BIS
23-11
Impedance Montage
If, during BIS monitoring, you wish to test impedance without losing your trended
data, you can perform an impedance test. An impedance test is automatically
checked (or tested) every 10-minutes.
The impedance montage is a temporary display that appears when the BIS
sensor is connected to a patient and you touch the TEST ELECT key (refer to
TEST ELECT Key on page 23-15).
The montage displays on the right side of the screen to the right of the second
wave zone area from the top.

Remote View Display Format
The “Remote View” software option on Ultraview monitors allows you to view the
BIS parameter from a remote monitor. This display shows the BIS plot in a single
display zone format. No analog waveforms are available in this mode.
Figure 23-10: Remote display
Remote monitors permit one display zone to be used to display remote channels
from other monitors, regardless of the type and the number of zones that are in
use at the bedside monitor. When viewing the BIS from another monitor, the lower
part of the BIS trend will not be visible due to the patient’s name being there.

• All processing is suspended until you stop the impedance test
by touching EXIT ELECT.
