1. A communications adapter configured to wirelessly communicate a first signal from a patient site to a remote site and to adapt the first signal to a particular patient monitor at the remote site, the communications adapter comprising:

  • a first processor configured to generate said first signal responsive to a sensor signal received from a noninvasive sensor attached to a tissue portion of a patient, wherein said sensor signal is indicative of at least one physiological parameter of a patient;

    a communications link configured to wirelessly transmit the first signal from a first site proximate the patient and to receive the first signal at a second site; and

    a second processor that adapts the first signal to a usually incompatible particular patient monitor at the second site so that the particular patient monitor derives physiological measurements from the adapted first signal that are generally equivalent to measurements derivable from the first signal by a monitor compatible with the noninvasive sensor.
