Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cables that transmit electrical power and patient physiological data for use in patient monitoring, and specifically to connectors for connecting such patient monitoring cables.
  • Patient monitoring has evolved from requiring a separate patient monitoring device for every monitoring application, to having a centralized patient monitor to which multiple different, smaller patient data recording devices can be attached.
  • the smaller patient data recording devices may be connected to the patient monitor via cables that transmit physiological data from sensors on the patient to the monitoring device.
  • the patient data recording devices may house some electronics, such as signal processing electronics, as well as patient isolation circuitry. For example, these electronics may be housed in a small unit on a patient monitoring cable.
  • the cables may also transmit power from the patient monitor to electronics in the patient data recording device and/or to the sensors on the patient.
  • the cables may be universal serial bus (USB)-compliant cables having one of many types of USB-compliant connectors on either end.
  • USB universal serial bus
  • EP 2314215 describes an ECG lead system for use with a plurality of unique diverse ECG floor monitors.
  • the ECG lead system includes a plurality of unique adapters, wherein each adapter includes an input receptacle configured for selective electrical connection with a device connector of an ECG lead set assembly.
  • the ECG lead system may also comprise an ECG lead extension assembly comprising an ECG lead set assembly connector.
  • a latching system for the device connector and the ECG lead set assembly connector may also be provided.
  • the latching system may comprise a pin configured and adapted to extend at least partially into and between the device connector and the ECG lead set assembly connector, when the device connector and ECG lead set assembly connector are connected to one another.
  • a patient monitoring cable is described in claim 1.
  • a patient monitoring cable is described in claim 14.
  • Fig. 1 depicts a patient monitoring cable 7.
  • the depicted patient monitoring cable 7 connects an invasive temperature sensor to a patient monitor.
  • the depicted patient monitoring cable 7 has a first connector end 21 that connects to a patient monitor and a second connector end 22 that connects to an invasive temperature sensor that senses a temperature of a patient.
  • the patient monitoring cable 7 has electronics housed in the electronics housing 8, which may include computer hardware and circuitry for processing the physiological data recorded by the invasive temperature sensor and may also include patient isolation circuitry. It will be understood by one of skill in the art that the patient monitoring cable 7 depicted in Figs. 1 and 2 may be alternatively configured to connect any type of physiological sensors for patient monitoring to a monitoring device.
  • patient monitoring cables may be configured to connect any of the following exemplary type of sensor to a patient monitor and to transmit electrical power and patient physiological data between the sensor device and the patient monitor, including electrocardiograph sensors, electroencephalograph sensors, invasive blood pressure monitors, noninvasive blood pressure cuffs, SpO 2 sensors, pulse oximeters, and other known devices for measuring patient physiological data.
  • patient monitoring cables 7 have a life cycle that is often dictated by the failure of a single part.
  • the sensor end of the cable, or the end of the cable that connects to sensor devices is a common source of failure because it endures a lot of abuse, including continually being connected and disconnected to sensors on patients, being exposed to forces from patient interaction, fluid exposure, etc.
  • patient monitoring cables 7 have become increasingly complex and expensive to replace, especially those cables having electronics housed therein. Accordingly, the inventors recognized the need for an improved patient monitoring cable 7 having a sensor end that is removable and replaceable.
  • the inventors also recognized that the sensor end and the monitoring end of the patient monitoring cable must have a lockable connection that can endure significant force, such as from movement and pulling by patients and caregivers.
  • the present inventors developed the locking connector 14 having the elements and features disclosed herein.
  • the disclosed locking connector 14 is beneficially designed to provide up to 50 lbf of retention force and withstand up to 50 lbf of side load without releasing.
  • the locking connector 14 may be configured to intentionally release under a lesser load.
  • the locking connector 14 also provides easy connection. As disclosed herein, the ease of disconnection can be varied via different configurations disclosed herein.
  • the locking connector 14 has a locking connector end 16 and a locking receptacle end 18.
  • the locking connector 14 connects a first cable 11 and a second cable 12.
  • the first cable 11 connects a patient monitor at a first connector end 21 to electronics housing 8 via shielded conductor cords 9.
  • the second cable 12 connects physiological sensors at a second connector end 22 through shielded conductor cords 9 to the electronics housing 8 (via locking connector 14).
  • the first cable 11 and the second cable 12 connect at the locking connector 14, with the first cable 11 having a locking receptacle end 18 that receives the locking connector end 16 of the second cable 12.
  • the locking connector end 16 has a connector 34 configured to connect with, or be received by, receptacle 36 of the locking receptacle end 18.
  • the locking connector end 16 has a depressible latch 60 configured to lock the locking connector end 16 to the locking receptacle end 18, thereby locking the connector 34 to the receptacle 36.
  • the connector 34 and the receptacle 36 may be any type of connection devices known in the art that provide transfer of electrical power and patient physiological data, including any USB-compliant devices (standard-size USB, mini USB, micro USB, or any other USB-compliant plug and receptacle pair), pin and socket connectors, blade and beam connectors, or the like.
  • first connector end 21 (which in the depicted embodiment is configured to connect to a patient monitor) and the second connector end 22 (which in the depicted embodiment is configured to connect to a patient sensor) may have any connector configuration, such as the aforementioned connector types.
  • the locking connector end 16 has a connector housing 28 surrounding at least a portion of the connector 34.
  • the connector housing 28 entirely surrounds the connector 34, which may be, for example, a circuit board providing beam connectors configured to connect with blades on the receptacle 36.
  • the depressible latch 60 is configured such that in a resting state, when no external pressure is applied to the depressible latch 60, a top portion 66 of the depressible latch 60 is elevated above a top surface 86 of the connector housing 28. When the locking connector end 16 connects to the locking receptacle end 18, the depressible latch 60 is depressed to allow the locking connector end 16 to enter the locking receptacle end 18.
  • the depressible latch 60 returns to its resting position above the top surface 86 of the connector housing 28 to engage a recess 72 in the receptacle housing 30.
  • the depressible latch 60 is received in the recess 72 of the receptacle housing 30 when the connector 34 becomes fully engaged with the receptacle 36.
  • entry edge 67 of the depressible latch 60 interfaces with entry protrusion 41 of the receptacle housing 30.
  • the entry edge 67 of the depressible latch 60 is ramped such that when the depressible latch 60 encounters the entry protrusion 41, an entry edge 42 of entry protrusion 41 slides against the ramped entry edge 67 to force the depressible latch 60 downward in the direction of arrow 50.
  • the entry edge 42 of the entry protrusion 41 also has a ramped edge which further facilitates the sliding interaction between the entry protrusion 41 and the depressible latch 60 as the locking connector end 16 is forced into the locking receptacle end 18.
  • the depressible latch 60 is depressed downward into the connector housing 28 so that the connector housing 28 can enter the receptacle housing 30 and the connector 34 can engage the receptacle 36.
  • the depressible latch 60 may be configured such that when it is depressed, the top portion 66 of the depressible latch 60 becomes flush with the top surface 86 of the connector housing 28.
  • the locking edge 68 of the depressible latch 60 passes the locking edge 43 of the entry protrusion 41 allowing the depressible latch 60 to move upwards to its resting position above the top surface 86 of the connector housing 28.
  • the depressible latch 60 is received in recess 72 of the receptacle housing 30.
  • the locking edge 68 of the depressible latch 60 engages the locking edge 43 of the entry protrusion 41 to lock the connector 34 in fully connected engagement with the receptacle 36.
  • the locking connector 14 is tool-removable, meaning that a tool must be inserted into the device through hole 74 in the receptacle housing 30 in order to depress the depressible latch 60 and permit disconnection of the connector 34 from the receptacle 36.
  • a plug 33 may occupy the hole 74 when the locking connector end 16 remains connected to the locking receptacle end 18 to prevent entry of fluids or particles into the locking connector 14.
  • the plug 33 may be comprised of rubber or other elastomeric substance. The plug 33 will be removed from the hole 74 prior to insertion of the removal tool.
  • the plug 33 may be removed by prying the plug 33 from the hole 74.
  • the plug 33 may have a tab or a notch that facilitates removal of the plug 33 from the hole 74.
  • the tool-removable embodiment has the benefit that the locking connector 14 cannot be inadvertently or mistakenly disconnected while the cable is in use, for example by a patient or by a caregiver in the course of performing patient care.
  • the locking connector 14 would be disconnected by someone authorized to perform technical work on patient monitoring devices, such as a bio-med technician or a product representative.
  • a button 32 is provided on the exterior of the connector housing that facilitates depression of the depressible latch 60 to permit disconnection of the locking connector end 16 from the locking receptacle end 18 (see Fig. 8 ). This embodiment eliminates the need for a tool and makes it easier to disconnect the locking connector 14, which may be desirable for some applications.
  • the depressible latch 60 may have a locking edge 68 that is ramped to allow the connector 34 to be disconnected from the receptacle 36 by pulling the locking connector end 16 away from the locking receptacle end 18 with at least a predetermined amount of force. As shown in Fig. 4 , the ramped locking edge 68 interfaces with the locking edge 43 of the entry protrusion 41 when opposing forces are applied to the locking connector end 16 and the locking receptacle end 18.
  • the force necessary to separate the locking connector end 16 from the locking receptacle end 18 may be varied by varying the angle of the ramped locking edge 68-with a more gradual angle requiring less removal force and a steeper angle requiring more removal force. Additionally, the locking edge 43 of the entry protrusion 41 may also be rounded or ramped to further facilitate depression of the depressible latch 60 and reduce the amount of force required for removal.
  • the locking connector end 16 and locking receptacle end 18 may have multiple O-rings 38 at various positions to prevent the entry of fluid into the locking connector 14, and specifically into the conductive portions of the connector 34 and the receptacle 36.
  • O-ring 38a is fitted to the end of the connector housing 28 and O-ring 38b is fitted to the receptacle housing 30 to prevent entry of fluids to the area where the two pieces join, and thus the area where the connector 34 joins the receptacle 36.
  • Another O-ring 38c is placed at the entry of the receptacle housing 30 to provide a seal between the receptacle housing 30 and the connector housing 28.
  • Figs. 5a-5c depict one embodiment of the depressible latch 60, which is generally C-shaped and wraps around the sides 88 of the connector housing 28 (as also shown in Figs. 2 , 3 , and 7a-7b ).
  • the depressible latch 60 has a squared C-shape having a flat top portion 66 and squared top corners 65.
  • the depressible latch 60 may be a rounded C-shape with an arched top portion 66.
  • the top portion 66 may be concave.
  • the depressible latch 60 has two flexible side portions 62 that extend downward along the sides of the connector housing.
  • the side portions 62 terminate at foot ends 64.
  • the side portions 62 curve inward to clasp the connector housing 28.
  • the connector housing 28 has notches 81 on either side 88. Each notch 81 receives a foot end 64 of the depressible latch 60.
  • the foot ends 64 are configured to extend inward to fit into the notches 81 to clasp the connector housing 28.
  • the mirrored curvature of the side portions 62 of the C-shaped depressible latch 60 creates an inward pressure forcing the foot ends 64 into the notches 81 of the connector housing 28.
  • the notches 81 are positioned on the sides 88 of the connector housing 28 such that when the foot ends 64 are in the notches 81, the top portion 66 of the depressible latch 60 is elevated above the top surface 86 of the connector housing 28.
  • the inward force created by the side portions 62 biases the depressible latch 60 into an inward-most position in the notches 81.
  • the notches 81 have a ramped edge 83 on the bottom side such that, when a downward force is applied to the depressible latch 60, the foot ends 64 slide along the ramped edge 83 in the direction of the arrows 90.
  • the foot ends 64 may be rounded to facilitate sliding on the ramped edges 83.
  • the side portions 62 are thus forced to flex outward to accommodate the progressively wider area between the ramped edges 83 of the connector housing 28.
  • the foot ends 64 slide down the ramped edges 83 until the top portion 66 of the depressible latch 60 clears the entry protrusion 41 of the receptacle housing 30.
  • the depressible latch 60 may be depressible such that the top portion 66 becomes flush with the top surface 86 of the connector housing 28. Once the downward force is released from the depressible latch 60, the inward-biased force created by the side portions 62 causes the foot ends 64 to slide back up in the ramped edges 83 and into the notches 81. Thereby, the depressible latch 60 springs back upward into its resting position.
  • the notches 81 may not have a ramped edge 83, or the ramped edge 83 may have limited length.
  • the side portion 62 of the depressible latch 60 may be configured to flex or bow outward or inward to absorb the downward force and allow sufficient depression of the depressible latch 60. In such an embodiment, the foot ends 64 may not make any downward movement with respect to the notches 81.
  • Fig. 5b depicts a side view of the depressible latch 60 showing the entry edge 67 and the locking edge 68 of the exemplary embodiment.
  • the entry edge 67 may be ramped as shown to facilitate depression of the depressible latch 60 by the entry protrusion 41.
  • the angle 67A of the ramp can be optimized for a particular locking connector 14, which may depend on, for example, the height h and width w of the depressible latch 60. Additionally, the angle 67A may be adjusted based on an angle of a ramped entry edge 42 of the entry protrusion.
  • the entry edge 67 of the latch may be ramped at an angle 67A of 45°. However, other angles may be preferred based on the aforementioned factors.
  • the entry edge 67 may be squared without any ramp. In such an embodiment, a user may depress the depressible latch 60 when inserting the locking connector end 16 into the locking receptacle end 18.
  • the depressible latch 60 has a squared locking edge 68. As described above, the locking edge 68 engages the locking edge 43 of the entry protrusion 41. In other embodiments such as that depicted and described with respect to Fig. 4 , the locking edge may be ramped so that the entry protrusion 41 depresses the depressible latch 60 when the locking connector end 16 is pulled away from the locking receptacle end 18 with a predefined amount of force.
  • the depressible latch 60 may be keyed so that the depressible latch 60 is oriented correctly on the connector housing 28.
  • Fig. 5c shows a top view of the depressible latch 60 demonstrating one embodiment of a key 69 for guaranteeing that the depressible latch 60 is correctly oriented.
  • One side of the depressible latch 60 has a width w and the other side is narrower, having a width w'.
  • the connector housing 28 can be molded to fit the keyed orientation so as to prevent misapplication of the depressible latch.
  • the depressible latch may be comprised of any flexible material or materials that allow the side portions 62 to flex to enable depression of the depressible latch.
  • the depressible latch may be formed of injection-molded plastic, such as polyoxymethylene, including materials such as Delrin, Celcon, Rantal, Duracon, Kepital, and Hostaform.
  • the depressible latch 60 may be formed of injection molded Delrin 500P.
  • Fig. 8 depicts another embodiment of the locking connector 14 having a push button 32 on the receptacle housing 30 that can be pushed to depress the depressible latch 60 to permit disconnection of the connector 34 from the receptacle 36.
  • the button 32 has a depressor extension 35 that extends from the button 32 at the surface of the receptacle housing 30, through the hole 74 in the receptacle housing 30, to the top surface of the depressible latch 60. Pressing the button 32 causes the depressible latch 60 to move downward in the direction of arrow 50 to become flush with the top surface 86 of the connector housing 28. Thereby, the depressible latch 60 can clear the entry protrusion 41 and allow the locking connector end 16 to be removed from the locking receptacle end 18.
