Monitor details3

  1. EMG (electromyogram) shown in numerical and as a bar
  2. SQI (signal quality index)
  3. BIS™ value (with alarm range if programmed)
  4. SR (suppression ratio) percentage (with alarm limit if programmed)
  5. ST (suppression time) in minutes and seconds
  6. MF (median frequency)
  7. SEF (spectral edge frequency)
  8. Adjustable EEG amplitude scale and sweep speed
  9. Built-in troubleshooting guides
  10. Graphic display of BIS™ value and secondary variable
  11. High-resolution DSA (density spectral array)
  12. Two- or four-channel capabilities
See how BIS™ technology can help you improve the efficiency of your procedural workflow.

Designed for more efficient workflow

  • Save time with data output protocols that enable connectivity to electronic medical records (EMRs).3
  • Set system-wide default preferences to save time — no need to re-set every time.3
  • Maintain continuous monitoring when moving between care settings.

Clinical evidence

Improved post anesthesia recovery

“The pooled data showed that the use of BIS was significantly associated with a lower incidence of POCD and improved recovery parameters (extubation time, time to eye opening, and time to discharge from the PACU).”

Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring and postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis With trial sequential analysis. Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia. 2022 Dec 1;36(12):4449–59.

Improved post anesthesia neurocognitive outcomes

“We found that BIS monitoring of the depth of anesthesia prevented POD, whereas EEG monitoring was not effective. BIS quantifies the depth of anesthesia based on EEGs, which enables a more accurate control of anesthetic concentration and increases patient safely.”

Intraoperative awareness prevention

“…in intravenous anesthesia, BIS monitoring could reduce the incidence of intraoperative awareness by approximately 80%.”
