The system consists of Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz processor, 256MB DDR RAM, 40GB HDD, 52x CDROM Drive, 17'' high resolution TFT-LCD color monitor, standard Intel chipset mainboard (having 10/100 Mbit ethernet, USB 2.0 and sound blaster outputs), standard keyboard, mouse, external speaker, HP 1010 laser printer, protection board, watchdog board, central station software and embedded watchdog board software. These features are the minimum requirements of the system. It may have a higher configuration.

The CENTRAL STATION UNIT provides remote, up to 100 meters away, monitoring of waveforms, numerical parameters, alarms, parameter settings and trend data of all patient monitors connected to the system. It also provides remote control of many patient monitor functions such as changing gain and derivation, setting alarms, monitoring trend data, entering patient's name and recording waveforms and numerical parameters from the printers in the system; thermal printer of patient monitors and HP 1010 laser printer. It's easy to use with its color screen, mouse and keyboard. The number of patient monitors connected to the system and the traces to be monitored on the screen can be set by the user.

The CENTRAL STATION UNIT receives patient data from patient monitors by using UDP/IP protocol. Each patient monitor has a unique IP address in the system. All are connected to the CENTRAL STATION UNIT through an ethernet switch. It displays waveforms of ECG, SpO2, IBP, RESP and CO2 and numerical parameters of ECG, SpO2, IBP, NIBP, RESP and CO2. It displays maximum 16 channels of waveforms on the screen at a time.

The displayed waveforms, measured parameters, trend data, alarm records, frozen traces and many other data collected from the patient monitors can be recorded on size A4 paper with either laser printer or thermal printer on patient monitors.

There are four monitoring modes of the CENTRAL STATION UNIT; bedside view mode (single patient view mode), 8-patient view mode, 16-patient view mode and full disclosure view mode.
