Interfacing fetal monitors in computerized cardiotocography system

Presents an approach to interfacing various types of commercially available fetal monitors to the KOMPOR System for computerized cardiotocography. Practical implementation of simple and universal interface circuits is described. Communications protocols with popular fetal monitors are discussed. The proposed interfaces and the method of automatic monitor identification have been verified in clinical practice. The circuits are also suitable for interfacing other patient connected equipment to computer-aided medical systems.<
