Patent Images
1. A wireless communications adapter configured to provide a monitor-compatible signal to a patient monitor that is useable by the patient monitor to determine a physiological parameter measurement, the wireless communications adapter comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a wirelessly transmitted signal from a physiological sensor, the wirelessly transmitted signal including information from which a physiological parameter measurement may be derived; and
a processor configured to obtain characterization information specific to a patient monitor and adapt the received wirelessly transmitted signal to a monitor-compatible signal utilizing the characterization information, the monitor-compatible signal adapted for compatibility with the patient monitor, the monitor-compatible signal usable by the patient monitor to determine a physiological parameter measurement consistent with physiological data collected by the physiological sensor.

Abstract
A sensor interface is configured to receive a sensor signal. A transmitter generates a transmit signal. A receiver receives the signal corresponding to the transmit signal. Further, a monitor interface is configured to communicate a waveform to the monitor so that measurements derived by the monitor from the waveform are generally equivalent to measurements derivable from the sensor signal.
