BeneVision N Series Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual 2 - 1
2 Equipment Introduction
2.1 Intended Use
The BeneVision N series patient monitors (N22, N19, N17, N15, N12, N12C), hereafter called the monitor, are
intended to be used for monitoring, displaying, reviewing, storing, alarming and transferring of multiple
physiological parameters including ECG (3-lead, 5-lead, 6-lead, and 12-lead selectable, arrhythmia detection, ST
segment analysis, QT/QTc monitoring, and heart rate (HR)), respiration (Resp), temperature (Temp), pulse oxygen
saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), invasive blood pressure (IBP), cardiac
output (C.O.), carbon dioxide (CO
2
), oxygen (O
2
), anesthetic gas (AG), impedance cardiograph (ICG), bispectral
index (BIS), respiration mechanics (RM), continuous cardiac output (CCO), central venous oxygen saturation
(ScvO
2
), electroencephalograph (EEG), neuromuscular transmission (NMT), and regional oxygen saturation
(rSO
2
). The monitor also provides an interpretation of resting 12-lead ECG.
All the parameters can be monitored on single adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients with the exception of the
following:
â– The BIS, CCO, ScvO2 and NMT monitoring are intended for adult and pediatric patients only.
â– C.O. monitoring is only intended for adult patients.
â– ICG monitoring is only intended for use on patients above the age of 13 years, with weight greater than 34
kg, and taller than 130 cm..
This monitor is to be used in healthcare facilities by clinical professionals or under their guidance. It is not
intended for helicopter transport, hospital ambulance, or home use.
• This monitor is intended for use only by clinical professionals or under their guidance. It must only
be used by persons who have received adequate training in its use. Anyone unauthorized or
untrained must not perform any operation on it.
