The surveyor central station system is intended for monitoring of physiological signs, including cardiac and vital signs, for multiple patients within a medical facility.The system can receive, display and store data from up to a maximum of 64 multi-parameter patient monitors, mobile monitors, and/or telemetry systems.The system can support patient monitoring and telemetry monitoring modes simultaneously.Patient monitors can be surveyor s12 or s19 patient monitoring systems.Ambulatory telemetry transmitter and mobile monitor sources can be surveyor s4 systems.In patient monitoring mode, the patient monitors provide primary monitoring functionality while the surveyor central station system provides continuous secondary monitoring of patients including alarm reception and management, display and storage of parameters and waveforms including full-disclosure, automatic and on-demand generation of various printed reports using a network-attached printer.In telemetry monitoring mode, the surveyor central station provides primary monitoring of patients including display of values and waveforms, alarm generation and management, data storage, patient management and report printing functionality.Patients are monitored through telemetry, when moving in a defined area, of a variable size depending on layout and thickness of walls.In order to guarantee a proper signal transmission in each different situation, an antenna network can be installed according to customer needs.The data and analysis provided by the surveyor central station is reviewed, confirmed, and used by trained medical personnel in the diagnosis of patients with various conditions.The hrc technician went onsite to inspect the reported incident and inspect the network connection.The technician checked the switch and connectivity from all nodes of the system and found not network connectivity issues.Additionally the customer stated that the issue had not occurred since the reported event between one and two months back.The hrc technician investigated the device thoroughly and could not replicate the reported issue.No malfunction.There was no serious incident reported.Therefore, hillrom does not consider this complaint reportable.The system is functioning as designed.Based on this information, no further action is required.
