Aribbon cable 163 includesplugs terminals 166 and another set ofterminals 172 in thehousing bottom portion 112.Terminals 172 includeprobes 174 of the same general configuration and mounting asprobes 70 for a purpose which will be described later.Housing 110 also includes adrawer 176 which can be withdrawn from either side ofhousing 110.Stops 178 provided in thebottom wall 180 ofhousing bottom portion 112 prevent thedrawer 176 from being accidentally disengaged fromhousing 110, regardless of from which side ofhousing 110drawer 176 is withdrawn.Drawer 176 also includes spring 182-urgedlatches 184 which reside inwells 186 provided forlatches 184 in bothhandles 188 ofdrawer 176. Theselatches 184 cooperate withstops 190 provided onhousing top portion 116 to prevent thedrawer 176 from accidentally coming open, for example, whileaccessory box 110 is being transported from station (for example, patient, nurses' station or the like) to station.Housing 110 components illustratively are also molded from filled or unfilled resins, such as, for example, an ABS-polycarbonate composite.Drawer 176 illustratively may be formed from a transparent or semi-transparent material such as, for example, polycarbonate. - As previously noted, the
system 20 further includesbase 38.Base 38 includes athird port 40 for coupling to a complementarily configuredfourth port 42 on thecradle 30. Coupling of the third andfourth ports cradle 30 directly onbase 38, in which case probes 70 contactrespective terminals 192 provided and positioned for this purpose on thetop surface 194 ofbase 38. This permits downloading of data collected frominstruments 22 by thecradle 30 through thebase 38. Coupling of the third andfourth ports accessory box 110 whencradle 30 is positioned on anaccessory box 110. In this case, the electrical connection is throughprobes 70,terminals 166, plug 168,ribbon cable 163, plug 170,terminals 172 andprobes 174 torespective terminals 192 inbase 38. Therecess 195 in thetop surface 194 ofbase 38 is configured to accept eithercradle 30 oraccessory box 110. Again, coupling of the third andfourth ports batteries 44 used topower circuitry 45 in thecradle 30 through thebase 38. The use ofrechargeable batteries 44 reduces the requirement to change batteries. The illustratedbase 38 further includes afifth port 46 for coupling to aport 48 oncomputer 26 to permit the downloading of data through the base 38 to thecomputer 26 for storage, analysis and report generation. The bottom portion ofbase 38 illustratively is constructed from stamped metal and the top portion ofbase 38 illustratively is molded from filled or unfilled resins, such as, for example, an ABS-polycarbonate composite. - The illustrated
system 20 is thus modular. The health care worker is afforded the flexibility to decide how much of thesystem 20 to transport to any given patient care site. For example, the worker may elect in certain instances to take only theinstrument 22 itself, with entry of data and patient identification being left to be performed, for example, in part by entry throughtouch screen 33 or key pad, at some site remote from the patient's location, for example, at a nurses' station on a ward in a hospital. Or, for example, the worker may elect to take aninstrument 22 and thecradle 30 to a patient care site, or use thecradle 30 with aninstrument 22 already at a patient care site. Optionally, the worker may elect to take aninstrument 22,cradle 30, and anaccessory box 110 to a patient care site.
