  • Publication number: 20020058861
    Abstract: The medical monitoring system provides for the gathering of signals from a variety of medical monitoring equipment that is attached to a patient either human or animal by a medical monitor. The medical monitor passes the gathered signals to a signal distribution system for conditioning, filtering, and multiplexing/switching. The signal distribution system then passes the signals to a computer for analysis, storing, and monitoring. The computer may be located at a central location or hub and be receiving information and signals from multiple medical monitors over a network that may be wireless and/or wired. The computer may instead be connected to just one medical monitor. Depending upon the exact implementation, the exact location of these three components will be dictated.
