Abstract:
1. A multipurpose host system for invasive cardiovascular diagnostic measurement acquisition and display, the system comprising: an external input signal bus interface for receiving data arising from one or more cardiovascular diagnostic measurement sensors attached to a flexible elongate member positioned within a vessel, the data being representative of at least one of pressure within the vessel and flow within the vessel; a plurality of measurement processing components for receiving data from the one or more cardiovascular diagnostic measurement sensors attached to the flexible elongate member and rendering diagnostic measurement parameter values of at least one of the pressure within the vessel and the flow within the vessel according to the received data; and a multi-mode graphical user interface host comprising a set of diagnostic measurement user interfaces including display components corresponding to data output rendered by specified ones of the plurality of measurement processing components, the user interface simultaneously displaying a plurality of buttons associated with actions of the one or more cardiovascular diagnostic measurement sensors attached to the flexible elongate member; wherein the user interface provides recommended action prompts automatically based on the data received from the one or more cardiovascular diagnostic measurement sensors attached to the flexible elongate member, the recommended action prompts providing visual indicators that guide a user through a series of actions by visually accentuating, in series, the plurality of buttons of the user interface associated with the actions of the one or more cardiovascular diagnostic measurement sensors attached to the flexible elongate member such that actuation of each of the plurality of buttons of the user interface results in the associated action of the one or more cardiovascular measurement sensors being executed; wherein the multipurpose host system determines a sensor type for each of the one or more cardiovascular diagnostic measurement sensors connected to the multipurpose host system, wherein the simultaneously displayed plurality of buttons associated with the actions of the one or more cardiovascular diagnostic measurement sensors are based on the sensor type for each of the one or more cardiovascular diagnostic measurement sensors.
