1. A multi-parametric patient monitoring device comprising:

  • a device housing that retains a portable power supply, a CPU, and a display for permitting the monitoring device to operate in a first stand-alone mode wherein a plurality of physiological sensors are attached to said device housing and in which parameter data received from said sensors is processed by said CPU within said device housing;

    a wireless transceiver enabling said monitoring device to operate in a second mode in which patient-related data is transmitted to a remote station and in which said monitoring device is further configured to be separately operated in a separate charging mode wherein said device can still operate simultaneously in the second remote wireless transmitting mode while in said charging mode, said device further including a wired transceiver to permit patient-related data transfer remotely in said charging mode, and in which said device simultaneously transfers data over each of said wired and said wireless transceivers,wherein a plurality of physiological parameters are continuously monitored by said monitoring device, said monitoring device further comprising a pulse oximeter assembly in which said monitoring device is programmed to continuously monitor at least one of said plurality of physiological parameters while said pulse oximeter assembly is enabled to selectively operate in each of a continuous monitoring mode and a spot-check monitoring mode and in which the at least one of said plurality of physiological parameters is continuously monitored independent of the monitoring mode selected for the pulse oximeter assembly.
