Monitoring
Patient preparation
Careful preparation of the skin as well as correct
positioning of the electrodes is crucial for the gen-
eration of distinct signals.
BIS safety instructions
CAUTION
Only use accessories approved by Dräger. Other-
wise, correct functioning may be impaired.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock all the cables must be
checked carefully before use. No liquids must
be allowed to drip onto connectors, elec-
trodes or electrode leads.
WARNING
Check cables and sensors for damage before
use. Risk of electric shock and distortion of
measuring results.
CAUTION
Use undamaged sensors and packaging only.
WARNING
Conductive parts of the electrodes and con-
nections (including the neutral electrode)
must not come into contact with other con-
ductive parts (including grounded parts).
WARNING
When using an electrocautery scalpel during
surgery the scalpel must not come into con-
tact with the BIS sensor. Risk of electric
shock!
WARNING
The electrodes should not be located between
the operating field and the return electrode of
the electrosurgical device. Otherwise, there
may be a risk of burns if the neutral surgical
high-frequency electrode is faulty.

WARNING
If a BISx pod and a defibrillator are being used
simultaneously, do not position the BIS sen-
sor between the defibrillator and the patient!
Risk of electric shock!
WARNING
When fitting the module, make sure there is
sufficient heat dissipation and that there can
be no direct contact between the patient and
the exterior of the module. Risk of burns!
WARNING
Operation of the BISx module during magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) is not supported at
present.
WARNING
To prevent strangulation risks the BIS sensor
cable must be positioned and attached care-
fully.
CAUTION
A correctly positioned BISx module is attached to
the infusion apparatus stand, bars of the bed or
the bed sheet.
CAUTION
In the event of a continuous reduction in BIS sig-
nal, skin irritations or intense perspiration replace
the sensor more frequently.
NOTE
When interpreting the BIS together with other clin-
ical signs available, a clinical assessment must al-
ways be used in addition. Solely relying on the
BIS when administering intraoperative anesthetic
agents and sedatives is not recommended.
