excellence. Basic capabilities include:

Viewing. Observe near-real-time waveforms and vital information for

patients connected to the CARESCAPE Network

Monitoring. Admit and discharge patients and manage patient alarms.

Patient condition review. View live waveforms, historical events, trends,

full disclosure data, 12SL reports, and more.

Strip reports. Flag ECG strips electronically, print for the patient’s chart
and send to the EMR1 or a remote SFTP server for archiving for a more
complete patient record.

Flexible configurations. The CARESCAPE Central Station hardware is designed to conserve space,
save you precious time, and adapt to your clinicians’ preferences.

Efficient use of space. A wide screen with 16:9 aspect ratio lets you display more waveform
information; touchscreen capability makes workflow highly efficient.

Exceptional alarm configurability helps you limit nuisance alarms, fight

alarm fatigue, and create quiet spaces where patients can heal.
You can easily adapt the system hardware to fit your clinicians’ viewing habits. Options include compact configurations with
no CPU cabinet – the CPU is built right into the primary display. Speakers are also built in, so more desktop space stays clear
and free from clutter.
