Modular patient monitor
First Claim
1. A modular patient monitor comprising:
- a docking station having standalone patient monitoring functionality with respect to a first set of parameters, at least a portion of the first set of parameters being displayed simultaneously on a full-sized display integrated with the docking station;
a handheld monitor having standalone patient monitoring functionality with respect to a second set of parameters, at least a portion of the second set of parameters being displayed simultaneously on a handheld-sized display integrated with the handheld monitor, the second set of parameters permitted to partially overlap with the first set of parameters; and
a handheld port on the docking station configured to accept the handheld monitor, the docking station functionally combining the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters whenever the handheld monitor is docked in the handheld port, and at least a portion of the combined first and second sets of parameters being displayed simultaneously on the full-sized screen.

Abstract
A modular patient monitor has a docking station configured to accept a handheld monitor. The docking station has standalone patient monitoring functionality with respect to a first set of parameters. At least some of the first parameter set are displayed simultaneously on a full-sized screen integrated with the docking station. The handheld monitor also has standalone patient monitoring functionality with respect to a second set of parameters. At least some of the second set of parameters are displayed simultaneously on a handheld-sized screen integrated with the handheld monitor. The docking station has a port configured to accept the handheld monitor. While the handheld monitor is docket in the port, the docking station functionally combines the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters, and at least some of the combined first and second sets of parameters are displayed simultaneously on the full-sized screen.
