Patent

CA 2403282

This invention relates generally to patient monitoring systems and more particularly concerns devices and systems used to monitor bed patients in hospital or other care-giving environments. In accordance with a first aspect of the instant invention, there is provided a pressure sensitive mat which has been completely sealed around its exterior edges. The interior of the mat is kept in communication with the atmosphere by way of a section of flexible tubing which encloses the attached electrical line. One end of the tubing is sealed inside of the mat and the other end is open to the atmosphere, thereby providing a passageway for air to reach the interior of the mat. This arrangement, however, protects the interior of the mat from exposure to fluids near the perimeter of the mat and allows the mat-portion of the invention to be completely submersed without adverse effect, if that should become necessary.

L'invention concerne des systèmes de contrôle de patients, plus particulièrement, des dispositifs et des systèmes mis en application pour contrôler des patients alités dans un hôpital ou d'autres environnements prodiguant des soins. Dans un premier aspect de l'invention, un coussinet sensible à la pression présente des bords extérieurs totalement scellés. L'intérieur du coussinet est maintenu en communication avec l'atmosphère au moyen d'une partie de tubage flexible entourant le conducteur électrique qui lui est fixé. Une extrémité de ce tubage est scellée à l'intérieur du coussinet et l'autre extrémité est ouverte à l'atmosphère, ce qui crée un passage permettant à l'air d'atteindre l'intérieur du coussinet. Ce dispositif, cependant, protège l'intérieur du coussinet contre une exposition à des liquides à proximité du périmètre de ce coussinet et permet de submerger totalement ce dernier sans inconvénient si nécessaire.
