Abstract:
A device ( 1 ) for processing and transmitting measured signals which correspond to implant parameters or biological parameters for monitoring and/or controlling medical implants, diagnostic devices or biological processes including: a biocompatible sterilizable covering ( 9 ); an electronic signal processing device ( 2 ) electrically connectable to at least one sensor ( 5 ) for processing measured signals received from the at least one sensor; a data memory ( 16 ) electrically connected to said signal processing device for storing data received from said signal processing device; and a data transmission device ( 4 ) electrically connected to said data memory for transmitting data received from said data memory to a remote data receiving device ( 6 ) which is connectable to an external data processing device ( 8 ). The signal processing device calculates statistically relevant data obtained from the measured signals, reducing the volume of stored data. Methods for monitoring or controlling bone healing or bone distraction implants are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for monitoring and/or controlling bone healing in osteosynthesis and for processing and transmitting measured signals which correspond to implant parameters, the system comprising:\n a bone plate or an intramedullary nail; at least one sensor configured to measure strain in the bone plate or intramedullary nail; an electronic signal processing device arranged in a biocompatible sterilizable covering and electrically connected to the at least one sensor, said electronic signal processing device being configured to process measured strain signals received from said at least one sensor; a data memory arranged in said covering and electrically connected to said signal processing device, said data memory being configured to store data received from said signal processing device; and a data transmission device arranged in said covering and electrically connected to said data memory, said data transmission device being configured to transmit data stored in said data memory to a remote data receiving device which is connectable to an external data processing device; wherein the electronic signal processing device comprises an electronic data processing unit, wherein said electronic data processing unit comprises a counter unit configured to supply a count of processed signal samples to the data memory, and an integrator, and wherein said signal processing device is programmed to calculate statistically relevant data obtained from said measured strain signals and thereby reduce a volume of said data stored in the data memory.
