More specifically, it relates to a system to compensate for artifacts caused by external noise during measurement of vital signals, and to display index of vibration on the monitoring system through interpretation of the vibration signals which affect the physiological state of the body and the measurement of vital signals, due to external disturbance factors, when noise from external disturbances such as vibration of a moving ambulance vehicle, vibration of a remote transmitting diagnostic device attached to the patient, or movement of the patient, is mixed into the transmitted signals. The present invention provides a start code, a data code, a degree of vibration and movement level, a three axis acceleration value and signals of three axis acceleration and measured vital signals. Thus it can improve the accuracy of measurement of vital signals (ECG, NiBP, SPO2, TEMPERATURE, Respiration) under adverse conditions with much vibration such as in moving vehicles. Furthermore, as the present invention can be attached to conventional vital signals measurement modules on the patient through a simple interface part, it can minimize inaccuracy due to vibration and dynamic disturbance in measurement of vital signals during transport of the patient by vehicle or otherwise. Furthermore, the present invention can compensate for artifacts caused by external noise during measurement of vital signals, and display index of vibration on the monitoring system through interpretation of the vibration signals which affect the physiological state of the body and the measurement of vital signals, due to external disturbance factors, when noise from external disturbances such as vibration of a moving ambulance vehicle, vibration of a remote transmitting diagnostic device attached to the patient, or movement of the patient, is mixed into the transmitted signals. | 01-22-2009 |
