US 10,095,649 B2 · Medical device connectivity interface system and method

Abstract

A system includes a medical monitor having a sensor input responsive to a sensor signal representative of a physiological parameter; a processor that may calculate the physiological parameter from the sensor signal; an output port in communication with the processor to output medical data comprising the calculated physiological parameter in a first communication protocol; a removable interface having an input port receptive of the medical data in the first communication protocol; a memory storing code that may translate the medical data into a second communication protocol; and a first output port that may transmit the medical data in the second communication protocol to an external system that recognizes the second communication protocol and not the first communication protocol.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising;

using a removable interface to:
receive a first input via a first communication mechanism, wherein the first input is representative of a first medical device measurement generated from a first medical device system programmed in a first communication protocol;
translate the first communication protocol to a second communication protocol to generate a translated medical device measurement;
generate an output representative of the translated medical device measurement;
transmit the output via a second communication mechanism to an external system programmed in the second communication protocol;
receive a second input associated with a second medical device measurement from a second medical device system programmed in the second communication protocol;
and
synchronize the first and second inputs to generate a data set representative of a patient's condition.
