System and method for using multiple medical monitors
First Claim
1. A configuration system for use with a plurality of patient monitors communicating with a central station, each patient monitor transmitting data from a given patient to the central station to be displayed on a display, the configuration system comprising a program that when executed by a computer causes the computer to:
- detect a presence of a patient monitor that is unconfigured;
display a prompt to a user indicating the presence of the unconfigured patient monitor;
accept from the user, a command linking data of the patient monitor to a portion of the display; and
configure the patient monitor and central station to automatically display the data in the portion of the display.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for simultaneously using and configuring one or more disposable transmitters. The system includes at least one single or multiple use disposable transmitter, a central station, and a receiver module. The transmitter is connected to a patient to gather and measure biomedical information. The transmitter transmits the biomedical information through the receiver module to the central station for processing, storage and display. Prior to use, each transmitter must be configured to work with the central station and the receiver module. This allows the users to configure the disposable transmitters relatively quickly and easily without needing advanced technical information. The inventive configuration also enables the operator to map a location on a monitor in the central station to a specific disposable transmitter and ultimately to a specific patient or location in the coverage area that is covered by the system.

12. A computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program comprising instructions that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to:
-
detect a patient monitor that is not configured to communicate with a central station; display a prompt on a display requesting user-desired display parameters for displaying information received from the patient monitor at the central station; automatically configure the patient monitor according to user-desired display parameters; and prompt the user to mark the patient monitor with a patient identifier prior to associating the patient monitor with a patient. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
