2.3.2 External Modules
The external modules are used to monitor the patient’s physiological parameters, record patient information
and data, and connect external devices. The monitor provides the following modules:
■ Parameter modules: acquires and processes the patient’s data and sends the data to the main unit.
■ BeneLink module: connects external devices. The monitor outputs data from external devices through the
BeneLink module.
2.3.2.1 Available Modules
Refer to 29Accessories for available modules.
The monitor can simultaneously use maximum of two IBP modules. The other modules can only be used one at
a time. Otherwise, the monitor will issue a module conflict prompt.
For example, if a CO
2
module is already loaded and then another CO
2
module is inserted, the monitor will then
prompt module conflict. To solve the problem of module conflict, just remove a module.
2.3.2.2 Example Module
The parameter modules have similar structure:
■ The parameter label is marked at the upper left corner.
■ Hard keys are located on the upper part.
■ Patient cable connectors are located at the lower part.
Take the IBP module as an example:
(4) Network Connector
It is a standard RJ45 connector which connects the monitor to the central monitoring system
(CMS) or other network devices.
(5) USB connectors
It connects USB devices, for example the barcode reader.
(6) VGA Connector
It connects It connects a external display, which extends the display capability of your monitor.
The contents displayed on the external display screen accords with those displayed on the
monitor screen.
(7) Multifunctional Connector
It outputs defibrillator synchronization signals, nurse call signals and analogy output signals.
