16.8 Choosing the BIS Smoothing Rate
The smoothing rage defines how the monitor averages the BIS value. To choose the
smoothing rate:
1. Select the BIS parameter window to enter the [BIS Setup] menu.
2. Select [Smoothing Rate] and then choose either:
 [15 s]: this gives increased responsiveness to changes in the patient’s state.
îš‹ [30 s]: this gives a smoother BIS trend with decreased variability and sensitivity to
artifacts.

Select the EEG wave to enter the [BIS EEG Waveform] menu. In this menu, you can:
îš„ Select [Scale] and then select the appropriate setting.
îš„ Select [Sweep] and then select the appropriate setting. The faster the wave sweeps, the
wider the wave is.
