First Claim
1. A nerve integrity monitoring system comprising:
- a console interface module;
nerve integrity monitoring device comprising;
a first control module configured to generate a payload request, wherein the payload request (i) requests a data payload from a sensor in a wireless nerve integrity monitoring network, and (ii) indicates whether a stimulation probe device is to generate a stimulation pulse; and
a first physical layer module configured to(i) wirelessly transmit the payload request to the sensor and the stimulation probe device, or (ii) transmit the payload request to the console interface module, andin response to the payload request, (i) receive the data payload from the sensor or the console interface module, and (ii) receive stimulation pulse information from the stimulation probe device or the console interface module, wherein the data payload includes data corresponding to an evoked response of a patient, and wherein the evoked response is generated based on the stimulation pulse;
wherein the console interface module comprises;
a second control module configured to generate a synchronization request including information in the payload request, wherein the synchronization request (i) requests the data payload from the sensor, and (ii) indicates whether the stimulation probe device is to generate the stimulation pulse; and
a second physical layer module configured towirelessly transmit the synchronization request to the sensor and the stimulation probe device, andin response to the synchronization request, (i) wirelessly receive the data payload from the sensor, and (ii) wirelessly receive the stimulation pulse information from the stimulation probe device.

Abstract
A nerve integrity monitoring device includes a control module and a physical layer module. The control module is configured to generate a payload request. The payload request (i) requests a data payload from a sensor in a wireless nerve integrity monitoring network, and (ii) indicates whether a stimulation probe device is to generate a stimulation pulse. The physical layer module is configured to (i) wirelessly transmit the payload request to the sensor and the stimulation probe device, or (ii) transmit the payload request to a console interface module. The physical layer module is also configured to, in response to the payload request, (i) receive the data payload from the sensor, and (ii) receive stimulation pulse information from the stimulation probe device. The data payload includes data corresponding to an evoked response of a patient. The evoked response is generated based on the stimulation pulse.
