BIS™ Brain Monitoring External Interface OEM Solutions

Based on the scientifically validated BIS™ algorithm, BIS™ brain monitoring technology uses innovative technology to link patient-specific EEG information to the individual clinical state of each patient.

Clinical benefits of BIS™ brain monitoring technology

Anaesthesia-related clinical benefits include:

• Up to 23% decrease in anaesthetic drug use([FOOTNOTE=Gan TJ, Glass PS, Windsor A, et al. Bispectral index monitoring allows faster emergence and improved recovery from propofol, alfentanil, and nitrous oxide anesthesia. BIS™ Utility Study Group. Anesthesiology. 1997;87:808-815.

• Up to 40% faster wake-up time¹
• Faster recovery and extubation times([FOOTNOTE=Punjasawadwong Y, Boonjeungmonkol N, Phongchiewboon A. Bispectral index for improving anaesthetic delivery and postoperative recovery.

• 87% increase in “excellent/fully oriented” status on PACU admission¹
• 32% faster eligibility for PACU discharge([FOOTNOTE=White PF, Ma H, Tang J, et al.
