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 BISx and PIC
cables, and completed the initial settings described in Section 2, follow these steps to prepare
the BIS VISTA Monitoring System for operation.
1. Startup and System Check
Press the ON/Standby button on the lower right corner of the monitor to start the monitor.
The light changes from yellow to green, and the system initiates 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.
Caution:
The BIS VISTA Monitoring System has been designed to operate with
a 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.
