SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANT DATA

摘要

A system and method for transmitting implant data includes an orthopaedic implant, a wireless receiver, and a processing circuit electrically coupled to the wireless receiver. The orthopaedic implant is configured to transmit implant identification data and implant sensor data to the wireless receiver in response to a power signal. The orthopedic implant may transfer the data over, for example, a wireless network. The processing circuit receives the implant identification data and the implant sensor data from the wireless receiver and is configured to retrieve patient-related data from a database based on the implant identification data. The processing circuit may also be configured to update a patient queue, assign a patient room to a patient, and/or transmit the patient-related data and the implant sensor data to a client machine located in the patient room.

1. A method for transmitting data from an orthopaedic implant, the method comprising:
receiving a power signal generated by a primary coil with a secondary coil of the orthopaedic implant; receiving an output signal from a sensor of the orthopaedic implant in response to the power signal; and wirelessly transmitting implant identification data and the output signal in response to the power signal.
