A monitor system for acquiring medical data from a patient, the system being distributed over at least two geographically separate patient monitoring areas and interconnected via a communication network. A portable monitor is adapted for coupling to a patient for receiving and processing patient data signals from a sensor when the sensor is coupled to the patient. At least two patient monitor docking stations are provided, each one of which is adapted to be selectively coupled to the portable patient monitor and connected for transmission of patient data received from the portable patient monitor to the communication network. Each docking station comprises a coupling means for detachably coupling the portable monitor to the docking station, a signal transfer means for transferring patient-related data signals between the portable monitor and the docking station when the portable monitor is coupled to the docking station, and signal processing means for monitoring the patient-related data signals provided by the signal transfer means for developing a connection information signal when the portable monitor is coupled to the docking station, the connection information signal being applied for developing an alarm in the event that the signal processing means monitors that the portable monitor is not operating correctly. |
