System and method for monitoring communication
First Claim
1. A communication system comprising:
- a base device comprising a transmitting and receiving unit;
at least one device remote from the base device that is in wireless communication with the base device, wherein one of the at least one device comprises a medical or pharmaceutical device, and wherein the base device registers and controls the function of the medical or pharmaceutical device related to the administration of a medicinal fluid from the medical or pharmaceutical device in response to signals received from one or more of the at least one device; and
a warning device provided in at least one of the base device and medical or pharmaceutical device, wherein the warning device comprises an optical or acoustic alarm, and wherein the warning device indicates an existing or imminent interruption or disturbance of the wireless communication between the base device and one or more of the at least one device by activation of the optical or acoustic alarm.
