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.
