Abstract
A repeater providing data exchange with a medical device for remote patient care and method thereof are provided. A plurality of interfaces include a medical device interface interconnected with a medical device, a wireless interface coupled to a wireless medium, and a wired interface coupled to a wired medium. An interface selector includes a test module operable over the wireless interface and the wired interface to evaluate conditions on each respective medium that could affect data exchange over each of the interfaces. The interface selector further includes a selection module specifying data exchange to occur using one of the wireless interface and the wired interface based on the evaluated conditions. An interrogator module exchanges data with the medical device over the medical device interface. A data transfer module exchanges the data with an external device over the specified interface.
