PORTABLE MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS

摘要

A medical diagnostic apparatus (10) including a housing (18), a sensor assembly (20) located within the housing and including a temperature sensing element (39), and at least one thermal seal (16, 17) compressed between the sensor assembly and the housing and separating the temperature sensing eleme nt from heat-generating internal components of the apparatus. A rigid printed circuit board (PCB) (12) and a rigid frame (14) are also positioned within t he housing and secured together with the housing to provide the apparatus with improved stiffness and torsional rigidity. A docking station (100) for use with the apparatus defines a pocket (104) having a convex projection (112) that mates with a concave depression (90) of the apparatus during docking, a nd the medical diagnostic apparatus includes at least one electrically conducti ve contact (92) that contacts an electrically conductive contact (114) of the docking station during docking.
