INTRODUCING THE BIS VIEW MONITORING SYSTEM

Introduction
The BIS VIEW Monitoring System is a user-configurable patient monitoring system designed to monitor the hypnotic state of the brain based on acquisition and processing of EEG signals. The BIS VIEW system processes raw EEG signals to produce a single number, called the Bispectral Index™, or BIS, which correlates with the patient's level of hypnosis.

The BIS VIEW monitor display consists of:
• The current BIS number
• Trend graph of BIS values over time
• Raw EEG waveforms in real time
• Various signal quality indicators (EMG, SQI, SR)
• Alarm Indicator and Messages

The system performs self-tests to ensure that the monitor and its components are functioning properly and that impedance levels of patient sensors are within acceptable limits. Easy-to-use menus allow the user to change the data display and review stored data.
