Monitoring Equipment

Central Monitoring System

A networked information system that brings vital-sign data from multiple bedside monitors together at a central station for consolidated display, management, and analysis.

Departments

Intensive Care Units (ICUs), Anesthesiology, Emergency Departments, Operating Rooms, and Postpartum Recovery Units.

Core Function Highlights
  • Centralized Multi-Patient MonitoringData and waveforms from monitors at multiple beds are brought together on central-station displays, allowing simultaneous review of parameters such as ECG, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure for multiple patients.
  • Data Review and Alarm ManagementThe system can store waveform trends, alarm events, and related data over extended periods for retrospective review. The central station can issue audible and visual alarms when parameters move outside configured limits.
  • Information Sharing and Workflow SupportNetwork connectivity allows care teams to view bedside data from nursing stations, offices, and other authorized locations. Some systems can interface with electronic medical-record systems for data sharing and management.
