BeneVision N Series Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual 9 - 1
9 Interfacing with External Devices
9.1 BeneLink Introduction
BeneLink module is intended for connecting external devices, such as ventilators and anesthesia machines, to
the monitor. It allows information (patient data, alarms, etc.) from external devices to be displayed, saved,
recorded, or printed through the monitor. If the monitor is connected with the CMS or eGateway, information
from external devices can also be transmitted to the CMS or eGateway.
For more information on connecting external devices via the BeneLink module, see BeneLink Module
Operator’s Manual (PN: 046-009023-00).
9.2 BeneLink Safety Information
• Devices of the same category can not be connected to the BeneLink module simultaneously.
• The signal labels used on the patient monitor may be different from those given on the external

• The alarms from external devices may be delayed before transmission to the patient monitor.
• There can be differences between the alarm priorities displayed on your monitors and the priorities
displayed on external devices interfaced through BeneLink.
