1. A universal interface for an IMD data management to enable physiologic data transfer from the IMD to hospital systems via various built-in monitoring equipment, the universal interface comprising:
- a telemetry circuitry in communication with and configured to receive hemodynamic pressure data from the IMD;
means for calibration of the hemodynamic pressure data with ambient barometric pressure; and
means for transmitting the calibrated hemodynamic pressure data from the universal interface to an external hospital monitor in a data format compatible with the external hospital monitor.

Abstract
Medical device data is transferred using a universal adaptor between an implanted medical device and hospital monitoring systems. The universal adaptor is an interface compatible with various built-in hospital monitoring network comprised of equipment from a variety of manufacturers. The universal adaptor includes a telemetry circuitry, a calibration system for atmospheric pressure and an analog interface. The calibration system relates to barometric correction and includes an external pressure reference system.
