## Indications for use
The Philips SureSigns Central is intended for central viewing of physiologic waves, parameters and trends from other networked medical devices (patient monitors and vital signs monitors) for multiple patients. It provides secondary operator notification of alarms from other networked medical devices. It provides for the retrospective review of alarm conditions, physiologic waveforms and parameters from multiple patients. The intended use of the printer, when present, is to provide hardcopy text, graphics and waveform data. The Philips SureSigns Central may provide for connection and information exchange to external systems. The Philips SureSigns Central is intended for use in hospitals and out-of-hospital patient care settings (such as clinics, outpatient surgery facilities, long-term care facilities and physician offices) in which care is administered by healthcare professionals.
