A system for transmitting voice commands to a medical device (16) for carrying out those commands by the medical device (16). The system includes a remote control device (12) that receives the voice commands from the caregiver (10) and recognizes the caregiver (10) as being authorized to give such commands. The recognized commands are then analyzed to determine the particular command, and the signals representing that command are transmitted in digital form by a wireless protocol, such as a ZigBee wireless protocol, to a receiving module (18) incorporated into or in communication with the medical device (16). The receiving module (18) decodes the wireless protocol, identifies the particular command, and interfaces that command to the medical device (16), whereby the command effects the operation of the medical device (16), such as by silencing an alarm thereon.
