SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADAPTER-BASED COMMUNICATION WITH A MEDICAL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A medical data interchange device comprising:
- a processor;
a device interface;
a data relay transceiver; and
a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
receive data from a medical device through a wired connection using the device interface, wherein the data from the medical device is received by the medical data interchange device through an adapter coupled to the device interface, the adapter configured to communicate with the medical data interchange device using a first communication format and communicate with the medical device using a second communication format; and
transmit the data to an intermediary device using the data relay transceiver.

Abstract
A system according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a processor, a device interface, a data relay transceiver, and a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions. The processor executes the instructions in the memory to receive data from a medical device through a wired connection using the device interface, where the data is received through an adapter coupled to the device interface and that communicates with the medical data interchange device using a first communication format and with the medical device using a second communication format. The processor further executes the instructions in the memory to transmit the data to an intermediary device using the data relay transceiver. This system can be implemented in a small, portable unit that is easy for a patient to transport. The adapter can be removably coupled to the medical data interchange device to allow different adapters configured to communicate with different medical devices to be used with a single medical data interchange device.
