A patient monitor includes a plurality of monitoring devices which collect data about a patient. An evaluation unit determines the patient's condition from the collected data and generates an alarm if the patient's condition warrants notifying an appropriate medical responder. A communication unit which transmits the alarm to a access point over a hospital Internet protocol (IP) network, the communication device includes a first transmitter for transmitting the alarm using a primary link and a second transmitter for transmitting the alarm using a secondary link in response to the transmission using the primary link failing.

A method and apparatus for performing patient monitoring which interfaces a telemetry monitor with a standard portable computer (such as a laptop computer, palmtop computer or personal digital assistant) with the display and the keyboard or other device of the portable computer being utilized to provide both display and input capability to the telemetry monitor. The telemetry monitor is provided with an I/O port which is interfaceable with an I/O port of the portable computer to permit operation as indicated above. Inputs from the user may also be passed through the interface ports and the transmitter of the telemetry monitor to a central station. A back channel may optionally be provided to permit information from the central station to be applied either to control the telemetry monitor or to be passed through the interface ports to the portable processor to provide information to a user.

A modular housing assembly is provided for two incompatible circuits, for example an RF circuit and a digital circuit, mounted on the same printed circuit board. The housing assembly has a base member and a cover member which are meshed to form two double walled compartments separated by a double conducting wall. The circuit board has at least one bridge physically and electrically connecting the two cicuits on the board which bridges pass through corresponding channels in the separating wall and each contain a matrix of plated through holes which operate to extend the wall through the bridge. Interconnecting wiring is woven through the holes to pass desired signals. Filters are provided between the interconnecting wiring and each circuit to eliminate conductive interference. Conductive gaskets are provided at all junctions of the separating wall with a housing member or with a circuit board to further reduce radiation leakage between the circuits.

A flexible patient monitoring system which interfaces a telemetry subsystem with a network by way of a telemetry transmission receiving system and a network controller. The telemetry subsystem includes one or more monitoring instruments, a multiport transmitter, a telemetry subsystem interface, a backchannel receiver module, and a telemetry docking station. The flexible patient monitoring system may be operated to implement network-based, system-originated control of one or more of the patient monitoring functions performed in the system. A particular function that is subject to dynamic control is the transmission of a telemetry signal.

A flexible patient monitoring system which interfaces a telemetry subsystem with a network by way of a telemetry transmission receiving system and a network controller. The telemetry subsystem includes one or more monitoring instruments, a multiport transmitter, a telemetry subsystem interface, a backchannel receiver module, and a telemetry docking station. The flexible patient monitoring system may be configured to operate in at least four modes: ambulatory telemetry mode, wherein the multiport transmitter is operated independently of other monitoring instruments and is powered by an internal power source; docked telemetry mode, wherein the multiport transmitter is connected to the telemetry docking station for transfer of data and power; simple instrument telemetry mode, wherein the multiport transmitter and a primary monitoring instrument or an auxiliary monitoring instrument are connected together for transfer of data; and docked instrument telemetry mode, wherein the multiport transmitter and a primary monitoring instrument or an auxiliary monitoring instrument are attached to the telemetry docking station for transfer of data (and optionally for transfer of power to the multiport transmitter). Wireless communications between the telemetry subsystem and various nodes on the network are thus enabled. Information may be provided to and from the telemetry subsystem interface via the multiport transmitter.

A flexible patient monitoring system which interfaces a telemetry subsystem with a communications network by way of a telemetry transmission receiving system and a network controller. The telemetry subsystem includes one or more monitoring instruments, a multiport transmitter, a telemetry subsystem interface, a backchannel receiver module, and a telemetry docking station. Wireless communications between the telemetry subsystem and various nodes on the network are thus enabled. A backchannel communications link on a paging-based communications channel is provided to permit information to be transmitted from a node on the communications network to the multiport transmitter.
