Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003094090
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system and method for uniquely identifying data streams associated with medical equipment are described. The system may be implemented in a variety of ways, including as a combination of a medical device (120), a data stream identifier (204), and a medical device identifier (206). The medical device (120) generates a plurality of data streams. The data streams are uninterrupted transmissions of data from the medical device (120). The data streams include information regarding the operation of the medical device (120). The data stream identifier (204) attaches a unique data tag to the data streams. The medical device identifier (206) is configured to generate a medical device tag. The medical device tag includes information to uniquely identify the medical device (120) and is accessible from an external computer (108). The data stream identifier (204) and the medical device identifier (206) are secured to the medical device.
