Mindray BeneVision N17 - Differences in Displayed Values; Connecting an External Device

9 - 2 BeneVision N Series Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual
9.3 Differences in Displayed Values
In certain cases, there may be differences between the numerics displayed on the monitor and those on external
devices. The table below lists some situations and possible reasons.
NOTE
• When the pressure units are converted among cmH
2
O, hPa and mbar, the parameter values remain
unchanged, for example, 1cmH
2
O=1hPa=1mbar, which may differ from some external devices.
9.4 Connecting an External Device
An external device is connected to the BeneLink module through an ID adapter. The ID adapter supports only its
matching device.
Situation Possible Reasons
Some parameter values are displayed as invalid
values on the monitor.
The patient monitor and the external device may have different
parameter configuration or displaying range of values. If the
patient monitor displays a parameter not configured in the
external device, or a parameter value from the external device
exceeds the displaying range of the monitor, corresponding
parameter value is displayed on the monitor as an invalid value.
The monitor and external device display parameter
values with different numbers of places of decimals.
The monitor displays parameter values from the external device
based on the monitor displaying rules. Same parameter value is
displayed differently when the monitor and the external device
adopts different numbers of places of decimals.
Non-continuously measured values and
continuously measured values have the same
displaying mode in the patient monitor.
For non-continuously measured values, the monitor displays the
latest measured values until a new measurement is taken by the
external device.
Parameter values displayed on the patient monitor
and those displayed in the external device are
slightly different.
Some parameter values are converted to different units when
transmitted to the monitor. Sometimes, values from the external
device may be delayed before transmission to the patient
monitor.
