2.6 BeneLink Module 
BeneLink module allows the information (patient data, alarms, etc.) from the external device 
to be displayed, saved, recorded, printed, or calculated through a BeneView patient monitor. 
If the patient monitor is connected with the CMS or gateway, information from the external 
device can also be transmitted to the CMS or gateway. BeneLink module connects with the 
external device through an ID module, which enables the information transmission between 
the BeneLink module and the external device. BeneLink module can be connected to many 
external devices such as anesthesia machine and ventilator.
