Communication with the Connex central station (CS)
The Connex central station provides centralized monitoring of connected devices. The monitor must be configured to connect to a
central station in Advanced settings.
Monitors communicate with the central station through hardwired Ethernet and wireless networks. Communication between
the monitor and the central station is bi-directional but varies based on the active profile and selected advanced settings. In the
Continuous Monitoring profile, patient vital-signs data streams to the central station.
Connex CS supports communication of the following:
• continuouslymonitoredandintermittentlyacquired(episodic)vital-signsdata
• patientvital-signsalarms
• technicalequipmentalerts
The central station also supports the review and printing of stored data.
