PATIENT P REPARATION
VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 25-3
Patient Preparation
Careful skin preparation and proper sensor placement provide strong signals with
minimal artifact. In case of a technical alarm (for example, when the message Sensor
check failed appears), re-prep the patient and press electrodes firmly to make good
contact.
Use only Dräger sensors (see page C-28). To achieve a good quality signal, change
sensor every 24 hours. Follow the sensor package instructions for patient skin
preparation and correct placement.
Display Features
BIS parameters are displayed in the BIS parameter box. An associated EEG waveform
can also be displayed.
In the BIS parameter box, the display of BIS alarms, alarm limits, and parameter
values follows the standard display of other parameters.

5EMG label and bar graph
The bar graph represents the EMG values
as follows:
• 0 to 30 – the bar is empty
• 30 to 55 – the bar is filled proportionally
• 55 and over – the bar is filled in
