ABSTRACT:
A monitor system for acquiring medical data from a patient is distributed over at least two geographically separate patient monitoring areas and interconnected via a communication network. A portable monitor (102) coupled to a patient receives and processes patient data signals from a sensor coupled to the patient. At least two patient monitor docking stations (111) are provided, each one of which is selectively coupled to the portable monitor and connected for transmission of patient data received from the portable patient monitor to the communication network. Each docking station comprises a coupler for detachably coupling the portable monitor to the docking station, a signal transfer device (108) for transferring patient-related data signals between the portable monitor and the docking station when the portable monitor is coupled to the docking station, and a signal processor for monitoring the patient-related data signals provided by the signal transfer device for developing a connection information signal when the portable monitor is coupled to the docking station, the connection information signal being applied for developing an alarm in the event that the signal processor monitors that the portable monitor is not operating correctly.
