Monitoring BIS
16-4
16.4 Setting up the BIS Measurement
1. Connect the BISx model to the BIS module.
2. Use the attachment clip to secure the BISx model near, but not above the level of the
patient’s head.
3. Connect the BISx model to the patient cable.
4. Attach the BIS sensor to the patient following the instructions supplied with sensor.
NOTE
z Make sure the patient’s skin is dry. A wet sensor or a salt bridge could result in
erroneous BIS and impedance values.
5. Connect the BIS sensor to the patient interface cable. As soon as a valid sensor is
detected, the impedances of all electrodes are measured automatically and the
impedance value for each electrode is displayed in the sensor check window.
CAUTION
z Do not attach the BISx model to the patient’s skin for long time. Otherwise, the
BISx heats while on the patient and may cause discomfort.
