Predictika · Patient monitor configuration: bedside monitors and parameter modules

An AI sales agent's Mindray BeneVision monitor configuration, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a configuration for a bedside patient monitor: the monitor, an optional extension and the parameter modules. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public product information and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: BeneVision N12, N15 and N17 bedside monitors: module slots, extensions and patient population limits. See everything this validator covers

This validator models configurations of one product family, the BeneVision N12, N15 and N17 bedside monitors with N-Series parameter modules, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Slots — the N12 has 4 integrated slots and the N15 and N17 have 6; an extension adds slots up to 7 in total on an N12 (TMR) and 9 on an N15 or N17 (TMR or SMR).
  • Module sizes — the Platinum MPM, Agent Gas and Agent Gas with BIS modules take two slots each; the other modules counted here take one.
  • Patient population — the BIS module is for adult and pediatric patients only; the CO and FloTrac modules are for adult patients only.
  • Stated slot count — the number of slots the configuration says it uses is compared with the slots the modules need.

Any N12, N15 or N17 configuration that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Mindray does not publish them, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), the N1, N19 and N22 monitors, satellite module racks, the recorder, software options, central station and other Mindray product lines.

The AI sales agentBuilds the monitor configuration from the conversation and says it is ready.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong
Click to expand
    
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

    
What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Modules that take two slots and others that take oneOnly with care
A product rule per module with its slot width and a running total against the monitor; it works, but the total and the message must be kept in step as modules are added.		Module counts arrive in one request and the slots needed are computed and compared with the slots available on every call.
An extension that changes how many slots a monitor hasOnly with care
The extension choice changes the slot limit differently for each monitor, so each monitor and extension combination needs its own rule.		Monitor, extension and modules are in one request and the available slots are computed from the monitor and extension together.
Modules that are not for every patient populationOnly with workarounds
A module rule has to read the patient population chosen elsewhere in the configuration, and each restricted module needs its own rule and message.		The patient population travels with the configuration and each restricted module is checked against it.
Stated slot count that must match the modulesOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with a computed total, but someone has to write and maintain that comparison.		The stated figure travels with the configuration and is compared with the computed figure on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1The modules need 10 slots; the monitor with the chosen extension has 9.
2The modules need 8 slots; the monitor with the chosen extension has 6.
3The modules need 5 slots; the monitor with the chosen extension has 4.
4The modules need 8 slots; the monitor with the chosen extension has 7.
5Mindray lists only the TMR extension (7 slots in total) for the N12; the SMR is listed for the N15 and N17.
6The BIS module is for adult and pediatric patients only; the quote is for neonatal use.
7The CO module is for adult patients only.
8The FloTrac module is for adult patients only.
9The quote states 7 slots in use; the modules need 9.
10The quote states 10 slots in use; the modules need 9.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a configuration for a bedside patient monitor: the monitor, an optional extension and the parameter modules. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public product information and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please configure a BeneVision N12 bedside monitor with the SMR extension for adult patients, with 1 Platinum MPM, 1 Agent Gas module. The configuration states 9 module slots in use. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. The modules need 9 slots; the monitor with the chosen extension has 7. Mindray lists only the TMR extension (7 slots in total) for the N12; the SMR is listed for the N15 and N17.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned two blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for modules that take two slots and others that take one, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the extension to TMR.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. The modules need 9 slots; the monitor with the chosen extension has 7.
    12. 
      
  12. One finding cleared; still blocked on more module slots needed than available.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the FloTrac modules to 0, the other single-slot modules to 2 and the stated slots in use to 7.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    18. 
      
  18. Two problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer.
