18-4 Dash™ 3000/4000/5000 2000966-386D
Monitoring Bispectral Index (BIS)
WARNING
CABLES—Route all cables away from the patient’s throat to avoid
possible strangulation.
WARNING
—The BISx may remain connected to a patient during defibrillation
as long as the sensor is not located between the defibrillator pads.
CAUTION
—Due to elevated surface temperature, do not place the BISx in
prolonged direct contact with the patient.
CAUTION
—Continuous impedance checking may need to be disabled if the
impedance check signal interferes with other equipment.
Monitoring
To verify that you are ready to monitor BIS, follow this procedure.
1. Verify BISx is securely mounted to an IV pole, bedrail or clipped to a bedsheet.
2. Connect the BISx communication cable in the AUX connector on the back of the
monitor.
3. Connect BISx to an AC power source.
4. Position the sensor on the patient. For more information, refer to the sensor
packaging or the GE “Critical Care Monitoring Clinical Reference and
Troubleshooting Guide”.
5. Insert the BIS sensor paddle into the patient interface cable.
6. Admit the patient to the monitor.
7. Verify that patient data displays in the BIS parameter window.
8. Verify that the SQI value indicates a strong signal.
9. Verify that a good quality waveform displays.
10. Adjust the control settings as necessary.
Control Settings
To adjust the control settings for the patient admitted to the monitor, select the BIS
parameter window label. Then select any of the following options and make the
desired changes.
