Abstract
A flexible patient monitoring system which interfaces a telemetry subsystem with a communications network by way of a telemetry transmission receiving system and a network controller. The telemetry subsystem includes one or more monitoring instruments, a multiport transmitter, a telemetry subsystem interface, a backchannel receiver module, and a telemetry docking station. Wireless communications between the telemetry subsystem and various nodes on the network are thus enabled. A backchannel communications link on a paging-based communications channel is provided to permit information to be transmitted from a node on the communications network to the multiport transmitter.
