Wireless system protocol for telemetry monitoring
First Claim
1. In a wireless system for medical monitoring having a base unit and a least one wireless sensor for connection to a patient'"'"'s body, the improvement comprising:
- providing said wireless sensor with a transceiver assembly for transmitting and receiving wireless communications with said base unit, the transceiver assembly releasably connectable with an electrode adapted for attachment to the patient'"'"'s body;
providing the base unit with a wireless transceiver for transmitting and receiving wireless communications with said sensors, said wireless communications including said commands, and providing a set of instructions executable in said base unit wherein said base unit may issue said commands to said transceiver assembly in response to the execution of said instructions, said transceiver assembly responding to said commands in accordance with instructions stored in said transceiver, wherein said commands from said base unit and responses to said commands from said transceiver assembly allow said base unit to remotely manage and configure said transceiver assembly in real time either prior to or during a period of time in which said transceiver assembly is acquiring physiologic signals from said patient and transmitting data corresponding to said physiologic signals to said base unit.

Abstract
A wireless, programmable system for medical monitoring includes a base unit and a plurality of individual wireless, remotely programmable biosensor transceivers. The base unit manages the transceivers by issuing registration, configuration, data acquisition, and transmission commands using wireless techniques. Physiologic data from the wireless transceivers is demultiplexed and supplied via a standard interface to a conventional monitor for display. Initialization, configuration, registration, and management routines for the wireless transceivers and the base unit are also described.
