MEASUREMENT RING AND MONITORING

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a measurement ring for positioning at an orifice of a patient. The measurement ring comprises a hollow channel, an annular lip, at least one sensor and a communication unit. The annular lip is located at a first extremity of the hollow channel. The annular lip and hollow channel form an insertion channel for inserting at least one instrument in the orifice of the patient. The at least one sensor measures at least one parameter related to insertion of the instrument in the insertion channel and generate insertion data. The communication module transmits the insertion data to a monitoring apparatus.

1. A monitoring apparatus for monitoring insertion of at least one instrument in a patient, the monitoring apparatus comprising:
a measurement ring for positioning at an orifice of the patient, the measurement ring comprising:
a hollow channel;an annular lip at a first extremity of the hollow channel, the annular lip and hollow channel forming an insertion channel for inserting the at least one instrument in the orifice of the patient;at least one sensor for measuring at least one parameter related to insertion of the instrument in the insertion channel and generating insertion data based on the at least one measured parameter, the at least one measured parameter comprising at least one of a position of the instrument in the insertion channel and a movement of the instrument in the insertion channel; anda communication module for transmitting the insertion data to a communication unit of the monitoring apparatus; the communication unit for receiving the insertion data transmitted by the communication module of the measurement ring; and a monitoring engine for comparing the received insertion data with ranges of acceptable measurements, the received insertion data being representative of at least one of the position of the instrument in the insertion channel and the movement of the instrument in the insertion channel.
