6.1 Hospital monitoring host - Leiditech recommended protection scheme
一．Introduction to Medical Monitoring Hosts
Medical monitoring host usually refers to a system that integrates multiple medical monitoring devices, through which multiple physiological parameters can be monitored simultaneously, and alerts and notifications can be provided to medical personnel when needed. This system is typically used in intensive care units, operating rooms, and other medical environments that require close monitoring of patient vital signs
Medical monitoring hosts typically include the following aspects:
1. Vital sign monitoring: This system can monitor physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and body temperature of patients, and present these data to medical staff in a digital display format.
2. Alarm notification: When any physiological parameters of the patient exceed the predetermined range, the system will automatically issue an alarm notification to medical staff for timely action.
3. Data storage and management: The system can store physiological parameter data of multiple patients in a central database and can be accessed through computers or mobile devices.
4. Visual presentation: The system can display the real-time trend of physiological parameter changes of patients, and medical staff can view historical data and analyze it when needed.
The role of medical monitoring hosts is to provide comprehensive and real-time monitoring and management of patient physiological parameter data, to help medical personnel improve work efficiency and diagnostic accuracy. By integrating multiple monitoring devices and data management functions, the system greatly improves the efficiency of medical institutions, while providing patients with safer and more reliable medical services.
The EMC guy from Shanghai Leimao shared the importance of circuit protection in his previous article. Let's take a look at whether the medical monitoring host we shared today is necessary to also protect it.
二．The importance of electrostatic surge protection for medical monitoring hosts
Medical monitoring hosts are usually highly sensitive electronic devices that are highly sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Although there is no mandatory requirement that medical monitoring devices must have electrostatic surge protection, electrostatic surge protection is very important to ensure the reliability and stability of medical monitoring devices, as well as the normal operation and extension of their service life.
In the medical environment, personnel activities and equipment operation may generate static electricity, and the energy of static discharge may cause sustained damage or temporary interference to sensitive equipment such as medical monitoring hosts. These interferences may cause device malfunctions, data loss, or misreadings, thereby affecting patient monitoring and medical processes.
Therefore, Lei Mao EMC believes that in order to protect the medical monitoring host from damage or interference caused by electrostatic discharge, it is recommended to take some electrostatic surge protection measures.
三．Electrostatic surge protection measures
The following are some common methods for electrostatic surge protection:
1. Anti static flooring: Lay anti-static flooring around the medical monitoring host to guide static electricity underground and reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge.
2. Static electricity protection mat: Place the medical monitoring host on a specially designed static electricity protection mat, which can absorb static electricity and prevent it from conducting to the device.
3. Anti static grounding: Ensure that the medical monitoring host and other equipment are well grounded so that static electricity can quickly dissipate.
4. Electrostatic eliminator: By using specialized electrostatic eliminator equipment, static accumulation can be reduced by generating opposite charges or neutralizing static electricity.
5. Electrostatic protection packaging: When maintaining, handling, or storing medical monitoring equipment, use electrostatic protection packaging materials to prevent damage to the equipment caused by electrostatic discharge.
6. Surrounding environment control: Maintain appropriate humidity in the working environment of the medical monitoring host, as humidity can reduce the generation and accumulation of static electricity
The above measures are actually impossible for us to strictly implement，
SO......
7. The most important thing is inner strength, in order to let the external mirror withstand wind and rain - a sturdy anti-static surge solution inside the circuit
四．Shanghai Leiditech recommends a medical monitoring host protection scheme
The above parameters are for reference only. The specific model selection may vary depending on the number of functions, power size, and selection. If you need assistance, you can call Leiditech EMC to help you choose.
Of course, what if the medical monitoring host does not adopt such strict protection and the host screen freezes? The EMC guy shares the following case.
