Aspect Medical gets FDA OK for sedated patient monitoring device

by Michael Johns, Project Manager | March 03, 2004

The BISx, according to the company, is designed to integrate with a wide range of patient monitoring platforms sold by leading monitoring manufacturers.

The BIS monitoring converts the electroencephalogram (EEG) information into a number that represents each patient's level of consciousness by using a sensor placed on the patient's forehead. The BIS value may then be used by clinicians to make informed decisions for optimal anesthesia or sedation.

"BIS is the only consciousness monitoring technology that offers widespread availability and compatibility." Nassib Chamoun, president and CEO of Aspect.

Ensure critical devices are ready to go

Keep biomedical devices ready to go, so care teams can be ready to care for patients. GE HealthCare’s ReadySee™ helps overcome frustrations due to lack of network and device visibility, manual troubleshooting, and downtime.

Patient monitoring solutions with BISx technology are expected to begin shipping later this spring.
