The BIS™ monitoring system provides a direct measurement of the patient’s level of consciousness and insight into the effects of anesthesia on the brain.
Too much or too little anesthesia can be associated with challenges such as longer recovery times and postoperative neurocognitive disorders. The BIS™ technology reflects the anesthetic effect on each patient’s brain which helps you to personalize dosing to improve emergence and recovery times.1–4
Ths BIS™ monitor translates the raw EEG data into the easy-to-read BIS™ index.
Both 2-channel and 4-channel monitors provide:
The 4-channel monitor provides:
Use up to 38% less anesthetic agents to help control cost.1, 5-8
Patients monitored with BIS™ technology have been shown to wake up 27–53% faster in the OR.1,7-9
87% increase in “excellent/fully oriented” status on PACU admission.8
The BIS™ monitoring system should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or therapy and is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. Reliance on the BIS™ monitoring system alone for intraoperative anesthetic management is not recommended.
