Telemetered characteristic monitor system and method of using the same
First Claim
1. An external telemetered characteristic monitor system for monitoring a characteristic of a user, the system comprising:
- a remotely located data device;
a sensor set supporting a sensor for producing a signal indicative of the characteristic of the user;
an external transmitter device coupled to the sensor set including;
a housing;
a sensor connector coupled to the housing and that is connectable to the sensor set to receive signals from the sensor;
a processor within the housing coupled to the sensor connector to process the signals from the sensor for delivery to the remotely located data device;
a transmitter coupled to the processor for wirelessly transmitting the processed signals to the remotely located data device, wherein the remotely located data device utilizes the received processed signals to determine a characteristic reading of the user; and
a rechargeable battery within the housing to power the transmitter and the sensor; and
an associated charger that mates with the sensor connector of the external transmitter device to recharge the rechargeable battery of the external transmitter device when needed.

Abstract
A telemetered characteristic monitor system includes a remotely located data receiving device, a sensor for producing signal indicative of a characteristic of a user, and a transmitter device. The transmitter device includes a housing, a sensor connector, a processor, and a transmitter. The transmitter receives the signals from the sensor and wirelessly transmits the processed signals to the remotely located data receiving device. The processor coupled to the sensor processes the signals from the sensor for transmission to the remotely located data receiving device. The data receiving device may be a characteristic monitor, a data receiver that provides data to another device, an RF programmer for a medical device, a medication delivery device (such as an infusion pump), or the like.
