Abstract

A fluid infusion system includes local “body network” devices, such as an infusion pump, a handheld monitor or controller, a physiological sensor, and a bedside or hospital monitor. The body network devices support communication of status data, physiological information, alerts, control signals, and other information between one another. In addition, the body network devices support networked communication of status data, physiological information, alerts, control signals, and other information between the body network devices and “external” devices, systems, or communication networks. The networked medical devices support a variety of wireless data communication protocols. In addition, the wireless medical devices support a number of dynamically adjustable wireless data communication modes to react to current operating conditions, application-specific data content, or other criteria.
