The Life Scope G5 (CSM-1501/CSM-1502) is a bedside monitor from Nihon Kohden for continuous monitoring, recording and alarming of multiple physiological parameters in adults, children and neonates. The monitor has a 12.1-inch (CSM-1501) or 15.6-inch (CSM-1502) touchscreen and measures additional parameters via MULTI connections with Smart cables.
Via LS-NET and HL7, the monitor can be connected to central monitors and the hospital network; with the transport function, patient data can be taken along with the input unit to another bed.

CSM-1502: up to 2 additional screens, the first via HDMI (1366 × 768), the second via DVI (1680 × 1050; requires optional side option board QI-152P); up to 15, 30 or 47 traces on one, two or three screens.
- Operation
- Touchscreen, mouse, remote control and barcode scanner. The wireless remote control RY-910PA has six function keys for preset screens; one remote control can operate up to 9 monitors by channel selection.
- Measured parameters
- ECG (3/6/12 leads), respiration (impedance method), SpO₂, SpO₂-2, NIBP, IBP, temperature, cardiac output, BIS, CO₂ (mainstream), TOF.
- Optional parameters
- With optional module/unit: CO₂ (sidestream), anaesthetic gas (CO₂, O₂, N₂O, agent), Flow/Paw, EEG. With external device and interface: ventilation, CCO, SvO₂, tcPO₂/tcPCO₂, rSO₂. With optional software QL-005P/QL-006P: esCCO.
- ECG and arrhythmia
- Arrhythmia analysis with multi-template matching (2 analysis channels), 25 arrhythmia alarm items; ST measurement; QTc/QRSd; 12-lead analysis. Synthesised 18-lead ECG (synECi18) with optional software QL-004P.
- NIBP and SpO₂
- NIBP: oscillometric, measurement range 0 to 300 mmHg, iNIBP (measurement during cuff inflation) and PWTT-triggered NIBP measurement; adult, child or neonate is recognised by the connected air hose. SpO₂: measurement technology Nihon Kohden, Nellcor or Masimo (depending on the input unit).
- Input units and MULTI connections
- Up to 11 MULTI connections; a Smart cable in a MULTI connection is recognised automatically. Input units: AY-661P and AY-651P/AY-631P (1 MULTI), AY-663P and AY-653P/AY-633P (3 MULTI); expansion: AA-672P (2 MULTI), AA-674P (4 MULTI), AA-174P (4 MULTI). Via MULTI connections, among others IBP, CO₂, TEMP, CO, BIS and TOF. With the CSM-1500, an input unit can be connected directly to the main unit and used as an integrated monitor.
- Core unit connections
- 1 × network, 3 × USB, 1 × HDMI, 1 × serial, 2 × multilink. Via multilink the monitor receives data from external equipment such as an anaesthesia or ventilation device.
- Network and interfaces
- LS-NET (Life Scope Networking, Ethernet LAN) to central monitors, other bedside monitors and server; connection to the hospital network with HL7 output. Interbed: individual screen or display of 20 beds. Network printer (A4) can be connected via the LAN port.
- Trends and review
- Trends (graphic and table) 72 hours; full disclosure 72 hours for 5 waveforms (24 hours when the transport function is enabled); alarm history 16,384 items.
- Transport function
- Patient data and review can be transferred to another bed by disconnecting the input unit and connecting it to the destination monitor (requires optional memory unit QM-600P in the input unit). A Life Scope PT from the BSM-1700 series can be used as an input unit.
