Abstract
Abstract A strip chart recorder and method for recording trend signals representative of a physiological condition on a strip chart responsive to the occurrence of an alarm condition. Trend signals representative of said physiological condition in the past are stored. Upon the occurrence of the alarm condition, the stored trend signals are recorded at a faster than real time rate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A strip chart recorder responsive to the occurrence of an alarm condition for recording first and second trend signals representative of a physiological condition on one strip chart comprising: recording means operable for recording the first and second trend signals on the strip chart at different rates in response to first and second rate signals, respectively; storing means for storing said first trend signal representative of said physiological condition in the past; and controlling means operable for controlling the storing means so as to provide the stored first trend signal to the recording means in response to the occurrence of an alarm condition and for providing the first rate signal, the second rate signal and the second trend signal to the recording means; said second trend signal representative of the physiological condition at points in time subsequent to those represented by the first trend signal and being provided to the recording means after recordation of the first trend signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A strip chart recorder responsive to the occurrence of an alarm condition for recording first and second trend signals representative of a physiological condition on one strip chart comprising: recording means operable for recording the first and second trend signals on the strip chart at different rates in response to first and second rate signals, respectively; storing means for storing said first trend signal representative of said physiological condition in the past; and controlling means operable for controlling the storing means so as to provide the stored first trend signal to the recording means in response to the occurrence of an alarm condition and for providing the first rate signal, the second rate signal and the second trend signal to the recording means; said second trend signal representative of the physiological condition at points in time subsequent to those represented by the first trend signal and being provided to the recording means after recordation of the first trend signal.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
91 words
A method of recording first and second trend signals representative of a physiological condition on one strip chart upon the occurrence of an alarm condition comprising the steps of: storing the first trend signal representative of said physiological condition in the past; responding to the occurrence of the alarm condition to record the stored first trend signal at a first rate; and thereafter recording at a second rate the second trend signal representative of the physiological condition at points in time subsequent to those represented by the stored first trend signals.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
91 words
A method of recording first and second trend signals representative of a physiological condition on one strip chart upon the occurrence of an alarm condition comprising the steps of: storing the first trend signal representative of said physiological condition in the past; responding to the occurrence of the alarm condition to record the stored first trend signal at a first rate; and thereafter recording at a second rate the second trend signal representative of the physiological condition at points in time subsequent to those represented by the stored first trend signals.
