Abstract

The monitor has a microwave transmitter which transmits and alarm signal in the case of an abnormal pulse rate, or the cessation of the heartbeat. The transmitted signal is used to actuate an alarm siren and may also cause an alarm telephone call to be made to the emergency services. The receiver, for activating the alarm siren etc., can be operated from a battery supply or from the mains and need not be miniaturised. The pulse rate monitor is pref. worn around the patients wrist, in the fashion of a watch, and the transmitter has a range of at least 10 metres, the receiver being located within this range and the patients freedom of movement limited to this range. The alarm siren may be incorporated within the receiver or can be connected to it by a transmission line etc.

Description

Gerät zur Überwachung der Zitalfunktion für den PrivatgebrauchDevice for monitoring the central function for private use

Beschreibung: Das stark miniaturisierte Grundgerät besteht aus einem Eulsfrequenzmesser mit angeschlossenem Mikro sender. Das Gerät hat so kleine Abmessungen, dass es belästigungsfrei getragen werden kann (z. Bo wie eine Armbanduhr), Bei Abnahme wird es automatisch ausser Betrieb gesetzt durch mit einem Ein-Aus-Schalter gekoppelten Verschluss.Description: The highly miniaturized basic device consists of one Pulse frequency meter with connected micro transmitter. The device has such small dimensions, that it can be worn nuisance-free (e.g. like a wristwatch), upon acceptance it is automatically put out of operation by coupled with an on-off switch Clasp.

Bei pathologischer Pulsfrequenz, die individuell eingestellt werden kann und bei Herzetillstand des Trägers strahlt der Sender ein Signal im UK'#-Bereich mit mindestens 10 Meter Reichweite aus. In dieser Entfernung befindet sich der Empfänger0 Das Empfangsgerät kann grösser dimensioniert sein und ist für Netz- und Batteriebetrieb vorgesehen, Es verfügt über eine eingebaute Alarmeinrichtung. Der Anschluss von Zus#atzgeräten an dem Empfänger ist vorzusehen. So zwecks Betätigung einer ausserhalb der Wohnung befindlichen Alarmsirene oder einer Vorrichtung zur automatischen telefonischen Alarmierung des Iiettungsdfenstes,At pathological pulse rate, which can be set individually and if the wearer has cardiac arrest, the transmitter emits a signal in the UK '# range with a range of at least 10 meters. Receiver0 is at this distance The receiving device can be larger and is for mains and battery operation provided, It has a built-in alarm device. The connection of Additional devices are to be provided on the receiver. So for the purpose of actuating an outside the apartment located alarm siren or a device for automatic telephone calls Alerting the service window,

Claims
