SECTION 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
________________________________________________________________________
Avoid liquid ingress to the Patient Interface Cable. Contact of fluids with the PIC
sensor connector can interfere with PIC performance.
Considerations when using Electro-Convulsive Therapy (ECT) equipment during
BIS monitoring: Place ECT electrodes as far as possible from the BIS sensor to
minimize the effect of interference. Certain ECT equipment may interfere with the
proper function of the BIS monitoring system. Check for compatibility of equipment
during patient setup.
Check the battery periodically by operating a BIS VIEW monitor that has been
disconnected from the wall socket and that has been charged to full capacity (at least
6 hours of charge time). After long periods of storage, charge the battery for 6 hours
to assure full capacity. If the BIS VIEW monitor fails to operate reliably from the
battery for approximately 45 minutes, battery replacement is required.
The BIS VIEW monitor contains an internal lithium ion battery. The battery must be
removed by a qualified service technician and disposed of or recycled in accordance
with the national laws of the country. Contact Aspect Medical Systems, Inc. or the
local distributor for a replacement battery, P/N 186-0208.
All repairs to the BIS VIEW Monitoring System should be made only by a qualified
Biomedical Engineering Technician or other authorized personnel.
Use only the parts and tools specified. Use of any others may damage the
instrument.
Using accessories other than those specified may result in increased electromagnetic
emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the BIS VIEW Monitoring
System.
The BIS VIEW Monitor should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the BIS VIEW monitor should be
observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
Do not block ventilation inlet holes on the underside of monitor.
Do not open the BISx. The seal to prevent liquids from entering the BISx may be
damaged if opened. Service or repairs must be performed only by qualified
biomedical technicians.
The BIS VIEW system has been designed to operate with a BIS Sensor. The sensor
is a silver/silver chloride electrode array that utilizes Aspect's patented Zipprep
technology and uses a proprietary connector. Use of other electrodes is not
recommended.
Do not disconnect the BISx during a BISx software upgrade.
