Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- activating a medical data interchange device in response to an event, wherein the medical data interchange device is at least partially enclosed within a closable container, and the event includes receiving a signal from a sensor detecting that the container has been actuated from a closed position to an open position;
receiving data through a wired connection from a medical device by the medical data interchange device, wherein the data comprises at least one of patient data, a device identifier and a patient identifier;
broadcasting, by the medical data interchange device, an authorization code stored in the medical data interchange device in response to a request for authorization;
authenticating, by the medical device, the medical data interchange device by determining that the broadcast authorization code matches a code stored by the medical device;
automatically detecting, based on a voltage of a signal from the medical device, a communication protocol used by the medical device;
automatically configuring a medical device interface of a plurality of medical device interfaces to communicate with the medical device using the detected communication protocol, wherein each medical device interface is configured to receive patient data via a wired connection from one or more of a plurality of different medical devices;
transmitting the data to a second device by the medical data interchange device; and
transmitting the data from the second device to a medical data server.

Abstract
A method according to an aspect of the present invention includes activating a first device in response to an event, receiving data through a wired connection from a medical device by the first device, transmitting the data to a second device by the first device, and transmitting the data from the second device to a medical data server. This method may be practiced automatically, either continuously or at set intervals, or may be initiated by someone utilizing the system. This method allows the first device to be activated only as necessary to communicate with the medical device in order to conserve battery life.
