Automated Data Collection System for the TCM3 Transcutaneous po2/pCO2 Monitoring System

Abstract

The Hyperbaric Medicine Division of the Armstrong Laboratory (AL/ AOHP) routinely uses the TCM3 Transcutaneous system for monitoring of patients and during research protocols. The monitor is used to measure the amount of oxygen/carbon dioxide at the skin surface. Up to 3 monitors may be utilized, and all data must be written down by hand at some interval. This method requires an individual to be watching the monitors at all times. If any further data analysis is to be performed, then the data must be entered into a computer by hand, or the manipulations are performed on paper. The purpose of this technical paper is to describe a data acquisition system designed to automate the collection and analysis of information processed by the TCM3 transcutaneous monitor. The hardware portion of the system is designed around a Macintosh II computer, and the software was written using LabVIEW 2.... Data acquisition, LabVIEW, Medical monitors.
