Radiofrequency adapter for medical monitoring equipment
First Claim
1. A radiofrequency adapter for medical monitoring equipment which includes:
- a controller adapted to be physically connected to a sensor; and
an integrator adapted to be physically connected to a medical monitor;
the controller being physically separated from the integrator;
wherein the controller provides;
a) signal conditioning end digitising means adapted to receive, condition and digitise signals received from the sensor;
b) a radiofrequency transmitter adapted to receive digitised signals from said signal conditioning and digitising means and transmit said signals to said integrator by means of a wireless radiofrequency link;
c) a battery power supply for said signal conditioning and digitising means and radiofrequency transmitter;
and wherein said integrator provides;
d) a radiofrequency receiver adapted to receive digital radiofrequency transmissions from said radiofrequency transmitter;
e) converting means for converting digital signals received by said receiver to analogue signals;
f) means for transmitting the analogue signals to a monitor physically connected to said integrator.

Abstract
A radiofrequency adapter for medical monitoring equipment which includes a controller which is physically connected to a sensor, and an integrator which is physically connected to a medical monitor; the controller and the integrator are physically separated; the controller provides signal receiving means which receive the signals generated by the sensor, signal conditioning and digitising means, and a radiofrequency transmitter connected to the conditioning and digitising means and arranged to transmit the digitised signals across a wireless radiofrequency link to a radiofrequency receiver incorporated in the integrator; the integrator also includes means for reconstructing the received digital signals back to an analogue signals and means for transmitting the reconstructed and an analogue signals to a monitor physically connected to the integrator.
