Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices that provide automated and secure pairing of a wireless device to a patient monitor device (PMD) and/or network or network of devices using a unique biometric identifier.

Abstract: In one aspect, disclosed is a system including a first data acquisition device configured to be coupled to the patient to acquire clinical data and a patient-assigned monitor coupled to the first data acquisition device that includes a first wireless communication module and a monitor identification code. The system also includes an ambulatory patient device having an identification code reader configured to capture the monitor identification code, a second data acquisition device configured to acquire clinical data from the patient and a second wireless communication module. Capture of the monitor identification code by the identification code reader automatically initiates wireless pairing between the patient-assigned monitor and the ambulatory patient device. Related apparatus, systems, methods and/or articles are described.

Abstract: An electrode connectivity determination system is coupled to a plurality of patient attachable electrodes. Such a system includes a comparator for performing a comparison of a low frequency differential signal derived from at least two of the patient attachable electrodes with a predetermined threshold signal and a decision processor for generating a signal indicating an electrode signal is at least potentially degraded in response to said first comparison.
