The invention, in one aspect, relates to a system for providing for the display of data from a plurality of non-homogeneous medical devices. In one embodiment the system includes a local authority to receive data using a first protocol from the medical devices and convert the data to a second protocol, a central authority in communication with the local authority, and a user interface, in communication with the central authority. The central authority routes data that has been converted to a second protocol for display by the user interface. The system generates alarms when a data value from one medical device reaches an alarm limit; deviates from a setting as a deviation alarm; and when a combination of data values from more than one medical device occurs, as a combination alarm; and if an alarm is triggered more than a predetermined number of times, as a consecutive alarm.
