A wireless network connected pulse oximetry system and method of providing pulse oximetry data obtained by a pulse oximeter to a monitoring station that is remote from a patient monitored by the pulse oximeter are provided. In one embodiment, a wireless network connected pulse oximetry system () includes a pulse oximeter () having an optical data transmitter () such as an infra-red LED and associated LED drive circuitry). The system () also includes a computer () that is interconnectable with a global data network () (e.g., the Internet) and an optical data receiver () that is connectable with a data port () of the computer via a data cable (). The optical data receiver () is operable to receive optically transmitted pulse oximetry data () from the pulse oximeter () and convert the received pulse oximetry data () for transmission via the data cable () to the data port () of the computer (). The system also includes a software module () executable by the computer () that enables the computer () to format the pulse oximetry data () received on its data port () for transmission via the global data network () to a remote monitoring station (). In other embodiments, the optical data receiver may not be necessary, or the pulse oximetry data may instead be transmitted via a radio-frequency wireless connection.

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for formatting data from a pulse oximetry monitoring device to include display layout information for use by a remotely located display unit. In this regard, the remotely located display unit is in data communication with the pulse oximetry through a communications network. The data communications network may be an analog network such as a telephony network or a digital network such as the internet. In any case, upon receiving the pulse oximetry data, a remote display device may utilize the display layout information to provide an output of the monitored data. This output may be a visual display or a hard copy output.
