Abstract
A patient monitoring apparatus includes at least one transducer for a patient, a transmission device for the patient and a reception device which is remote therefrom and to which an evaluation unit is connected. The transmission and reception devices each have at least one memory. The memory in the transmission unit stores an explicit or unique unalterable identification code. The reception unit has a keypad which can be used to input an identification code into its memory. A radio link between the transmission and reception units is set up only if the two stored identification codes are identical. If the radio link is interrupted for a prescribed period, the identification code in the reception unit is automatically erased, and a connection can be set up again only after the appropriate identification code has been input on the reception unit again. The radio link operates on the basis of the Bluetooth protocol.
