Brain monitoring OEM solutions

BIS™ LoC OEM module

<p>The Bispectral Index (BIS™) level of consciousness (LoC) module uses the BIS™ algorithm to process EEG data displayed as the BIS™ index.</p>

Features

BIS™ technology:

  • Indicates hypnotic effect through the easy-to-read BIS™ index

The BIS™ LoC two-channel OEM module delivers a full array of BIS™ brain monitoring parameter data, including:

  • BIS™ value — 0 to 100
  • Signal quality indicatory (SQI) — 0 to 100
  • EMG (electromyograph) indicator bar — indicative of muscle activity and other high-frequency artifact
  • EEG waveform display — one or two channels of filtered electroencephalogram (EEG) waveforms
  • Suppression ratio (SR) — 0% to 100% of time over the last 63-second period that the signal is considered to be in the suppressed state, indicating when an isoelectric (flatline) condition may exist
  • Burst count (bursts per minute) — used with BIS™ extended use sensor
  • BIS™ trend graph — plots the value of the Bispectral Index™ over time
  • Automated BIS™ sensor check — helps provide a faster sensor check

The BIS™ LoC four-channel OEM module system provides all the BIS™ technology performance advantages and clinical benefits, plus additional advanced BIS™ brain monitoring features:

  • The ability to acquire and display up to four channels of raw EEG with waveform display, including two channels collected from the right and two channels from the left.
  • BIS™ is available for either side of the brain to monitor levels of consciousness, offering both BIS-L and BIS-R values.
  • New parameter tools can assess hemispheric differences, including the density spectral array and asymmetry indicator.
  • The density spectral array (DSA) provides a graphical representation of a patient’s EEG frequency and power differences between the two brain hemispheres
  • The asymmetry (ASYM) indicator is a proprietary BIS™ parameter, in black and white graph form, that provides a simple, quick, and easy-to-assess depiction of hemispheric differences in total power of the EEG between the left and right hemispheres.

Filters
Users can select from a range of low-pass and high-pass filters that are available for artifact rejection. The low-pass filters allow the rejection of muscle artifacts. The high-pass filters allow the rejection of ECG signal interference. In addition, a notch filter suppresses line frequency interference.
The BIS™ XP technology built into the BISx™ system suppresses interference from electrocautery, EMG, and other high frequency noise sources.

Data exchange summary

The BISx™ system communicates with the host monitor through asynchronous serial communication (RS-232). The protocol is packet oriented with binary data and ACK/NAK handshaking. The host monitor can:

  • Choose the communication protocol by an input select line in the host cable
  • Request BISx™ hardware and software revision information
  • Send commands to the BISx™ system to change smoothing rate (making the BIS™ parameter more or less sensitive to sudden changes in patient measurements), change filter settings, and initiate a sensor check
