4 QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
This “Quick Reference Guide” is intended only as an operating checklist for users
already familiar with the A-2000 BIS Monitor. Do not proceed unless you have read the
“Important Safety Precautions” (Section 1 of this manual).
BASIC OPERATION
If the A-2000 has already been installed, but has been turned off (after a previous
surgery, for example), proceed as follows:
1. Verify that all power and other cables are connected properly.
• The DSC’s long cable to the DSC port on the monitor.
• The Patient Interface Cable to the short “DSC pigtail” extending from the DSC
unit.
2. Press the button on the right side of the monitor to turn the power on. The
system will initiate a self-test to ensure that all equipment is operating properly.
3. Prepare sensor site and place BIS Sensor on the patient in accordance with
manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Using the attachment clip, secure the DSC to a convenient location near the
patient’s head.
5. Insert the BIS Sensor tab into the PIC connector until fully engaged.
You are now ready to begin monitoring. A list of features and how to find them follows,
for those familiar with operation. For detailed operating instructions and software
configuration, read Sections 2 and 3. Current settings may be viewed at any time by
viewing the appropriate menu. (See chart on next page.)
