Patient Monitor User Manual
6 The conductive parts of electrodes or sensor and connectors should not contact
other conductive parts, including earth.
7 To reduce the hazard of burns during use of brain-stimulating devices (e.g.,
transcranial electrical motor evoked potential), place stimulating electrodes as far as
possible from the BIS sensor and make certain that sensor is placed according to
package instructions.
8 The sensor must not be located between defibrillator pads when a defibrillator is
used on a patient connected to the BISx device.
9 To minimize the risk of patient strangulation, the patient interface cable (PIC) must
be carefully placed and secured.
10 Universal precautions shall be observed to prevent contact with blood or other
potentially infectious materials. Place contaminated materials in regulated waste
container.
11 Whenever an event such as spillage of blood or solutions occurs, re-test ground
leakage current before further use.
12 Do not reuse the BIS sensor.
1 Do not autoclave the BISx device. Autoclaving will seriously damage the
components.
2 Do not open the BISx device for any reason.
3 The BISx device 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.
4 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 BISx device. Check for compatibility of equipment during patient
setup.
5 Avoid liquid ingress to the Patient Interface Cable. Contact of fluids with the PIC
sensor connector can interfere with PIC performance.
6 When connecting or disconnecting the BISx device, take care not to touch the
exposed contacts of either connector. Damage due to electrostatic discharge may
result.
