TRANSDUCER HOLDER

FREMBRINGELSENS ANVENDELSESOMRÅDE Denne frembringelse angår en transducerholder, som kan placere en transducer på en patient eller i umiddelbar nærhed af patienten. Transducerholderen placeres på eller nær huden på patienten, i transducerholderen kan så indsættes en transducer, f.eks. til invasiv måling af blodtryk eller anden form for måling, hvor der er behov for at holde en transducer på plads.FIELD OF APPLICATION This invention relates to a transducer holder which can place a transducer on a patient or in the immediate vicinity of the patient. The transducer holder is placed on or near the skin of the patient, a transducer can then be inserted into the transducer holder, e.g. for invasive measurement of blood pressure or other form of measurement where there is a need to hold a transducer in place.

FREMBRINGELSENS BAGGRUND Under en operation er det vigtigt, at kunne monitorere for eksempel det invasive blodtryk så sikker og korrekt som muligt, for at kunne bevare vitale værdier så stabile som muligt, og at undgå risikoen for tryksår og seponering af måle udstyret. Er patienten på intensiv afdeling, hvor det invasive blodtryk observeres og analyseres jævnligt og patienten er immobiliseret i sengen, kan der opstå tryksår, træk og seponering af måleudstyret, der er fikseret på sengen. Når man udfører invasive blodtryksmålinger på en patient, påføres typisk et arterielt kateter på f.eks. patientens håndled. En transducer til måling af blodtryk forbindes derefter til kateteret for at måle patientens blodtryk. Ofte strækker blodtryksmålingen sig over flere dage, hvor patienten stadig er begrænset til en seng, hvor patienten skal omplaceres og drejes om på siden under bad og forskellige medicinske procedurer. Ved omplacering af patienten kan der opstå problemer med transduceren, da udstyret er følsomt og kan udsættes for belastning, tryk osv.BACKGROUND OF THE PRODUCTION During an operation, it is important to be able to monitor, for example, the invasive blood pressure as safely and correctly as possible, in order to maintain vital values as stable as possible, and to avoid the risk of pressure ulcers and discontinuation of measuring equipment. If the patient is in an intensive care unit, where the invasive blood pressure is observed and analyzed regularly and the patient is immobilized in the bed, pressure ulcers, drafts and discontinuation of the measuring equipment that is fixed on the bed may occur. When performing invasive blood pressure measurements on a patient, an arterial catheter of e.g. the patient's wrist. A blood pressure transducer is then connected to the catheter to measure the patient's blood pressure. Often, the blood pressure measurement extends over several days, with the patient still confined to a bed, where the patient has to be repositioned and turned on their side during bathing and various medical procedures. When relocating the patient, problems can occur with the transducer, as the equipment is sensitive and can be exposed to stress, pressure, etc.

Der findes transducerholdere i stof, som kan placeres på overarmen af en patient ved at lukke et velcrobånd. Men dette er ufleksibelt og kan ikke placeres præcist, hvor det er mest hensigtsmæssig at placere transduceren. Ligeledes findes der transducerholdere, hvori der kan placeres op til fire transducere på operations lejet eller intensiv sengen, men det er uhensigtsmæssigt, når patientenThere are transducer holders in fabric that can be placed on the upper arm of a patient by closing a velcro strap. However, this is inflexible and cannot be placed exactly where it is most appropriate to place the transducer. There are also transducer holders in which up to four transducers can be placed on the operating bed or intensive care unit, but it is inappropriate when the patient

DK 202100056 U3 2 fx er lejret til laparoskopisk operation, med begge arme ind langs siderne, eller i forbindelse med patientpleje eller mobilisering.DK 202100056 U3 2 eg is mounted for laparoscopic surgery, with both arms in along the sides, or in connection with patient care or mobilization.

Opfinderen til denne frembringelse er derfor af den opfattelse, at der er et behov for en transducerholder til en mere fleksibel og hensigtsmæssig placering og fastgørelse af transducere på eller i nærheden af en patient i en optimal position for målinger af blodtryk mm.The inventor of this invention is therefore of the opinion that there is a need for a transducer holder for a more flexible and convenient placement and attachment of transducers on or near a patient in an optimal position for measurements of blood pressure etc.

FREMBRINGELSENS FORMÅL Formålet med frembringelsen er at tilvejebringe en transducerholder, der kan placeres på eller nær en patient en enkel måde og holder en transducer på eller nær huden af en patient, et yderligere formål er at tilvejebringe en transducerholder, der er fleksibel, og som kan placere en transducer i en optimal position til måling af blodtryk eller anden form for måling, hvor der er behov for at holde en transducer på plads.OBJECT OF THE PRODUCTION The object of the invention is to provide a transducer holder which can be placed on or near a patient in a simple manner and holds a transducer on or near the skin of a patient, a further object is to provide a transducer holder which is flexible and which can place a transducer in an optimal position for measuring blood pressure or other type of measurement where there is a need to hold a transducer in place.

BESKRIVELSE AF FREMBRINGELSEN Det ovennævnte formål og flere andre formål med frembringelsen opfyldes ved i et første aspekt af frembringelsen at tilvejebringe en transducerholder til at fastholde en transducer på en patient, transduceren anvendes til måling af blodtryk eller andre målbare parametre, hvor der anvendes en transducer, transducerholderen har en hudside og en transducerside, transducerholderen kan placeres og fastgøres på patienten, således at hudsiden vender ind imod patienten og transducersiden vender væk fra patienten, transducersiden er indrettet således, at transducerholderen har to fremspringende skinner hvorimellem transduceren (40) kan placeres og fastholdes.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCTION The above object and several other objects of the invention are fulfilled by in a first aspect of the invention providing a transducer holder for holding a transducer on a patient, the transducer being used for measuring blood pressure or other measurable parameters using a transducer, the transducer holder has a skin side and a transducer side, the transducer holder can be placed and attached to the patient so that the skin side faces the patient and the transducer side faces away from the patient, the transducer side is arranged so that the transducer holder has two protruding rails between which the transducer (40) can be placed and held. .

Transducerholderen er et fladt engangselement, fremstillet af f.eks. en genanvendelig elastisk polymer også kaldet plastik. Transducerholderen har en hudside og en transducerside. Transducerholderen fastgøres til patienten på eller nær huden på en sådan måde, at hudsiden vender ind mod patienten, mens transducersiden vender væk fra patienten, således at der let kan anbringes og fastholdes en transducer i transducerholderen. Transducerholderen har toThe transducer holder is a flat disposable element, made of e.g. a recyclable elastic polymer also called plastic. The transducer holder has a skin side and a transducer side. The transducer holder is attached to the patient on or near the skin in such a way that the skin side faces the patient while the transducer side faces away from the patient so that a transducer can be easily placed and held in the transducer holder. The transducer holder has two

DK 202100056 U3 3 fremspringende skinner, som transduceren kan glides ned i mellem, således at skinnerne fastholder transduceren. Transducerholderen er let at placere og fastgøre på patienten, og den kan placeres hvor som helst på eller nær patientens hud, således at transducerholderen kan placeres der, hvor det er mest hensigtsmæssigt i forhold til ledninger og andet udstyr, der anvendes i forbindelse med målingen og er forbundet til transduceren. Ligeledes kan transducerholderen placeres, så den ikke er til ulempe under drejning eller anden omplaceringen af patienten i sengen. For eksempel hvis et arterielt kateter er påført på patientens håndled, vil det være hensigtsmæssig, at fastgøre transduceren på patientens venstre side af thorax under en operation og ved mobilisering på intensiv kunne den placeres på samme arm som arterie kateteret er placeret i.DK 202100056 U3 3 projecting rails, which the transducer can slide down between, so that the rails hold the transducer. The transducer holder is easy to place and attach to the patient, and it can be placed anywhere on or near the patient's skin so that the transducer holder can be placed where it is most convenient for wires and other equipment used in the measurement and is connected to the transducer. Likewise, the transducer holder can be positioned so that it is not at a disadvantage during rotation or other repositioning of the patient in bed. For example, if an arterial catheter is applied to the patient's wrist, it would be appropriate to attach the transducer to the patient's left side of the thorax during surgery and when in intensive care mobilization, it could be placed on the same arm in which the artery catheter is located.

Ihenhold til en udførelsesform for frembringelsen har transducerholderen et spiral knaphul til fastgørelse af transducerholderen på patienten ved snaplåsning til en knap, der er fastgjort på patientens hud.According to one embodiment of the invention, the transducer holder has a spiral buttonhole for attaching the transducer holder to the patient by snap locking to a button attached to the patient's skin.

Knappen kan fastgøres på patientens hud, ved at klistre den til huden f.eks. med et medicinsk klæbebånd, hvorpå knappen er fastsat. Det medicinske klæbebånd med knap kan være et standard klæbebånd, der bliver brugt i andre sammenhænge og er kommercielt tilgængelig. Det medicinske klæbebånd med knap fastgøres på huden, der hvor man ønsker at placere transducerholderen. Transducerholderen kan fastgøres til knappen, og har et spiral knaphul til en snaplåsning, så knaphullet kan presses ned over knappen på det medicinske klæbebånd og sættes fast ved hjælp af snaplåsningen, der griber fat i knappen. Knappen kan også fastgøre på andre måde med klister, f.eks. kan knappen limes til huden, eller limes eller på anden måde fastgøres på et plaster eller lignende, der sættes på huden.The button can be attached to the patient's skin, by gluing it to the skin e.g. with a medical adhesive tape on which the button is attached. The medical adhesive tape with button can be a standard adhesive tape that is used in other contexts and is commercially available. The medical adhesive tape with button is attached to the skin where you want to place the transducer holder. The transducer holder can be attached to the button, and has a spiral buttonhole for a snap lock, so that the buttonhole can be pressed down over the button on the medical adhesive tape and fastened by means of the snap lock that grips the button. The button can also be attached in other ways with glue, e.g. the button can be glued to the skin, or glued or otherwise attached to a patch or the like that is put on the skin.

I henhold til en udførelsesform for frembringelsen har transducerholderen fleksible snapfingre med fjedrevirkning placeret omkring spiral knaphullet til snaplåsning med knappen.According to one embodiment of the invention, the transducer holder has flexible spring-loaded snap fingers located around the spiral buttonhole for snap-locking with the button.

DK 202100056 U3 4 Snaplåsen er udformet med snapfingre, der er udskåret i transducerholderen, snapfingrene er aflange fingrelignende udskæringer, der er fleksible, således at de giver sig, når de presses ned over knappen. Snapfingrene sidder i en rundkreds i en spiralagtig form, således at spidserne af snapfingrene danner spiral knaphullet, som knappen kan presses igennem til snaplåsen. Der vil typisk være en fremspringende kant øverst på knappen, således at når snapfingrene er presset ned over kanten, vil fjedervirkningen få snapfingrene til at vippe ind under kanten og låse eller fastgøre transducerholderen på knappen.DK 202100056 U3 4 The snap lock is designed with snap fingers cut out of the transducer holder, the snap fingers are elongated finger-like cutouts that are flexible so that they give way when pressed down over the button. The snap fingers sit in a circle in a spiral-like shape so that the tips of the snap fingers form the spiral buttonhole through which the button can be pressed to the snap lock. There will typically be a protruding edge at the top of the button so that when the snap fingers are pressed down over the edge, the spring action will cause the snap fingers to tilt under the edge and lock or secure the transducer holder on the button.

Når transducer holderen senere fjernes fra knappen, vil presset, når der hives i transducerholderen, få snapfingrene til at bevæge sig ud efter, således at transducerholderen kan trækkes fri af knappen igen.When the transducer holder is later removed from the button, the pressure when pulled into the transducer holder will cause the snap fingers to move outward so that the transducer holder can be pulled free of the button again.

I henhold til en udførelsesform for frembringelsen har hudsiden af transducerholderen et klæbemiddel påført, således at transducerholderen kan klæbes til patientens hud og derved fastgøres på patienten.According to one embodiment of the invention, the skin side of the transducer holder has an adhesive applied so that the transducer holder can be adhered to the patient's skin and thereby attached to the patient.

Et alternativ udførelsesform er at lime transducerholderen til patientens hud. I denne udførelsesform kan transducerholdrenes hudside være forsynet med et klæbemiddel til påføring på en patients hud. Klæbemidlet kan være forud påført transducerholderens hudside, og kan evt. være dækket af et papirstykke eller plastikstykke, der fjernes inden transducerholderen klæbes til patientens hud. Alternativet kan klæbemiddel påføres transducerholdrens hudside umiddelbart før den klæbes til patientens hud.An alternative embodiment is to glue the transducer holder to the patient's skin. In this embodiment, the skin side of the transducer holders may be provided with an adhesive for application to a patient's skin. The adhesive may be pre-applied to the skin side of the transducer holder, and may be covered by a piece of paper or plastic that is removed before the transducer holder adheres to the patient's skin. Alternatively, adhesive may be applied to the skin side of the transducer holder immediately before it is adhered to the patient's skin.

I henhold til en udførelsesform for frembringelsen er de to fremspringende skinner på transducersiden udformet således at transduceren kan glides ind i skinnerne. De to fremspringende skinner er konfigureret til at transduceren kan glides eller skubbes ind imellem skinnerne, således at skinnerne holder transduceren i transducerholderen.According to one embodiment of the invention, the two protruding rails on the transducer side are designed so that the transducer can slide into the rails. The two protruding rails are configured so that the transducer can slide or slide in between the rails so that the rails hold the transducer in the transducer holder.

I henhold til en udførelsesform for frembringelsen har de to fremspringende skinner ydre kanter, der, når transduceren er placeret imellem de fremspringende skinner, går ind over transduceren og forhindrer at transduceren kan falde ud.According to one embodiment of the invention, the two protruding rails have outer edges which, when the transducer is placed between the protruding rails, enter over the transducer and prevent the transducer from falling out.

DK 202100056 U3 De fremspringende skinner er udformet således, at de har kanter, der går ind over transduceren, når den skubbes ind mellem skinnerne. Transduceren er så udført således, at den har to flade sidestykker, der er beregnet til at glide ind imellem 5 skinnerne, således at skinnernes ydre kanter går ind over de flade sidestykker på transduceren og fastholder transduceren i transducerholderen. De flade sidestykker på transduceren er udformet, så de passer ind i skinnerne på transducerholderen.DK 202100056 U3 The protruding rails are designed so that they have edges that go over the transducer when it is pushed in between the rails. The transducer is so designed that it has two flat side pieces which are intended to slide in between the rails, so that the outer edges of the rails go over the flat side pieces of the transducer and hold the transducer in the transducer holder. The flat side pieces of the transducer are designed to fit into the rails of the transducer holder.

Ihenhold til en udførelsesform for frembringelsen har transducerholderen et eller flere endestop placeret ved den nedre ende af transducerholderen, således at transduceren ikke kan glide ud af skinnerne men stoppes af endestoppene.According to one embodiment of the invention, the transducer holder has one or more end stops located at the lower end of the transducer holder so that the transducer cannot slide out of the rails but is stopped by the end stops.

De fremspringende skinner er yderligere konfigureret med en stop i den nedre ende, hvilket giver et endestop for transduceren, hvilket forhindrer transduceren i at glide hele vejen gennem skinnerne.The protruding rails are further configured with a stop at the lower end, which provides an end stop for the transducer, which prevents the transducer from sliding all the way through the rails.

Transducerholderen har en øvre ende, hvor der er en åben passage ind imellem skinnerne så transduceren kan glide ind i skinnerne fra den øvre ende gennem den åbne passage. Endestoppene er så placeret i den nedre ende af transducerholderen, således at transduceren ikke kan glide forbi endestoppene og dermed holdes i transducerholderen.The transducer holder has an upper end where there is an open passage in between the rails so that the transducer can slide into the rails from the upper end through the open passage. The end stops are then located in the lower end of the transducer holder so that the transducer cannot slide past the end stops and thus be held in the transducer holder.

Den øvre ende af transducerholderen skal så vende opad, når transducerholderen anvendes, således at transduceren ikke kan glide ud af transducerholderen under påvirkning af gravitation. Ligeledes skal den nedre ende af transducerholderen vende nedad, når transducerholderen anvendes, således at endestoppene forhindre transduceren i at glide ud af holderen.The upper end of the transducer holder must then face upwards when the transducer holder is used, so that the transducer cannot slide out of the transducer holder under the influence of gravity. Likewise, the lower end of the transducer holder must face downward when the transducer holder is used, so that the end stops prevent the transducer from sliding out of the holder.

Risikoen ved at transduceren kan glide ud af transducerholderen kan dog elimineres eller reduceres ved at transducerholderen er udformet således, at den klemmer fast om transduceren, f.eks. ved at transduceren sidder i spæn imellem skinnerne i transducerholderen. Dette er en fordel hvis patienten ligger ned, og transducerholderen befinder sig i en sort set vandret position.However, the risk of the transducer slipping out of the transducer holder can be eliminated or reduced by the transducer holder being designed to clamp around the transducer, e.g. by the transducer being clamped between the rails in the transducer holder. This is an advantage if the patient is lying down and the transducer holder is in a black horizontal position.

DK 202100056 U3 6 I henhold til en udførelsesform for frembringelsen er overfladen på transducersiden af transducerholderen let buet, så der tilvejebringes en let låsbar spænding mellem transducerholderen og den flade overfalde af transduceren, når transduceren glides ind imellem de fremspringende skinner, den let låsbare spænding fastholder transduceren i transducerholderen. Transducerholderens overflade kan være konstrueret således, at overfladen er let buet for at tilvejebringe en let låsbar spænding mellem transducerholderen og den flade overflade af transduceren, når transduceren glides ind i skinnerne.According to an embodiment of the invention, the surface on the transducer side of the transducer holder is slightly curved, so that an easily lockable voltage is provided between the transducer holder and the flat surface of the transducer when the transducer slides in between the protruding rails, the easily lockable voltage the transducer in the transducer holder. The surface of the transducer holder may be designed so that the surface is slightly curved to provide an easily lockable tension between the transducer holder and the flat surface of the transducer as the transducer slides into the rails.

Den flade overflade af transduceren er den side af transduceren, der vender ind mod patienten, som også kan kaldes undersiden af transduceren. Desuden har transduceren nogle sidestykker, der er beregnet til at glide ind i skinnerne på transducerholderen, disse sidestykker er også flade på oversiden, der vender væk fra patienten. Ved at lave transducerholderen i en let buet form, så vil der være en naturlig spænding mellem transduceren og skinnerne i transducerholderen, der holder transduceren i transducerholderen ved at kanterne af transduceren vil presse imod den ene side af skinnerne, typisk den side, der udgøres af de ydre kanter, mens midterparten af transducerens underside vil presse imod den anden side af skinnerne. I henhold til en udførelsesform for frembringelsen er transducerholderen lavet af en elastisk polymer. Transducerholderen udføres i en elastik polymer, også kaldet plastik, som gør at transducerholderne er fleksible og bøjelige. Dette gør at snapfingrene omkring spiral knaphullet til snaplasningen er fleksible og har en fjedrevirkning, der låser omkring knappen, der er klistret til huden. At transducerholderen er fleksibel og bøjelig gør også, at skinnerne i en mulig udførselsform kan klemme omkring transduceren. Desuden er en transducerholder af elastisk polymer også mere hygiejnisk end f.eks. transducerholdere lavet af stof.The flat surface of the transducer is the side of the transducer facing the patient, which may also be called the underside of the transducer. In addition, the transducer has some side pieces that are intended to slide into the rails of the transducer holder, these side pieces are also flat on the top side facing away from the patient. By making the transducer holder in a slightly curved shape, there will be a natural tension between the transducer and the rails in the transducer holder holding the transducer in the transducer holder by the edges of the transducer pressing against one side of the rails, typically the side formed by the outer edges, while the middle part of the underside of the transducer will press against the other side of the rails. According to one embodiment of the invention, the transducer holder is made of an elastic polymer. The transducer holder is made of an elastic polymer, also called plastic, which makes the transducer holders flexible and pliable. This makes the snap fingers around the spiral buttonhole for snap placement flexible and has a spring action that locks around the button that is glued to the skin. The fact that the transducer holder is flexible and flexible also means that the rails in a possible embodiment can clamp around the transducer. In addition, a transducer holder of elastic polymer is also more hygienic than e.g. transducer holders made of fabric.

DK 202100056 U3 7 Ved at påføre transducerholderen på huden ved direkte vedhæftning med et klæbemiddel eller ved sammenkobling med knap, der er klistret til huden, og skubbe transduceren ind imellem skinnerne på transducerholderen, tilvejebringer frembringelsen en enkel, præcis og fleksibel fiksering til medicinsk udstyr, såsom en invasiv blodtrykstransducer eller en anden form transducer, der skal holdes på plads.DK 202100056 U3 7 By applying the transducer holder to the skin by direct adhesion with an adhesive or by coupling with a button glued to the skin and pushing the transducer in between the rails on the transducer holder, the creation provides a simple, precise and flexible fixation for medical devices, such as an invasive blood pressure transducer or other form of transducer to be held in place.

Transducerholderen har et spiral knaphul 10 til at knappe transducerholderen fast i en snaplåsning til en knap (ikke vist), der er klistret til huden af patienten, f.eks. med et medicinsk klæbebånd. I transducerholderen 1 er der nogle udskæringer, der danner nogle snapfingre 11. På figuren er vist otte snapfingre udskåret i transducerholderen. Snapfingrene 10 sidder i en rundkreds og spidsen af snapfingrene vender ind mod midten af transducerholdren og danner spiral knaphullet 10 og gør at knaphulletDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES FIG. 1 shows the transducer holder 1 seen from the skin side 2. The transducer holder has a spiral buttonhole 10 for buttoning the transducer holder in a snap lock to a button (not shown) which is glued to the skin of the patient, e.g. with a medical adhesive tape. In the transducer holder 1 there are some cut-outs which form some snap fingers 11. The figure shows eight snap fingers cut out in the transducer holder. The snap fingers 10 sit in a circle and the tip of the snap fingers faces toward the center of the transducer holder and forms the spiral buttonhole 10 and causes the buttonhole

DK 202100056 U3 8 til snaplåsning er fleksibel, således at nar transducerholderen knappes fast på knappen, der er klistret til huden, giver snapfingrene lidt efter, så spiral knaphullet 10 kan føres ind over knappen, og derefter vil en fjedervirkning i snapfingrene 11 gøre snapfingrene klemmer rundt om knappen, sådan at spiral knaphullet 10 presses rundt om knappen og transducerholderen sidder fast på knappen. Hjørner og kanter på transducerholderen er afrundede, således at patientens hud ikke beskadiges af skarpe hjørner og kanter. Fig. 2 viser transducerholderen 1 set fra transducersiden 3. Her er vist skinnerne 20 med de ydre kanter 21, der holder transduceren (ikke vist) på plads, når den er placeret i transducerholderen. De ydre kanter 21 er på figuren opdelt i tre dele, men kan også være en sammenhængende del, eller opdelt i flere dele. Det afgørende er, at kanterne er udformet således, at de går ind over transduceren, når transduceren sidder i transducerholderen og fastholder transduceren i transducerholderen. Ved skinnerne er der ved den nedre ende 24 af transducerholderen 1 vist et endestop 22, der forhindrer transduceren (ikke vist) i at glide ud at holderen, når den er indsat i holderen. På fig. 2 kan også ses spiral knaphullet 10 til snaplåsning og snapfingrene 11. Når transducerholderen 1 er fastgjort på en patient vender den øvre ende 23 af transducerholderen op, og den nedre ende 24 af transducerholderen vender nedad. Pile på transducerholderen viser den retning transduceren glides ned i transducerholderen. Transduceren, som ikke er vist på fig. 2 men kan ses på fig. 6 og 7, har to flade sidestykker 41, der kan glide ned igennem skinnerne, transduceren indføres fra den øvre ende 23 af transducerholderen og de flade sidestykker af transduceren glider så ned igennem skinnerne, så kanterne 21 går ind over transducerens sidestykker, som, når den er helt indført i transducerholderen, stoppes af endestoppene 22, som nederste kant af transduceren støder imod. Fig. 3 og fig. 4 viser transducerholderen fastgjort på armen af en patient.DK 202100056 U3 8 for snap locking is flexible, so that when the transducer holder is buttoned on the button that is glued to the skin, the snap fingers give way a little so that the spiral button hole 10 can be inserted over the button, and then a spring action in the snap fingers 11 makes the snap fingers pinch around the button so that the spiral buttonhole 10 is pressed around the button and the transducer holder is attached to the button. Corners and edges of the transducer holder are rounded so that the patient's skin is not damaged by sharp corners and edges. FIG. 2 shows the transducer holder 1 seen from the transducer side 3. Shown here are the rails 20 with the outer edges 21 which hold the transducer (not shown) in place when it is placed in the transducer holder. The outer edges 21 are in the figure divided into three parts, but can also be a continuous part, or divided into several parts. The crucial thing is that the edges are designed so that they go over the transducer when the transducer is in the transducer holder and holds the transducer in the transducer holder. At the rails, an end stop 22 is shown at the lower end 24 of the transducer holder 1, which prevents the transducer (not shown) from sliding out of the holder when it is inserted into the holder. In fig. 2, the spiral buttonhole 10 for snap locking and the snap fingers 11 can also be seen. When the transducer holder 1 is attached to a patient, the upper end 23 of the transducer holder faces upwards and the lower end 24 of the transducer holder faces downwards. Arrows on the transducer holder indicate the direction in which the transducer slides down the transducer holder. The transducer, not shown in FIG. 2 but can be seen in fig. 6 and 7, have two flat side pieces 41 which can slide down through the rails, the transducer is inserted from the upper end 23 of the transducer holder and the flat side pieces of the transducer then slide down through the rails so that the edges 21 go over the side pieces of the transducer which it is fully inserted into the transducer holder, stopped by the end stops 22 against which the lower edge of the transducer abuts. FIG. 3 and fig. 4 shows the transducer holder attached to the arm of a patient.

Transducerholderen 1 er her fastgjort på en medicinsk klæbebånd 30, sat fast på en knap 31, der sidder på det medicinske klæbebånd. Det kan ses at snapfingrene 11 klemmer sammen om knappen 31. Den yderste ende 32 af knappen har en kant, der går ud over spidsen af snapfingrene, og dermed gør at transducerholderen sidder fast på knappen og ikke kan glide af.The transducer holder 1 is here attached to a medical adhesive tape 30, attached to a button 31 which sits on the medical adhesive tape. It can be seen that the snap fingers 11 squeeze around the button 31. The outer end 32 of the button has an edge that extends beyond the tip of the snap fingers, thus causing the transducer holder to be stuck on the button and not be able to slide off.

DK 202100056 U3 9 For at afmontere transducerholderen fra knappen kræves et vist pres, der udøves når der trækkes i transducerholderen for at transducerholderen kan frigøres fra knappen ved at snapfingrene giver sig.GB 202100056 U3 9 To remove the transducer holder from the button, a certain amount of pressure is required when pulling on the transducer holder so that the transducer holder can be released from the button by the snap fingers giving way.

Det er muligt at dreje transducerholderen omkring knappen, således at vinklen hvori transduceren sidder kan ændres, hvis det er mere hensigtsmæssig, i forhold til hvor ledninger mm. der forbindes til transduceren sidder.It is possible to rotate the transducer holder around the knob so that the angle at which the transducer sits can be changed, if it is more appropriate, in relation to where wires etc. connected to the transducer seat.

Fig. 5 og Fig. 6 viser transduceren 40 placeret i transducerholderen 1, som er fastgjort på patientens arm på et medicinsk klæbebånd 30 med en knap. Her er transduceren 40 sat fast i transducerholderen 1, og der er tilført ledninger med væske/blod der er forbundet til transduceren. Det kan ses at kanterne 21 på transducerholderen går ind over flade sidestykker 41 af transduceren 40 og fastholder transduceren 40 i transducerholderen 1.FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 shows the transducer 40 located in the transducer holder 1, which is attached to the patient's arm on a medical adhesive tape 30 with a button. Here, the transducer 40 is fixed in the transducer holder 1, and wires with fluid / blood connected to the transducer are supplied. It can be seen that the edges 21 of the transducer holder extend over flat side pieces 41 of the transducer 40 and hold the transducer 40 in the transducer holder 1.

Fig. 7 viser billeder af transducerholderen 1 set fra forskellige vinkler. De to nederste transducerholdere er vist fra hudsiden, den side der vender ind mod patienten. De to øverste transducerholdere er vist fra transducersiden, altså den side hvorpå transduceren sættes ind i transducerholderen, Selvom den foreliggende frembringelse er blevet beskrevet i forbindelse med de specificerede udførelsesformer, skal den ikke opfattes som værende på nogen måde begrænset til de præsenterede eksempler. Omfanget af den foreliggende frembringelse er beskrevet af det ledsagende kravsæt.FIG. 7 shows images of the transducer holder 1 seen from different angles. The two lower transducer holders are shown from the skin side, the side facing the patient. The two upper transducer holders are shown from the transducer side, i.e. the side on which the transducer is inserted into the transducer holder. Although the present invention has been described in connection with the specified embodiments, it should not be construed as being in any way limited to the examples presented. The scope of the present invention is described by the accompanying claims.
