Patent ID: 8316055

Claim:
A system in communication with a medical device comprising: first and second removable data storage mediums independent of one another, wherein the first removable data storage medium and the second removable data storage medium are of the same type and are physically interchangeable with one another; a database independent of the plurality of removable data storage mediums; a graphic display; and a controller in communication with the plurality of removable data storage mediums, the graphic display, and the medical device, the controller including a memory in communication with a processor, the memory including a plurality of computer readable program instructions for execution by the processor to perform the steps of: detecting a spare capacity to store a file of data associated with a unique patient identifier acquired from the medical device to the first removable data storage medium, storing a first list of identifiers of files of the data stored to the first removable data storage medium correlated to a first identifier of the first removable data storage medium, the first list of identifiers of files stored in the database, determining if one or both of the first removable data storage medium or the second removable data storage medium is below a threshold spare capacity to receive the file of data associated with the unique patient identifier acquired from the medical device, if the first storage medium is below the threshold spare capacity but the second storage medium is above the threshold spare capacity: automatically causing to stop communicating data for storage to the first removable data storage medium and to start communicating the file of data associated with the unique patient identifier for storage to the second removable data storage medium, storing a second list of files of the data stored to the second removable storage medium correlated to a second identifier of the second removable data storage medium, the second list stored to the database, and creating a first graphic display indicating that the first removable data storage medium is above the threshold capacity and discontinued for receipt of additional data for storage, as well as illustrative of the second removable data storage medium as active to receive the file of data associated with the unique patient identifier; if both the first storage medium and the second storage medium are below the threshold spare capacity: generating a second graphic display indicating that none of the plurality of data storage mediums has the spare capacity to receive the file of data from the medical device.
