INTRODUCING THE BIS VISTA MONITORING SYSTEM

Introduction
The BIS VISTA Monitoring System is a user-configurable patient monitoring system designed to monitor the hypnotic state of the brain based on acquisition and processing of EEG signals. The BIS VISTA system processes raw EEG signals to produce a single number, called the Bispectral Index, or BIS, which correlates with the patient's level of hypnosis.

The BIS VISTA monitor display consists of:
• The current BIS number
• Trend graphs of processed EEG parameters
• Raw EEG waveforms in real time
• Various signal quality indicators (EMG, SQI)
• Suppression Ratio (if requested by the user)
• Burst Count number (when a BIS Extend Sensor is in use)
• Alarm Indicator and Messages

The system performs self-tests to ensure that the monitor and its components are functioning properly and that impedance levels of patient sensors are within acceptable limits. Touch screen menus allow the user to change the data display and review stored data.
