BIS™ Advance Monitor
The proposed BIS™ target range is as follows:
Parameter Recommended Target Range
BIS 40-60
For other alarms, there is no recommended target range, but the user can set the
limit in the available range, as follows:
Parameter Available Range
SR SR High: 1 to 100, in increments of 1
SEF 0 to 29 for Low SEF limit, 1 to 30 for High
SEF limit (there must be a gap of at least 1
between the Low and High limits)
In order to verify operator-set alarm limits, attach a sensor to the system (as described
in 3.6.2 Connecting a Sensor to a Patient on page 78) and make a note of the SEF value
shown on the screen during monitoring. Then, remove the sensor and set the SEF
target range (as described in 4.3.7 Changing Alarms Settings on page 168) to a range
that excludes that number. For example, if the sensor is showing SEF numbers
between 27 and 28, set SEF High at 20. Re-attach the sensor and start monitoring. If
the system is working correctly, an SEF High alarm should sound. This will verify that
the monitor’s alarm limits function is working correctly. Remove the sensor.
Once you have finished verifying the alarm limits, set the alarms as desired, or
inactivate the alarms if desired, and begin monitoring.
