Please note that when using the
It is desirable to select a place with a constant temperature (20 to 25°C) and low humidity, and it is necessary to be sure to be grounded.

The control of this embodiment with the above configuration is shown in FIGS. 3(A) and (
This will be explained below with reference to the flowchart of B).

First, it is checked in step S1 whether or not analysis recording is to be performed, and if analysis recording is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S2, where the electrode portion of the guidance cord 190 connected to the guidance cord connector 30a is attached to the measurement site of the subject. . In this embodiment, there are two guide cord connectors 30a, and when information collection and inspection of one is completed, it is possible to immediately switch to inspection using the other connector. As a result, a large number of tests can be completed in a short period of time, and the efficiency of medical examinations can be expected to increase. Attaching electrodes to a subject is an important technique for electrocardiogram recording, but since this electrode attachment technique is well known, detailed explanation will be omitted.

The preparation for measurement is now complete, so in step S3 the mode key on the operation panel A250a is pressed to enter the analysis mode, the analysis lamp is turned on, and the process proceeds to step S4.In step S4, the patient information is entered manually. In this example, this subject information includes "age of subject" and "gender".
, "subject identification number", "height", "weight", "systolic blood pressure value and diastolic blood pressure value", etc. are set and input. When the CPUI detects this patient information input via the operation panel interface 22, it saves the detected data in the RAM 3.

Note that "height", "weight", and "systolic blood pressure value and diastolic blood pressure value" are input to the extent possible. Inputting these items will further improve the reliability of the analysis results of the analysis process described below.

Next, in step S5, the guidance selection key on the operation panel AI 20a is input to start collecting biological information by the CPU 1, and the detected waveforms from each electrode part of the guidance cord 190 are input via the external input interface 30, and The detected waveforms are sequentially recorded and displayed on the display section 200. Check the electrocardiogram waveform being measured here, and check whether the electrode part is correctly attached to the measurement site.

If there is an abnormality in the electrocardiogram waveform, the processing from step S2 will be performed again.

When confirmation of the electrocardiogram waveform is completed, the process advances to step S6, and the record/stop key is input. Thereby, the process proceeds to step S7, where the CPU 1 performs an analysis process of the detected waveform from each electrode portion of the guidance cord 190 according to the previously inputted patient information. , and records the analysis results in a predetermined area in RAMa. This analysis is performed based on the electrocardiogram waveform recorded during RAMa.

The device of this embodiment can perform the following processes as an electrocardiogram waveform analysis process, and among these processes, a preset and selected process is executed.

The above analysis is for the ECG waveform at rest, and when analyzing the ECG waveform after stress, it is necessary to select whether or not to automatically record after stress (the initial setting is "None"). ), "Setting automatic recording time after loading"
(The initial setting is "1.3°5.7, 10.15 minutes"). At this time, if the load and automatic recording are set to "Yes", analysis processing is automatically performed at each set time and the analysis results are recorded.

In principle, this stress test is performed by first recording an electrocardiogram at rest and confirming that there are no abnormalities, and the amount of stress can be calculated from the above-mentioned subject information.

That is, the optimum value can be easily determined based on the sex, age, weight, etc. of the subject.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the analysis process is performed by taking into consideration the previously inputted patient information.

An example of the output of this analysis result is shown in FIG.

In the subsequent step S8, the CPU 1 checks whether or not the record/stop key has been input. If the record/stop key has not been input, the CPU 1 continues to perform the process of step S7 to record/stop.
If the stop key is input, the analysis process ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1 that the mode is not analysis mode, the process proceeds to step SIO to check whether or not the mode is electrocardiogram recording mode. In the case of electrocardiogram recording mode, the process advances to step S12 and subsequent steps, and electrocardiogram waveform recording processing is executed. In this electrocardiogram waveform recording process, steps S12 to S16 are similar to steps 82 to S6 of the analysis process described above. Then, in the process of step S17, an electrocardiogram waveform recording process excluding the analysis process of step S7 is performed. Then, in step S18, the human power of the record/stop key is checked as in step 88, and if the key has been input, the process is terminated.

If the key has not been input, the process advances to step S19 to check whether the analysis key has been input. If the analysis key has not been input, the process returns to step S17, and if the key has been input, the process proceeds to 7 to proceed to analysis processing.

Furthermore, if it is not the electrocardiogram recording mode at step SIO, the process proceeds to step S21 and subsequent steps, and steps S21 to
In step S23, it is checked whether the file/transfer process is a write process to the information card 160, a read process from the card 160, or a data output process to another connected device. Here, the analysis recording process has been completed and if writing to the information card 160 is selected, the process advances from step S21 to step S25, where the information card 160 is set in the information card recorder/reader 150 and the processing mode is set. Set the card to write mode and enter the input key. The CPU i that detected this input key is
In the following step S26, the analysis results and electrocardiogram waveforms previously analyzed in the analysis process are recorded in the information card 160 along with the patient information according to the processing mode.

On the other hand, if reading processing from the information card 160 is selected, the process advances from step S22 to step S30, where the information card 160 is set in the information card recorder/reader 150, the processing mode is set to card reading mode, and the input key is pressed. Enter. CPU that detected this input key
1 reads various information regarding the subject stored in the information card 160 according to the processing mode in the subsequent step S3i, and displays the read data on the display 200 in step S32. The operator checks the display on the display 200 to determine whether or not to write successive data into the RAM 5, and when writing, inputs the record/stop key. Note that if you do not want to write, you can simply input the cancel key.

When the CPU 1 detects the input of the record/stop key, in step S34, the CPU 1 stores the information continuously generated from the information card 160 in the RAM.
Then, in step S35, it is checked whether or not to perform analysis processing of the read electrocardiogram waveform data.If analysis processing is to be performed, the processing mode is set to analysis processing mode in step S36, and step Proceeding to the process of S7, the analysis process is executed.

If the analysis process is not to be performed in step S35, the process proceeds to step S40, where it is checked whether or not to perform the print process.
If the print process is not to be performed, the process is terminated, and if the print process is to be performed, the read information written in RAMa is printed out from the printer 300 in step S41.

Furthermore, if data output processing to another connected device is selected, the process advances from step S23 to step S50, the processing mode is set to data output mode, and in step S51, the connected device is analyzed first and stored in RAMa. Sends stored information about the subject. The destination is the device connected to this device, and is ignored if there is no connected device. Note that if there are multiple connected devices, the destination may be specified at the same time as setting the processing mode.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to efficiently display and print out the electrocardiogram information collected from the patient and the analysis results of the collected information, as well as the information regarding the patient.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned processing information can be stored in an easy-to-handle and highly reliable information card (IC card), and an apparatus system that is easy to use and easy to store processing data can be provided.

It is also possible to read the data stored in the information card in which analysis information and the like are stored together with the subject information in advance in this manner, and output or analyze the successive data. This information card is small and easy to handle, so in the case of patients undergoing regular diagnosis, by having the patient carry it directly, they can quickly read out past diagnosis status at any time. , it becomes possible to understand. Therefore, it is possible to take quick and accurate measures against changes in the situation, particularly in subjects with heart defects.
