Advantage
Allows patient movement without tethering the patient to a bedside
monitor with a hard-wired connection.
Electromagnetic spectrum.
Composed of alternating electric and magnetic fields travelling through
space.
What differentiates different types of electromagnetic energy is the
wavelength of the fields.
Wavelengths can vary dramatically, as can their effects. Eg-
X-ray and gamma ray energy have wavelengths (10-10 – 10-14m) s
Problems Involved-
Advantage of ISM
Increased bandwidth, making voice and video transmissions possible.
1) High Definition
Implantable Loop
Recorder (HD-ILR)
2) The Personal Diagnostic
Manager
3) Base Station
4) A Monitoring Center
Sleuth™ Wireless Electrocardiogram
Monitoring System
•It is small and thin device ( size nearly to that of the smallest
pacemakers).
•The HD-ILR is implanted under the skin.
Working
The Personal Diagnostic Manager is a hand-held, multipurpose
device that automatically retrieves and stores relevant ECG data
from the HD-ILR, securely relays the information to the monitoring
center
Data are collected in two ways:
– Patients who feel faint can press a symptom button which tells
the system to store the patient’s ECG strip during the time of the
fainting spell.
–The system automatically captures and stores the ECG strip
when the patient’s heart rate is above or below physician
programmed limits.
