BIS VISTA Monitoring System

Introducing the BIS VISTA Monitoring System

The BIS VISTA Monitoring System is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner or by personnel trained in its proper use. The BIS VISTA Monitor is intended for use on adult and pediatric patients within a hospital or medical facility providing patient care to monitor the state of the brain by data acquisition of EEG signals. 

The BIS may be used as an aid in monitoring the effects of certain anesthetic agents. Use of BIS monitoring to help guide anesthetic administration may be associated with the reduction of the incidence of awareness with recall in adults during general anesthesia and sedation. 

The BIS VISTA Monitoring System processes raw EEG signals to produce a single number, called the Bispectral Index, or BIS, which correlates to the patient’s level of hypnosis. It operates from an AC power source of 100V to 240V, 50/60Hz, and provides approximately 45 minutes of automatic back-up battery power. 

The monitor is menu-driven with on-screen touch keys. A detailed description of how the BIS VISTA Monitoring System works is included in the BIS VISTA Operating Manual. Please refer to the BIS VISTA Operating Manual for additional information.
