WATER-RESISTANCE ECG MONITOR AND USER INTERFACE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/432 G06F19/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment. An ECG monitor of a cardiac monitoring system for outpatients comprises rechargeable battery in a nonconductive water-resistant case, a processor for processing the patient's ECG signals, a processed ECG signal memory, a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor and used for wireless ECG signal transmission to a receiver, a user interface and a power circuit. The user interface is provided on an outer side of the case, electrically connected with the components in the case and only includes a number of electric pins. The power circuit is designed to detect the connections of ECG monitor contacts with an external charging dock and detecting an electrical connection of the ECG monitor for receiving the patient's ECG signals. The power circuit is also used to switch ECG monitor to a low-power mode when the ECG monitor is not connected for receiving the patient's ECG signals and is not connected for charging the battery. The power circuit provides switching the ECG monitor to a high-power mode in response to detecting the charging connection.

EFFECT: using the invention provides the waiting mode control in response to the charging connection detected.
