Abstract
A flexible patient monitoring system which interfaces a telemetry subsystem with a 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. The flexible patient monitoring system may be operated to implement network-based, system-originated control of one or more of the patient monitoring functions performed in the system. A particular function that is subject to dynamic control is the transmission of a telemetry signal.
