The BIS™ bilateral sensor captures EEG signals from the left and right hemispheres of the brain’s frontal cortex that are processed by the BIS™ algorithm.
Detect hemispheric differences in the brain.
BIS™ technology offers clinicians added security for providing specialized care and comfort for their patients, including those who may be more sensitive to the hemodynamic effects of anesthesia. Simultaneously monitoring the electroencephalograph (EEG) from both hemispheres of the brain enables the BIS™ brain monitoring system to detect and display any differences in EEG power between the two hemispheres.
BIS™ monitoring technology provides clinicians with valuable information about patient status to help address each patient’s unique anesthetic requirements. This technology may be particularly valuable for:
- Patients with complex conditions whose status may suddenly or frequently change
- Patients with cardiovascular conditions
- Obese patients
- Trauma patients or others requiring reduced levels of anesthesia
Features
The BIS™ bilateral sensor:
- Is a noninvasive sensor applied to the patient’s forehead
- Is designed for symmetrical placement to capture bi-hemispheric data
- Offers peel-and-stick simplicity and Zipprep™ technology
- Enables detection of hemispheric differences in the brain, which may prove useful for advanced monitoring applications†
- Collects EEG data using BIS™ technology
- Is resistant to artifact from electrocautery devices
