8 - 2 BeneVision N22/N19 Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual
8.1 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, printed, or calculated 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.
8.2 BeneLink Safety Information
• Devices of the same category can not be connected to the BeneLink module simultaneously.
• A patient monitor supports one BeneLink module only.
• The signal labels used on the patient monitor may be different from those given on the external
device.
• The alarms from external devices may be advanced or 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. Please see the list of Output Signals
corresponding with each external device for the alarm priorities used by your patient monitor.
• The alarm messages from external devices are derived from the open protocol of corresponding
external device. For more information about these alarms, please see the operator’s manual of
corresponding devices.
