Respiration rate is transmitted in „rpm“ (respirations per minute).
Pulse rate is transmitted in „bpm“ (beats per minute).
Pressures for NIBP are transmitted in mmHg (1mmHg = 133,322 Pascal).
Temperatures are transmitted in 10∙°C, e.g. 388 equals 38.8 °C.
Overview
The MP01000 contains a five lead ECG, a pulse oximeter, a part for measuring a
patient's arterial blood pressure, none-invasively, and a two channel thermometer.
The module can work with a five lead ECG cable to show 7 channels of ECG, with a
four lead cable showing 6 channels, and with a three lead cable to show one channel of
ECG. An advanced pulse detection algorithm is integrated.
The module measures the respiration rate of the patient using the impedance change
between the electrodes.
When using a five lead cable, the module can output the following channels synchro-
nously: I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, C.
When using a four lead cable, the module can output the following channels synchro-
nously: I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF.
When using a three lead cable, the module can output the following channels: I or II or
III.
The non-invasive blood pressure measurement is done using a standard cuff, normally
fitted on the left upper arm of the patient. There are six different cuff sizes available.
SpO2is measured using an optical transducer that is attached to the patient's finger.
Medlab offers a complete family of transducers, reusable - and single use types, for
adults and neonates.
Temperature is measured using standard YSI400 family temperature probes.
The MP01000 contains all patient-side electronics needed for a complete and small
medical multi-parameter monitor.
The module communicates with a host over a bidirectional serial interface, either of
UART or CAN type. The MP01000 receives commands from the host and streams the
measured patient data back to the host microcontroller. Both sides of the protocol are
block oriented and secured by a CRC checksum present in the data blocks.
Since the module generates a relatively large amount of data, a powerful 32 bit host
microcontroller is required. For example, ARM Cortex M3 or Cortex M4 controllers are
very well suited to receive and decode the data stream and also eventually control a
user interface on a colour LCD or similar.
