Abstract

The invention relates to autonomous medical appliances designed for preventive and continuous monitoring of bodily functions in living creatures. This device allows monitoring and control of any health-related incident in an individual, and in particular neonates. The device comprises a belt fitted with a deformation sensor connected to a microtransmitter, and a remote sensing receiver box.

Description

La présente invention concerne les appareils et dispositifs de contrtle des organes et des fonctions chez les êtres vivants. The present invention relates to apparatus and devices for controlling organs and functions in living beings.

Les appareils connus de ce genre sont conçus pour la réception des ondes électriques émises par les organes en fonction. Known devices of this kind are designed for the reception of electric waves emitted by the organs in operation.

. chaque appareil est spécifique au contrôle d'un seul organe déterminé. . each device is specific to controlling a single determined organ.

. la mise en oeuvre de ces appareils est réservée à des spécialistes et pour seulement des cas pathologiques ou des contrôles ponctuels. . the use of these devices is reserved for specialists and for only pathological cases or spot checks.

. Ces appareils non autonomes sont d'une structure importante t le patient an est dépendant. . These non-autonomous devices have an important structure and the patient is dependent.

. ces appareils ne sont pas conçus techniquement pour traduire simultanément tous les incidents de santé et d'origines différentes. . these devices are not technically designed to simultaneously translate all health incidents of different origins.

. pas d'appareils réalisés à l'usage familial pour la prévention de la mort subite du nouveau-né. . no devices made for family use for the prevention of sudden death of the newborn.

Le dispositif selon l'invention consiste an une sangle souple non extensible, du genre ceinture, fermée par une partie élastique de longueur seulement nécessaire à la fixation d'un capteur de déformation du type jauge de contraintes électronique. The device according to the invention consists of a flexible, non-stretchable strap, of the belt type, closed by an elastic part of length only necessary for fixing a deformation sensor of the electronic strain gauge type.

Cette jauge est reliée à un micro-émetteur qui imet vers un boîtier de contrôle à distance comprenant un récepteur, un signal lumineux et un signal sonore.This gauge is connected to a micro-transmitter which imitates towards a remote control unit comprising a receiver, a light signal and an audible signal.

Lorsque la ceinture subit les efforts d'expansion et de contraction de la cage thoracique, c'est la partie élastique seule de la sangle qui reproduit les contraintes, lesquelles sont captées par la jauge de contraintes et transformées en signaux électriques émis par le microémetteur vere le boitier-récepteur.When the belt undergoes the efforts of expansion and contraction of the rib cage, it is the only elastic part of the strap which reproduces the stresses, which are picked up by the stress gauge and transformed into electrical signals emitted by the micro transmitter vere the receiver box.

- Dans le cas ou la ceinture thoracique ne subit plus de contraintes klternatives durant plus de 6 secondes, le signal sonore du boitiercontrôle se met an action.- In the case where the thoracic belt is no longer subjected to alternative stresses for more than 6 seconds, the audible signal from the control box starts to act.

. Le témoin lumineux du boitier-controle permet de visualiser à distance et en permanence les variations respiratoires induites par tout accident ou incident de santé tels que vomissements, pleura, hoquets, navre.  . The indicator light on the control unit allows remote viewing of the respiratory variations caused by any accident or health incident such as vomiting, crying, hiccups, heartache.

En cas de mort subits l'alarme sonore se déclenche après un arrêt de plus de 6 secondes des mouvements respiratoires.In the event of sudden death the audible alarm is triggered after a stop of more than 6 seconds of the respiratory movements.

De part sa simplicité de mise en oeuvre et sa légèreté, ce dispositif convient particulierement à l'usage familial, notemment pour la prévention de la mort subite du nouveau-né. Due to its simplicity of implementation and its lightness, this device is particularly suitable for family use, especially for the prevention of sudden death of the newborn.

Le dispositif selon l'invention consiste en une sangle souple non extensible du type ceinture. Cette sangle est fermée par une partie élastique de longueur seulement nécessaire à la pose d'un capteur de déformations du type jauge de contrainte. Lorsque la ceinture subit ies contraintes des mouvements respiratoires, c1 est seulement la partie élastique qui par nature, reproduit mécaniquement les déformations. La jauge de contraintes capte ces déformations et les traduits en signaux électriques qui sont envoyés par le microémetteur vers le boitier-récepteur de contrtle situés à distance; celui-çi contient: - le récepteur
- le signal lumineux qui traduit en permanence les fluctuations des signaux électriques.The device according to the invention consists of a flexible, non-extensible strap of the belt type. This strap is closed by an elastic part of length only necessary for the installation of a strain gauge type strain sensor. When the belt is subjected to the constraints of respiratory movements, it is only the elastic part which by nature mechanically reproduces the deformations. The strain gauge captures these deformations and translates them into electrical signals which are sent by the microemitter to the remote control receiver box; this contains: - the receiver
- the light signal which permanently reflects the fluctuations of the electrical signals.

- le signal sonore d'alarme qui se déclenche uniquement lorsque il y a arrat des variations électriques, donc arrêt des mouvements respiratoires. - the audible alarm signal which is triggered only when there are electrical variations, thus stopping the respiratory movements.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est destiné à la surveillance individuelle et préventive des personnes et notamMent des nouveauxnés dans-tous les services de pédiatrie, et particulièrement à l'usage familial pour la surveillance permanente des nouveaux-nés en prévention de la mort subite du nourrisson.  The device according to the invention is intended for the individual and preventive monitoring of people and in particular of newborns in all pediatric departments, and particularly for family use for the permanent monitoring of newborns in prevention of sudden death of the infant.
