at a real time rate in response to a second rate signal; storing means for storing said first trend signals representative of said physiological condition in the past; and controlling means operable for controlling the storing means so as to provide the stored first trend signals to the recording means in response to the occurrence of the alarm condition and for providing the first rate signal, the second rate signal and the second trend signals to the recorder; said second trend signals representative of the physiological condition at points in time subsequent to those represented by the first rate signal and being provided to the recorder after recordation of the first trend signals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 180 words
A strip chart recorder responsive to the occurrence of an alarm condition for recording first and second trend signals representative of a physiological condition on a strip chart comprising: recording means operable for recording the first trend signals on the strip chart at a faster than real time rate in response to a first rate signal and for recording the second trend signals on the strip chart at a real time rate in response to a second rate signal; storing means for storing said first trend signals representative of said physiological condition in the past; and controlling means operable for controlling the storing means so as to provide the stored first trend signals to the recording means in response to the occurrence of the alarm condition and for providing the first rate signal, the second rate signal and the second trend signals to the recorder; said second trend signals representative of the physiological condition at points in time subsequent to those represented by the first rate signal and being provided to the recorder after recordation of the first trend signals.
Claim 3
Independent Claim 98 words
A method of recording first and second trend signals representative of a physiological condition on a strip chart which is responsive to the occurrence of an alarm condition comprising the steps of: storing the first trend signals representative of said physiological condition in the past; responding to the occurrence of the alarm condition to record the stored first trend signals at a faster than real time rate; and thereafter recording at a real time rate the second trend signals representative of the physiological condition at points in time subsequent to those represented by the stored first trend signals.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 98 words
A method of recording first and second trend signals representative of a physiological condition on a strip chart which is responsive to the occurrence of an alarm condition comprising the steps of: storing the first trend signals representative of said physiological condition in the past; responding to the occurrence of the alarm condition to record the stored first trend signals at a faster than real time rate; and thereafter recording at a real time rate the second trend signals representative of the physiological condition at points in time subsequent to those represented by the stored first trend signals.
