Abstract
The design engineer’s challenge in medical electronics field is to create an instrument that utilizes state-of-the-art technology and also allows the non-technical user to efficiently interface with the instrument. The biomedical instrument must accurately monitor, calculate and alarm on patients’ physiological parameters. These parameters should be displayed in a clear, concise manner.1
