A system and method for transmitting implant data includes an orthopaedic
implant, a wireless receiver, and a processing circuit electrically
coupled to the wireless receiver. The orthopaedic implant is configured
to transmit implant identification data and implant sensor data to the
wireless receiver in response to a power signal. The orthopedic implant
may transfer the data over, for example, a wireless network. The
processing circuit receives the implant identification data and the
implant sensor data from the wireless receiver and is configured to
retrieve patient-related data from a database based on the implant
identification data. The processing circuit may also be configured to
update a patient queue, assign a patient room to a patient, and/or
transmit the patient-related data and the implant sensor data to a client
machine located in the patient room.
