CLAIM

1. The ornamental design for a portable patient monitor, as shown and described.

Description:

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of the first embodiment of the portable patient monitor showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a front elevation view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a left side elevation view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a right side elevation view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a top plan view thereof; and

FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view thereof; and,

FIG. 9 is a front perspective view of a second embodiment of the portable monitor.

Where utilized, phantom lining is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit or form any part of the claimed design.

The broken line showing of the user controls, cable connectors, speaker grill and access panel are included for the purpose of illustration and forms no part of the claimed design.
