Abstract:
An ambulatory recorder, comprising:a sensor for sensing at least one physiologic parameter from a patient;a first real-time processor to perform at least a first process on the at least one physiologic parameter and create a first data set, the first processor further comprising a first volatile buffer memory being suitable to store the first data set, the first volatile buffer memory having a memory limit;a second non-real time processor to perform at least a second process on the first data set to yield a second data set, the first processor being coupled to the second processor so that the first data set may be transferred to the second processor from the first processor;a second non-volatile memory coupled to the second processor, the second memory being suitable for storing the second data set; andmeans for managing the amount of data stored in the first volatile buffer memory so that the first volatile buffer memory limit cannot be reached.
