Mindray recently released a new line of BeneVision N-Series Patient Monitors tailored for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the BeneVision N12/N15/N17 Neonatal Patient Monitors.
The NICU-tailored BeneVision N-Series monitors use Mindray’s N1 Transport Monitor/Module as their core parameter module. The N-Series offers three multiparameter monitor sizes — 12-inch, 15-inch, and 18.5-inch. They are equipped with features, functionality, and clinical tools designed to support neonatal patient care. From the first moments in the delivery room through transport to the NICU, the N1’s neonatal arrhythmia analysis and continuous vital sign measurements, such as heart rate, respiration, oxygen saturation, and invasive pressures are displayed on a 5.5-inch multi-gesture touchscreen.
“The BeneVision N-Series elevates NICU monitoring to the next level by providing caregivers unmatched usability and access to comprehensive, meaningful patient data at their fingertips, empowering them to make informed decisions at the bedside,” said Beth Aquaviva, Mindray’s senior marketing product manager for Monitoring Solutions.
The NICU N-Series models feature multi-gesture, capacitive touchscreen technology that works like a smartphone to incorporate ease and speed into clinical workflow, Aquaviva said. Users can see the patient’s historical vital signs data and real-time monitoring information with one or two swipes, supporting clinical diagnosis and informed decision-making, and information sharing with the family at the point of care.
The BeneVision N-Series Monitors are equipped with privacy and night-mode display settings, designed to help NICU teams create a calm and soothing environment for patients and family members.
Other NICU-specific features include an OxyCRG with ABD Events review window, customizable gestational age-appropriate alarm features, configurable alarm settings and a Targeted Goal screen with SpO2 histogram view.
In addition to the new tools and features that the BeneVision N-Series Monitors bring to the NICU, they also feed into Mindray’s BeneVision Distributed Monitoring System to provide continuous centralized monitoring and surveillance.
“The N-Series continuously monitors, stores and sends patient data to the BeneVision Central Monitoring Station to provide clinicians gap-free, continuous monitoring available where and when (they) need it,” Aquaviva said. “We are excited to share these new offerings with the NICU and see how we can accompany NICU clinicians on their journey to provide better healthcare for all.”
