    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for measuring exercise condition, especially a method for measuring an exertion endurance indicator representing exercise condition of a subject to be measured, such as maximal oxygen uptake or any such exertion endurance indicator representing exercise condition. The method is characterized in that, in the method a predetermined calculation formula is used preferably by means of a neural network, to which formula physiological parameters representing the subject to be measured are supplied. The input parameters comprise at least one or more of the following physiological parameters, such as sex, age, height, weight. One or more output parameters representing the exertion endurance indicator representing the exercise condition of the subject to be measured are obtained as a result from the calculation formula. In addition to the physiological parameters, one or more resting heartbeat parameters measured specifically from resting heartbeat are used as input parameters of the calculation formula. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the calculation formula is formed by means of a neural network construction.

    Abstract: A sensor probe operable to transmit light of a first wavelength for scattering by a tissue sample is described for use with a pulse oximeter (310, 410) designed to operate with another type of sensor probe (302, 402) which transmits light of a second wavelength. The sensor probe (302, 402) includes at least one source of light (306, 308; 406, 408) for transmitting light of the first wavelength for scattering and/or absorption by the tissue sample. At least one detector (314, 414) is included for detecting light of the first wavelength affected by the tissue sample and generating a signal in response thereto. An encoder (420) in the sensor probe (402) transforms the signal to a form which may be employed by the oximeter.

    Abstract: A single use protective barrier medical accessory (1) serves to isolate a sphygmomanometer cuff (12) from a patient whose blood pressure is to be taken in order to prevent contamination of the cuff (12) by the patient's body fluids, such as blood. The medical accessory (1) constitutes an open ended tubular sleeve (1), fabricated from a readily foldable, fluid impervious material. Each open end is provided with an elastic band (3, 4) to snugly close around the patient's arm. In use, the tubular sleeve (1) is introduced over a patient's arm. Then an upper portion (5) of the sleeve is folded over to completely cover the sphygmomanometer cuff (12) while permitting admission of a tube (14) coupled to a bulb for pressurizing the cuff (12). After the patient's blood pressure has been taken, the upper portion (5) is unfolded, the cuff (12) is removed and the sleeve (1) disposed of, preferably according to established procedures. In one preferred embodiment, the upper portion (5) of the sleeve (1) includes a window (6) through which a gauge (13) attached to the cuff (12) may be read.

    Abstract: A guide catheter (10) is disclosed in which a sensing element (20), for example a pressure sensor (20), is provided in a wall (12) of the guide catheter (10), preferably at the distal end (14) of the catheter (10). In this way, measurements, e.g., of blood pressure can be taken from the interior of the patient while interventional procedures are being carried out, and without the loss of accuracy and damping associated with conventional systems which measure pressure pulses which have been transmitted to the proximal end of the guide catheter (10) through fluid in the guide catheter. The provision of the sensing element (20) in the wall (12) of the guide catheter (10) itself also avoids the need to use a separate interactive catheter for this measurement.

    Abstract: A system and method for sensing and providing an indication of one or more diabetes-related blood constituents of a patient, the system being based upon an ECG sensor (33, 40) which processes patient ECG signals, either surface, or intracardiac or epicardial, for determining a measure of a blood constituent such as insulin or glucose, or both insulin and glucose. The system has processing capability for correlating selected parameters of the ECG signal with patient blood insulin or blood glucose, to provide the insulin or glucose level. Additionally, the system is provided with input capability (43) for enabling the patient to input data such as the time of meal intake, which is representative of glucose intake, which data is incorporated in making a determination of patient insulin need. The system can be in a first external wearable embodiment, or in a second implantable embodiment which utilizes a pacing-type lead for picking up intracardiac or epicardial signals. In either the wearable or implantable embodiment, the output response may be simply an indication of patient insulin and/or glucose need provided by an external display (28, 44), and may also include automatic control (34, 35; 46, 47) of insulin injection to the patient.
