WARNING:
DUE TO ELEVATED SURFACE TEMPERATURE, DO NOT
PLACE BISx IN PROLONGED DIRECT CONTACT WITH
PATIENT’S SKIN, AS IT MAY CAUSE DISCOMFORT.
Caution:
Do not open BISx for any reason. The seal to prevent liquids from
entering the BISx may be damaged if opened. Service or repairs must
be performed only by qualified biomedical technicians.
2.3.3 Patient Interface Cable (PIC)
Aspect's BIS Sensor Patient Interface Cable (PIC) (see Figure 3) connects the BISx to the
BIS sensor.
2.3.4 BIS Sensors
The sensor is the single use component of the BIS Monitoring System and should be
replaced after each use. For details on how to apply the sensor to the patient and how to
connect to the BIS Monitoring System, refer to the BIS Sensor’s instructions for use. All
sensors, including the BIS Extend Sensor, utilize the monitor’s saved settings (such as
smoothing rate).
2.4 Cable Connections
After you have familiarized yourself with the safety information in the introductory section
of this manual and have prepared a suitable environment, follow these steps to prepare the
BIS VISTA system for operation.
1. Connect the BISx to the monitor
Holding the cylindrical connector with the flat side up, plug the BISx Monitor
Interface Cable into the BISx port on the front of the monitor.
Once connected, the BISx need not be disconnected again. However, if you wish to
disconnect the BISx cable from the monitor, carefully grasp the connector and pull.
DO NOT pull on the cable.
2. Connect the PIC to the BISx
Attach the gray connector of the Patient Interface Cable to the BISx.
Notes:
Connect with the BIS logo facing up for proper pin alignment. To disconnect the PIC, grasp
the connector housing and pull firmly. DO NOT pull apart by the cable wire.
