Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for monitoring a pressure exerted on a tissue site are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a pressure switch adapted for placement adjacent the tissue site. The pressure switch includes an antenna operable to receive a first signal, a diode disposed adjacent the antenna, and a membrane covering the antenna and the diode. The membrane is movable from an unpressed position to a pressed position when a force is exerted on the membrane to cause electrical communication between the antenna and the diode. The antenna is operable to send a second signal when the membrane is in the pressed position. The apparatus may also include a transmitter operable to emit the first signal to the antenna. The transmitter may output an alert when the transmitter receives the second signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in a patient includes a computer based device, a device disposed on a predetermined position on a calf of the patient for measuring blood volume, another device for measuring temperature of the calf and still another device for measuring calf size. A cuff is operably connected to the computer based device and envelops a portion of a thigh of the patient and is controllably restrictable by the computer based device to produce a controlled venous occlusion of the patient's deep veins for a predetermined period. A method for detecting DVT using the device is also provided.
