Description:

Holding arm for Art. Pressure recordings, tap banks and level-dependent drainage systems.

State of the art

The current holding devices for pressure transducers, CVP measurements, valve banks and level-dependent drainage systems are placed individually on the patient bed using clamps on infusion stands or other rigid accessories. A corresponding fixing device (clamp plate) must be used for each individual measuring device.

Furthermore, when the height of the patient bed is adjusted, these level-dependent systems, which must always remain at the same level in order to display an accurate measurement value, are always out of function or they display incorrect measurements. Furthermore, a number of holding devices are always needed on the patient bed, which is detrimental to the space available on the patient bed.

Task

Reduction of the space required for such measuring systems by
a single holder in which all components are housed.

-Further space saving by eliminating the need for a
Infusion stand in direct proximity to the bed.

- No need to readjust the pressure sensors when adjusting the height
of the patient bed and therefore no false display values.

- Facilitating care and diagnostics through increased flexibility of the required measuring systems in direct proximity to the patient.

Advantages

A single holding device for all mentioned measuring and
Drainage systems.

No unnecessary waste of space at the patient bed due to
bulky infusion stands, which I used as a fixation device
for three clamping plates for pressure measurement.
No need to readjust the level of pressure measurement or drainage systems once they have been set when the height of the patient bed is adjusted, e.g. for diagnostics or X-rays.
Facilitating care through a high degree of flexibility, as it can be easily folded away or pushed to the side
required space can be created quickly and easily.

Easier level adjustment than with current level-dependent measuring systems, as it is sufficient to slightly raise or lower the head section.

Further development of the invention

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in claims 2 to 7.

The further development according to claim 2 enables greater stability and thus the possibility of placing more than four level-dependent measuring and drainage systems on the head part of the holding arm.

The further development according to claim 3 enables weight and cost savings, which, however, is accompanied by losses in stability.

The further development according to claim 4 enables an even more compact accommodation of more than four measuring and processing systems and thus further space savings in other areas at the patient bed.

The further development according to claim 5 enables the exchange of the clamp base for other screw-on mounting bases on the patient bed.

The further development according to claim 6 enables the base material to be replaced by other more stable or less expensive materials.

Further development according to claim 7 enables further inclusion of drain or pressure measuring systems.

Description of the invention

An embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to Figure 1.
