ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for monitoring and digitally displaying primate heart rate and systolic blood pressure product information. The apparatus has a microprocessor programmed to respond to signals relating to heart rate and systolic blood pressure and provide a digital output of the current product information and a two minute average of the product information. Separate LED displays are used to present the current and two minute average product information. An audible alarm operates to alert the personnel caring for the patient in the event that the pulse rate and blood pressure product exceeds a selected level. Operator controls are operable to read the input values, silence the alarm, read the external preset trip point, read the internal power supply and reference voltages, and verify the operations of all segments of all digits.
