ABSTRACT:
A medical monitor, such as a fetal monitor, is provided with a code reader, e.g. a bar code reader. A manual contains clear text instructions as well as predefined codes in their correct sequential form. The instructions help the unskilled user to operate the monitor, and the actual monitor functions are triggered by scanning the codes, instead of pushing buttons, turning knobs etc. A questionnaire may also be provided to enter answers to anamnesis data. These answers, together with vital signs data, may be transmitted via telephone lines to a hospital, which makes the medical monitor ideally suited for home monitoring applications.
