Abstract

A medical sensor extension cable includes a sensor electrical contacting interface, that receives an electrical sensor signal which indicates a physiological parameter of a patient, and a wired data interface, that connects to a data network device. An integrated circuit determines measured values of the physiological parameter based on the sensor signal, to provide an alarm limit value, to establish a presence of an alarm event as a function of a comparison of the measured values and the at least one alarm limit value, as well as to provide data elements, which indicate the measured values and the presence of the alarm event in the event of an alarm, via the data interface. A data network device includes a data connection interface for a data interface of the extension cable. A display interface provides a display signal, which indicates the measured values and the alarm limits.
