FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: interface circuit connected to each medical device communicates with a wireless relay module via a wireless relay network. The relay module communicates with a remote monitoring device over an internet-accessible wireless communication network. The controller determines the status of the networks. When the status indicates that the internet-accessible wireless communication network is available, a transmitter transmits medical device data over this network. When the internet-accessible wireless communication network is not accessible, another transmitter transmits the data to another wireless relay module. In addition, the controller obtains status information of the two networks, and either transmits this information to one of the medical devices or prepares the information for display on a display of the wireless relay module.
EFFECT: faster transmission.
