Definitions
- the present invention relates to wireless patient devices. It finds particular application with physiological monitoring devices that are connected to the patient and communicate wirelessly to each other and a central unit. However, the invention is also applicable to dosing devices, such as perfusion pumps, which are wirelessly controlled, and the like.
- patient monitors such as an ekg sensor, pulse sensor, blood oxygen sensor, and the like are each connected with its control unit by a cable.
- This maze of cables is inconvenient to set up and uncomfortable for the patient.
- moving the patient typically requires disconnecting the cables are reconnecting them after the move.
- the patient is left unmonitored during the move.
- a battery operated component is equipped with a sensor that measures the battery's current charge level. Some provide a simple green light for a strong charge and a red light for a weak charge, i.e., the battery is about to run out. Others provide a gauge which indicates the remaining portion of battery life. Battery life gauges merely indicate a level of charge-not when a battery will run out. Nominally similar batteries will hold different amounts of maximum charge or discharge at different rates. As batteries age, they tend to have progressively shorter lives
- the present application contemplates a new and improved battery monitoring system for use in conjunction with units capable of wireless communication, which overcomes the above-referenced problems and others.
- a wireless medical component includes a functional component which performs a medical procedure, a wireless power supply which powers the functional component, a charge level monitor that monitors a charge level of the power supply, and a transmitter that wirelessly transmits signals from the functional component and the charge level monitor.
- the medical system also includes a host device connected with a receiver that receives the transmitted signals from the wireless medical component.
- the host device includes a medical function signal interpreting means for interpreting the signals received from the functional component and a battery analysis means for determining an estimated remaining operating time of the wireless medical component.
- a method of monitoring the life of a battery of a wireless medical component is provided.
- a medical procedure is performed with a functional component, while a charge level of a power supply that powers the functional component is monitored with a charge level monitor.
- Signals carrying information from the functional component and the power level monitor are wirelessly transmitted from the component and received with a host device.
- the signals received from the functional component are interpreted, and an estimated remaining operating time of the wireless medical component is determined from the received signals.
- One advantage of the present invention is better reliability for systems with battery operated components.
- Another advantage is better battery management of several similar devices. Another advantage is increased reliability for battery operated components. Another advantage lies in increased safety of battery operated critical systems.
- the invention may take form in various components and arrangements of components, and in various steps and arrangements of steps.
- the drawings are only for purposes of illustrating the preferred embodiments and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
- FIGURE 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a preferred implementation of a wireless medical component and battery monitoring system
- FIGURE 2 is a more detailed representation of the wireless medical component of FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 3 is a time v. voltage graph of a typical battery voltage decay
- FIGURE 4 is an illustration of the battery monitoring system where the components and receivers are in a 1 :1 ratio
- FIGURE 5 is an illustration of the battery monitoring system where a single receiver receives signals from multiple components
- FIGURE 6 is an illustration of the battery monitoring system implemented in a wireless hot spot environment.
- a wireless medical component 10 is used in a clinical fashion. Being wireless, the component 10 has the advantage of mobility, and is not anchored to a certain room or spot. As the component 10 still uses electrical power to perform its function or communicate, it has a battery or other portable power supply. With reference to FIGURE 2, the component 10 is shown in more detail.
- the component 10 is powered by a rechargeable power supply or battery 12.
- the battery 12 is rechargeable, such that a user can plug the component 10 in to a docking station to recharge it when not in use. It is to be understood that conventional non-rechargeable batteries are also contemplated, though they are slightly less convenient.
- the battery 12 provides power to a functional element 14, such as an ekg senor, pulse sensor, blood oxygen sensor, blood measure sensor, brain wave sensor temperature sensor, perfusion pump, IV drip controller, patient identification tag or wrist band, pacemaker, respirator, x- ray detector, MRI coil, or the like.
- a functional element 14 such as an ekg senor, pulse sensor, blood oxygen sensor, blood measure sensor, brain wave sensor temperature sensor, perfusion pump, IV drip controller, patient identification tag or wrist band, pacemaker, respirator, x- ray detector, MRI coil, or the like.
- the components associated with each patient communicate with each other and form an ad hoc network.
- the component 10 also includes a battery level or charge level monitor, e.g. a voltage monitor 16 that continuously monitors the voltage output of the battery 12.
- a voltage monitor 16 that continuously monitors the voltage output of the battery 12.
- the voltage monitor only takes voltage readings, and does not interpret the data it collects. On-board interpretation of the data is contemplated and would be more costly in that it might include extra circuit components, such as an extra dedicated microprocessor which would increase monetary cost and shorten the battery life.
- a microprocessing control unit 18 processes the monitored function data, a device ID, possibly a network or patient identifier, information received from other components, and the like along with the battery level data for wireless transfer.
- a wireless transmitter 20 transmits the data to a receiver 22 connected with a host device 24.
- the wireless transmitter is preferably a low power, short range transmitter, such as infra-red, Bluetooth, ZigBee, low strength radio frequency (RF) waves, or the like.
- RF radio frequency
- the host device 24 is connected with the receiver by a transmission cable, a wireless LAN, or the like.
- the host device 24 is dedicated to a specific component and is mounted with the receiver 22.
- the recharging station, the receiver 22 and the host device 24 can be mounted to a mobile cart.
- the control unit 18 can keep a rotating log of recent measurements and transmit all the measurements from recent history periodically, when polled by the host device 24, or the like.
- a portable x-ray source 26 transmits diagnostic x-rays through a subject located on a support surface 28, typically the patient's bed.
- the patient would be x-rayed in their bed and the detector 10 placed between them and the bed. Alternately, The detector 10 can be used in conjunction with a stationary x-ray unit 26. The patients would be transported to a dedicated x-ray room.
- the component 10 is depicted in FIGURE 1 as an x-ray detector, but the present application is available to myriad other battery powered medical devices.
- the transmitter 20 of the component 10 regularly transmits packets of information to the host device 24 that contain the voltage readings, the image data, and the like. Additionally, the data packets preferably contain a component identification, that may include the type of battery 12 that powers the component.
- the transmitter transmits packets of data after each image is taken and battery information periodically in between. A reasonable balance is desired between battery conservation and constant battery monitoring.
- the transmitter 20 transmits battery information every five minutes, but this length of time can be shorter or longer, depending on the application.
- the receiver 22 receives the data packet containing the voltage data from the component 10, the data packet is demodulated by a host control unit 30, converting the wireless signal back into voltage data and diagnostic data.
- the diagnostic data is sent to a diagnostic data processor 32, such as an, image processor in the x-ray imaging embodiment and a battery status monitor 34.
- a diagnostic data processor 32 such as an, image processor in the x-ray imaging embodiment and a battery status monitor 34.
- the receiver 22 and the host control unit 30, and the data processor 32 can collectively be referred to as a subsystem.
- the subsystem preferably performs an automatic picture or graphic processing operation with no user input or interface while the battery status monitor 34 interprets the voltage data. Generally, as a battery drains, its output voltage wanes.
- the battery status monitor 34 determines the state of charge of the battery.
- the battery status monitor 34 at least includes software that compares the current operating voltage of the battery 12 to pre-determined percentage thresholds. For instance, if the current operating voltage is greater than an upper threshold, the battery status monitor 34 may rate the remaining charge of the battery 12 as “good.” If the operating voltage is between upper and lower thresholds, the monitor 34 may report the battery status as "low.” Finally, if the battery's 12 current voltage is below the lower threshold, the monitor 34 may label it as "critical.” In addition, the battery status monitor 34 may be able to report if the state of the battery is unknown, such as if the component 10 leaves the reception range of the receiver 22 for more than a pre-determined number of expected transmissions. The preferred battery status monitor 34 is able to provide a user with more exact information, so the user can more accurately determine whether it is prudent to replace or charge the battery, or to wait and let the component 10 operate longer at its current status.
- the battery status monitor 34 can chart a voltage/remaining usage history. That is, for this battery in this device, for the procedures it commonly or is scheduled to perform, the historical data enables the number of remaining procedures on the battery to be projected or, for continuous monitoring operations, the time the battery will run out. Charging or replacement of the battery 12 is indicated by a significant increase or spike in the actual reported operating voltage. As shown in FIGURE 3, from actual reported voltage data points, coupled with typical drainage patterns, the battery status monitor 34 can extrapolate an expected battery life curve, and determine an estimated critical point 38 in time where the battery operating voltage will become insufficient to operate the component 10 or perform further procedures completely.
- the battery history memory 36 can retain the battery life curves of the battery 12 assuming that it is rechargeable. As the battery 12 grows older and its ability to hold a charge wanes, the expected battery life will grow shorter. Once the battery status monitor 34 compares the battery's 12 ability to hold a charge with a degree of degradation it recommends replacement of the rechargeable battery, rather than just charging it.
- each receiver 22i - 22 n is wired to a common host control unit 30 via a high speed switch 40, or other networking device.
- a single receiver 22i is responsible for a single component 10i.
- the receiver 22i may be programmed to attach the ID of the component 1Oi or its battery for which it is responsible as a rider to the signal.
- This embodiment may be useful, for example, if a component 10 is meant for use in one room only, such as an MRJ receive coil. It may also be useful in a residential setting, such as to monitor the battery life of a respirator.
- FIGURE 5 shows multiple components 1Oi - 1O n that transmit to a common receiver 22. This receiver is connected to the common host control unit 30 and the battery status monitor 34 as in FIGURE 1. This embodiment may be useful where multiple devices operate in a common room or travel together as a set.
- wireless receivers 22 are distributed around an area with overlapping areas of coverage creating an aggregate wireless "hot spot" where any one of many components 10 can transmit to any of the receivers.
- any one of many components 10 can transmit to any of the receivers.
- the components 10 are preferably programmed to transmit identifiers in each signal packet. Should multiple receivers detect the same transmission from the component 10 either the host control unit 30 can reconcile duplicative received transmissions.
- the battery status monitor 34 is displayed on a user interface 42.
- the component is identified along with its estimated battery life.
- the battery status monitor 34 is a program that runs in the background of a computer's operating system. The user can access the program by clicking an icon, bringing up a list of the active components 10 that the battery status monitor 34 is currently monitoring.
- the nurse or technician is shown the remaining battery life of the selected component.
- a list of the components with sufficient battery life to perform the procedure is displayed. If a component with insufficient battery life to complete the procedure is selected, a warning can be displayed.
- the host device can match battery requirements with remaining battery life and schedule which component will be assigned to each procedure.
- battery maintenance may be an assigned task. A nurse's aide or other technician can easily access a list of components and their battery statuses, and see which components should be returned to their chargers, or have their batteries replaced. Alternately the battery life information can be routed to a battery maintenance center. Optionally, an audible or visual alarm may be sounded either at the component location, the host device location, and nurses' station or the like to warn that a component 10 battery 12 is within a preselected threshold of dying. In an alternate embodiment, the transmitter 20 could instead be a transceiver. The current battery status could then be transmitted back to the component which may affect the activity of the component.
- a component with some amount of random access memory may receive a message that its battery 12 is critically low. This may trigger the component to enter a state in which it conserves power by continuing only essential functions, such as ensuring that any information stored in RAM will remain intact. If the component is in a network, the low battery signal can transfer some or all or its functions to other network components that have redundant capacity regarding one or more of its functions.
- RAM random access memory
