1. A monitoring apparatus, comprising:
- a receiver unit comprising a processor, a memory and an alarm system having stored alarm settings, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the receiver to receive a first medical data of a patient and a second medical data of a patient, causes the alarm system to output a first alert signal corresponding to a first medical condition based on the first medical data and the stored alarm settings, causes the alarm system to output a second alert signal corresponding to a second medical condition based on the second medical data and the stored alarm settings, wherein the first alert signal comprises a first tone and a unique identifier associated with the patient and the second alert signal comprises a second tone and the unique identifier associated with the patient, and allows an authorized user to modify the stored alarm settings, the loudness of the first alert signal and the second alert signal, and the tone of the first alert signal and the second alert signal; and
a docking unit comprising an amplifier for amplifying the first alert signal and the second alert signal when the receiver unit is connected to the docking unit, and a docking unit speaker for outputting the first tone of the first alert signal and the second tone of the second alert signal.
