Abstract

An ambulatory data recorder having a selectable device control interface. The selectable device control interface permitting a selection to be made between a first device control interface, in which the full device control set is accessible, and a second control interface, in which only a partial amount of the device control set is accessible. Typically the first control interface is intended for use by physicians and the second control interface is intended for use by patients. The selectable device control interface is provided by a combination of device controls and a moveable device cover. The cover moveable from a first opened position in which the full device control set is accessible and a second closed position in which only a partial amount of the device control set is accessible. Preferably the cover permits operation of at least one of the device controls regardless of its position. The cover further, however, preferably masks the labels on the at least one of the device controls to simplify operation by the patient. Moreover, the cover is further preferably mounted on a breakaway hinge and is moveable into the opened position only through a tool.
