INNOVATIVE OPERATION ROOM LIGHT SYSTEM CAPABLE OF WIRELESS DATA EXCHANGE BETWEEN OPERATING ROOM DEVICES

摘要

The invention relates to a communication system and devices forming part of this system, wherein light is used for the transmission signal. The communication system includes an apparatus for forwarding operating room device signals to a device which apparatus is configured to receive an analog signal comprising the operating room device signal and to produce a digital signal based upon the analog signal, the apparatus further being configured to produce a signal based upon the digital signal, wherein the signal is for modulating the output of a light source. This invention includes a device for managing access and priority of traffic within this system according to a specific hierarchy of priority starting with safety and ending with administrative information.
