GENERAL OVERVIEW OF SYSTEM

The Medpage ST-2 is a monitor designed primarily to detect and raise an alarm from a sleeping person experiencing muscular convulsions such as an epileptic seizure or convulsions caused by hypoglycaemia in a diabetic person. The monitor can, in some cases detect a persons breathing and raise an alarm should breathing stop. The ST-2 monitor uses patented technology that provides dual detection functionality. Seizure monitoring and breathing monitoring. A sensor is placed under the users mattress, bed or cot. During sleep normal movements are ignored by the sensor. Prolonged irregular movements result in an alarm being generated by the monitor. For breathing detection, the sensor detects the minute movements created by breathing. If breaths become very slow or stop altogether, the monitor will generate an alarm. The breathing monitor can be disabled. In breathing monitoring mode, the monitor will also generate an alarm should the user leave their bed. Seizure activity is detected in either operating mode.

The alarm transmitter has many functions that are useful for patient care. In addition to providing alarm signals from the Medpage ST-2, the transmitter has a call button and a socket that allows connection of standard hospital type nurse call switch and some specialist easy operation switches for the physically disabled. The transmitter has built in tone alarms that can be set to produce a sound alarm when a bed seizure monitor has detected a seizure or cessation of breathing.

BREATHING MONITOR

The ST-2 can in some cases detect and monitor breathing. There is no set of parameters  to establish suitability of this feature with the user other than an actual test. Bed types, mattress types, the users weight and size are all contributing factors. For example, a three year old child sleeping in a double bed would be considered beyond sensible risk. Likewise, a child of three years or younger sleeping in a single sized bed with a memory foam mattress would be considered a risk. A child of three years sleeping in a cot (crib) with a normal cot mattress could use the breathing function. The breathing monitor will be suitable for most adults in most bed types. The minimum weight for a child for cot use is 14 lb’s. Seizure detection would still be possible in all examples
