Features
Read full description

ConoxView is an App that displays and saves data from the Conox anaesthesia monitor. Conox is a non-invasive depth of anaesthesia monitor for monitoring the combination of hypnotic and analgesic effects on patients undergoing anaesthesia. The Conox monitor computes anesthesia EEG based indices: qCON, qNOX, BSR and EMG, and the ConoxView App allows the user to display these indexes and the EEG signal in real time. It also saves the data received in binary format and the anesthesia indexes in text files. The application works by receiving data from the Conox monitor through Bluetooth. The application is able to manage the Bluetooth connection (detection and reconnection) with the Conox monitor. All data are processed (indexes and EEG) in the Conox monitor and application only reads and displays the data without modification. The app is compatible only with Conox 2D (Firmware version 5.10 or above). Previous Conox versions are not supported. After 6 hours of continuous recording, it is suggested to stop and restart the recording with the respective buttons. Recordings longer than 6 hours might cause less fluidity of the ConoxView app. Automatic lock of the screen shall be disabled in order to see data without interruptions. If it is enabled then screen will lock after set time. Data will be available after unlocking screen. DISCLAIMER Conox device and ConoxView iOS app are intended for trained professional medical personnel and/or authorized personnel to service and maintain the Conox device. All final decisions on patient treatment are the sole responsibility of the healthcare professional in charge and under no circumstances should the Conox device and/or ConoxView iOS app be used as the sole parameter for adjusting the anesthetic dose. JURISDICTION STATEMENT It is hereby declared that the medical hardware Conox is MDR compliant and it is currently sold in European Union, United Kingdom, South Africa and Hong Kong. The present statement will be updated in case Conox will become available for sale in further countries.
