Patent References 3889255 Device for measuring pH and temperature of a liquid, which includes a memory Circuit and method for the radiotelemetry of esophageal pH in an ECG radiotelemetry system Medical-electronic body fluid accounting system Patent #: 4449538 InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 06/491455 filed on 05/04/1983US Classes:600/348, Determining ion concentration/partial pressure600/350Esophageal or gastrointestinal fluidsExaminersPrimary: Smith, JerryAssistant: Meyer, Charles B. Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesA61B 5/05 (20060101)G01N 27/28 (20060101) AbstractA portable circuit and method for performing a time study and analysis of bodily ionic characteristics as esophageal pH includes a transducer 11 for measuring pH and generating a proportional analog signal and an interface 12 for converting this signal into a representative digital signal including offset and gain controls 23,24 for permitting correction for transducer 11 calibration drift during the study period. A processor 14 receives and stores all digital signals for rapid transmission to a data analysis after the study period is ended. Esophageal pH values are measured and stored for a plurality of pre-study and post-study known conditions.Other References
