SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WIRELESSLY PAIRING MEDICAL DEVICES USING NON-NUMERIC KEY PATTERNS

摘要

A method for wirelessly pairing a medical acquisition device and a host device. The method includes requesting an authentication key associated with the medical acquisition device to be entered into the host device, and producing a key pattern on the medical acquisition device representative of the authentication key, where the key pattern is non-numeric. The method further includes providing a plurality of targets on the host device, and receiving selections of the plurality of targets to form an entry pattern on the host device. The method further includes wirelessly pairing the medical acquisition device and the host device only when the entry pattern is determined to match the key pattern on the medical acquisition device.
