Patent ID: 7942817

Claim:
A medical signal interface device for bidirectionally conveying signals between a patient and patient monitoring and treatment devices, comprising: a bidirectional electrical signal interface for, receiving and buffering patient parameter monitoring signals received from a patient via patient attached leads and concurrently outputting treatment related signals used in applying invasive or non-invasive treatment to a patient and providing electrical isolation of said patient parameter monitoring signals received from said patient via patient attached leads from treatment related signals used in applying invasive or non-invasive treatment output to a patient; a bidirectional electrical signal processor, responsive to commands received from a control processor and coupled to said electrical signal interface, for processing received patient parameter monitoring signals using filtering and amplification to provide processed patient monitoring signals for output to at least one patient monitoring device and for processing the treatment related signals for output by buffering the treatment related signals for output to a patient; and a control processor for providing data representing the commands in response to at least one of, (a) predetermined configuration data and (b) deriving data representing the commands from data entered by a user via a displayed user interface image.
