3.1 PREPARING FOR OPERATION
After you have familiarized yourself with the safety information in the introductory section
of this manual, prepared a suitable environment, properly connected the DSC and PIC
cables, and completed the settings in the Setup and Advanced Setup Menus, follow
these steps to prepare the A-2000 system for operation.
1. Power ON and System Check
Press the button on the lower right side of the monitor to turn the power on. The
system will initiate a self-test to make sure that all equipment is operating properly.
2. Attach BIS Sensor to Patient
Prepare sensor site and place the BIS Sensor on the patient in accordance with the
instructions included on the sensor packaging.
Cautions:
Each BIS sensor type has its own placement method. Be sure to
carefully follow the appropriate package directions.
The A-2000 has been designed to operate with a disposable BIS
Sensor. The sensor is a silver/silver chloride electrode array that
utilizes Aspect's patented Zipprep technology and uses a
proprietary connector. Use of other electrodes is not recommended.
