Manual Sensor Check
The user can start a sensor check manually when a sensor is already connected to the
monitor, if desired, perhaps because the user is actively monitoring a patient, but no
BISvalue is displayed, or if the clinician suspects that the BIS™ value does not align
with the clinical assessment of the patient. This option is available only when a BISx
module and a sensor are connected to the monitor or when the monitor is in DEMO
mode. (In the latter case, this is just for demonstration purposes.)
Click the Sensor Check button in the left bar menu (on the left side of the screen)
to begin a sensor check. The sensor check will proceed as described in 3.6.3 Sensor
Check on page 82.
As with the automatic sensor check, if the sensor passes the sensor check,
monitoring will begin automatically. If the sensor fails, monitoring will not begin, and
the sensor should be replaced. An on-screen message will display this information.
