CA 2482966

There is provided herein an electronic patient monitor that includes indirect lighting of its control panel. Preferably, a splash guard is affixed to the monitor in a position proximate to one or more light sources, none of which directly illuminate the control panel. Light from the light sources is received by the splash guard and transmitted internally to the control panel, where the light that is emitted from the splash guard provides illumination for the user. In another variation, there is provided an electronic patient monitor with one or more light sources affixed thereto, which light sources are used to signal the operating characteristics of the monitor including its alarm volume setting, whether or not it is sounding an alarm, etc. In another variation, there is provided an electronic patient monitor that uses an environmental sensor to adapt its operating characteristics based on conditions proximate to the patient.

L'invention concerne un appareil électronique de surveillance de patient, qui comprend un éclairage indirect de son panneau de commande. De préférence, un élément de protection est fixé sur l'appareil de surveillance à proximité immédiate d'une ou de plusieurs sources lumineuses dont aucune n'illumine directement le panneau de commande. La lumière provenant des sources lumineuses est reçue par l'élément de protection et transmise de manière interne au panneau de commande, la lumière émise par l'élément de protection fournissant l'éclairage pour l'utilisateur. Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, une ou plusieurs sources lumineuses sont fixées sur un appareil électronique de surveillance de patient et servent à signaler les caractéristiques de fonctionnement de l'appareil de surveillance, notamment le réglage du volume d'un signal sonore, l'activation ou la désactivation d'un signal sonore, etc. Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, un appareil électronique de surveillance de patient utilise un capteur environnemental pour adapter ses caractéristiques de fonctionnement à des conditions régnant à proximité immédiate du patient.
