BIS™ Advance Monitor
2.2.6. The BIS™ Sensor Simulator
In addition to patient sensors, the BIS Sensor Simulator is also available. It is a service
tool that allows for the verification of proper impedance values being detected by
the BIS Advance monitor during the sensor check. This sensor is used for testing
purposes only.
If the sensor does not pass the sensor check process, check the following:
1. Ascertain if the PIC cable is functioning properly by running the sensor
check with the Sensor Simulator attached to the patient end of the PIC
cable instead of a sensor.
2. If the PIC cable functions correctly with the Sensor Simulator, and the
Sensor Simulator passes the sensor check process, replace the sensor.
3. If the Sensor Simulator does not pass the sensor check process, replace the
PIC and/or the entire BISx module.
For more information about the sensor check process, reference 3.6.3 Sensor Check on
page 82.
