25. A portable physiological parameter monitoring device that stores and displays measured physiological parameters for each of a plurality of patients and a plurality of probes each coupled with one of the patients to measure physiological parameters of the coupled patient, each probe including a wireless communication transmitter and one or more physical parameter measuring devices, which can be carried by an operator from patient to patient, the portable physiological monitoring device, comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving measured physiological parameters from a proximate one of the probes with which wireless communications have been temporally established; and a display on which a human readable representation of the measured physiological parameters is displayed. - View Dependent Claims (26)
