Abstract

The condition of an expectant mother and child are continuously monitored by a capsule (1) worn on the mother's abdomen before and during birth. The outputs of sensors (2) for heart sounds, etc., are transmitted over a radio link. To keep the capsule small and thin, the Tx is divided into functional modules which plug into the capsule circuit board and utilise all available space. This arrangement also makes adjustments on the modules easily accessible. The module comprise sockets (3,4) commercial pocket-radio battery (5), pre- and matching-amplifiers (6 to 12,23,24) modulator (13), voltage stabiliser (14), RF circuits (15) and antenna (16).

Description

rXl=ßlmormer für die Geburtshilfe rXl = ßlmormer for obstetrics

Die Erindng betrifft eine leS.gebereinheit zur kontinuierlichen Überwachung von Mutter und Kind vor und während der Geburt. Sie besteht aus einer auf den Unterleib der Mutter anbringbaren Kapsel, die Meßgeber enthält, die Meßdaten über den Zustand des Kindes liefern. Ferner enthält diese Kapsel Mittel zur drahtlosen Übertragung dieser Meßdaten. Eine bekannte Meßgebereinheit ist so aufgebaut, daß die Kapsel Meßgeber für mehrere der nachstehenden Meßgrößen beinhaltet: kindliches und mütterliches EKG, kindlichen Herzschall, Wehen, mütterliche Atmung, mütterliche Hauttemperatur etc. Ein als geschlossene Baueinheit ausgewiesener Sender ist ebenfalls in diese Kapsel eingebaut.The invention relates to a read transmitter unit for continuous monitoring of mother and child before and during childbirth. It consists of one on the abdomen the mother-attachable capsule containing the transducer, the measurement data on the condition deliver the child. This capsule also contains means for wireless transmission this measurement data. A known transducer unit is constructed so that the capsule Transducers for several of the following measures include: infantile and maternal EKG, child's heart rate, labor, maternal breathing, maternal skin temperature etc. A transmitter identified as a closed structural unit is also included in this Built-in capsule.

-Nachteilig bei dieser Anordnung ist die Tatsache, daß wegen der kompakten Bauart des Senders eine optimale Anpassung der Kapsel an die anatomischen Verhältnisse des mütterlichen Unterleibes verhindert wird, weil der Sender entweder über oder neben den Meßgebern angeordnet werden muß und nach dem heutigen Stand der Technik solche miniaturisierten kompakten Sender das Bauvolumen einer Zigarettenschachtel besitzen. Dabei bringt die nebeneinanderliegende Anordnung eine zu große Auflagefläche der Kapsel und die übereinanderliegende Anordnung einen ungünstigen Schwerpunkt der Kapsel, was sich besonders dann nachteilig auswirkt, wenn die Mutter die Meßgebereinheit im aufrechten Gang trägt.-Disadvantage of this arrangement is the fact that because of the compact Design of the transmitter an optimal adaptation of the capsule to the anatomical conditions the maternal abdomen is prevented because the transmitter is either over or must be arranged next to the sensors and according to the current state of the art such miniaturized compact transmitters take up the overall volume of a cigarette packet own. The juxtaposed arrangement results in too large a contact surface the capsule and the superimposed arrangement create an unfavorable center of gravity the capsule, what is special then has an adverse effect if the Mother carries the transducer unit in an upright position.

Die Erfindung vermeidet diese Nachteile. Sie ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die zu dem Sender gehörenden elektronischen Bauelemente in sinnvoller Weise in Baugruppen zusammengefaßt und möglichst volumenfüllend in steckbarer Ausführung in der Kapsel untergebracht sind, wobei die einzelnen Steckmodule von außen zugängliche Abgleichmöglichkeiten besitzen.The invention avoids these disadvantages. It is characterized by that the electronic components belonging to the transmitter in a meaningful way Combined in assemblies and as large as possible in a pluggable design are housed in the capsule, with the individual plug-in modules accessible from the outside Have matching options.

Die Erfindung vird nachstehend an einem Ausführungsbeispiel unter Bezugnahme auf die zugehörige Zeichnung (Fig. 1) näher erläutert, die eine Draufsicht auf eine nach der Erfindung aufgebaute Meßgebereinheit zeigt. Die Bauhöhe ist hier durch die Größe der Schmalseite einer handelsüblichen Taschenradiobatterie gegeben.The invention is based on an exemplary embodiment below With reference to the accompanying drawing (Fig. 1) explained in more detail, which is a plan view shows a transducer unit constructed according to the invention. The overall height is here given by the size of the narrow side of a standard pocket radio battery.

Die Anordung 1 berücksichtigt den Platzbedarf im Inneren der Kapsel für Meßamformer durch das Feld 2, für Steckverbinder die Felder 3 und 4 und für die Batterie das Feld 5.The arrangement 1 takes into account the space required inside the capsule for transducers through field 2, for connectors fields 3 and 4 and for the battery field 5.

dieser Sender ist in folgende Module aufgeteilt: Vor- und Anpassungsverstärker Ç ,9,1û,1 und 12, 1bdu3ator 13> Baiteriespannungsstabilisierung14, Hochfrequenzteil 15 und Antenne 16.this transmitter is divided into the following modules: pre-amplifier and matching amplifier Ç, 9,1û, 1 and 12, 1bdu3ator 13> Baiteries voltage stabilization14, high frequency part 15 and antenna 16.

Fig. Ih zeigt schematisch die usführungsform eines Steckmoduls. An dessen Unterseite befinden sich die Stecker 17 und darüber die Haube 18 mit den Durchbrüchen 19 und 20, durch die die Einstellorgane 21 und 22 betätigt werden können. Fig. Ih shows schematically the embodiment of a plug-in module. On its underside are the plugs 17 and above that the hood 18 with the openings 19 and 20 through which the adjusting members 21 and 22 can be operated.
