Much ado about nothing!

Let's move on, pleeeeeeeaze.

SJLD	Let's focus here... 18:33 Feb 12, 2009 on the whole context. The equipment enables the operator (whoever that may be) to take certain MEASUREMENTS. The RESULTS or READINGS are then relayed to the medicos or emergency services.

SJLD	ECGs are also measurements 18:23 Feb 12, 2009 http://library.med.utah.edu/kw/ecg/ecg_outline/Lesson4/index... Spirometry is a measurement. Pulse oximetry (done with the saturomètre) is also a measurement.

SJLD	context in ref note below 18:16 Feb 12, 2009 I have found the source text which clears up a point or two.

You're right

18:11 Feb 12, 2009

What I mean is that "readings" covers it all. YEs, you can say "measuring devices", but what I'm trying to say that it's best to say "readings" here (includes "measurements" as well). You don't really measure an ekg, do you? You read one.

are not "measuring instruments/devices", but rather "reading instruments (blood pressure, ekg, etc). Kashew is right.

There should have been a ", to be" before "used diagnostically" above.

The equipment apparently collect and transmits data from other electronic medical equipment used diagnostically.

Yes, Matthew I think you are correct. Otherwise it sounds a bit like Scotty beaming the patients up to Starship Enterprise!

Hello. Shouldn't this read "réaliser des mesures sur les patients, tranmiSES en temps réel aux médecins..?"

Do you have any more info about what the eqpt actually does? It might help us to choose between "measure" and "test".

Notes to answerer

Asker: I think this is on the right track. There are insufficient medical staff in the area, so they are probably not taking CT scans. However,I still need to think it over.

Les réfractomètres les plus récents présentent généralement l’option « Keratomètrie », ce qui

cornéen). On parle alors de réfracto-keratomètre.
La fonction kératomètre est utilisé pour la prescription des lentilles de contact qui nécessite de
connaître la courbure cornéenne. Il est également utilisé pour déterminer la puissance
réfractrice des lentilles intraoculaires qu’il sera nécessaire d’implanter, et enfin pour identifier
le changement de forme de la cornée suite à une opération.
Il existe des réfracto-kératomètres portables (sur batterie) qui permettent d’effectuer des

Integration of medical systems and devices
May 21, 2008 — Gretchen

Much of medical technology has now become digital. Medical devices integrate through special languages and formats that are understood by a wide variety of machines allowing data to be transmitted and used by multiple medical departments or practices.

Before the digital era began, medical personnel would take a measurement on a medical device and display or print out the results. For example, x-ray machines provided a method for scanning a patient and producing the resulting image on film. The film would then have to find its way, usually by human hands, to a reviewing radiologist in order to be interpreted. With the evolution of technology, devices are becoming less dependent on humans and more on electronic transmission. That is to say, the results from medical imaging devices are stored electronically and require less dependability of human input to accomplish a task. In the case of the x-ray, digital images of x-rays are transmitted across computer networks, stored remotely, and displayed for medical personnel.

At the heart of the digital world is the computer network. Digital equipment within an office or small geographic area is connected with a local area network, or LAN. For organizations that are spread out geographically, a wide area network, or WAN, may be used to connect LANs. Computers, medical devices, and information systems communicate via the network.

There are a wide variety of devices used for diagnostic purposes. They take measurements and/or images and transmit them, via computer network, to medical information systems. Most people are familiar with the common types of medical devices, such as CT, MRI, digital x-ray machines (x-ray machines which no longer use film) and other imaging devices.

Hi.

It sure seems like "readings" to me from this link.

Télémédecine

"Ce projet permettra aux médecins urgentiste d’effectuer des mesures sur les patients (glycémie, auscultation, ecg,…) ; les résultats seront enregistrés sur le PDA et pourront être envoyés au central d’appel pour analyse et archivage, au médecin traitant, à l’hôpital qui va prendre en charge le patient,... Le principe du projet consiste à regrouper les principaux instruments du mesure pour une analyse plus simple et plus rapide. L’outil comprendra également des formulaires contenant les constantes du patient, le rapport du médecin itinérant,... ; informations qui pourront par la suite être ajoutées à son dossier médical."

This may help reach a decision about readings and measurements:

Ces mallettes, munies de capteurs, permettent d’effectuer et de transmettre en temps réel des mesures indispensables au diagnostic médical comme les mesures de pression sanguine, pouls, électrocardiogramme, permettant ainsi d’améliorer le suivi des patients et la prévention des secteurs de montagne.
La mallette portative permet de réaliser des diagnostics et de télétransmettre les données vers le SAMU ou les hôpitaux. Elle est composée d’un électrocardiogramme à 12 dérivations (ou bien d’une ceinture thoracique), d’un saturomètre et d’un spiromètre permettant de mesurer la pression sanguine et le pouls. L’évolutivité de la plate-forme permet d’ajouter la visiocommunication, ou encore d’autres capteurs permettant de détecter des crises d’asthme, le diabète…
