Aspect Medical Aspect's current clinical focus is to improve the medical care given to every patient who requires anesthesia or sedation, whether in the operating room, the intensive care unit, or other clinical setting. By directly monitoring a patient's level of consciousness, Aspect's BIS technology helps clinicians determine and administer the precise amount of drug to meet the needs of each individual patient, providing significant benefits for patients and healthcare institutions. BIS works by using a sensor that is placed on the patient's forehead to measure electrical activity in the brain and translate it into a number between 100 (wide awake) and zero (absence of brain electrical activity). BIS technology is available as a stand-alone monitor, or as a modular solution integrated into leading manufacturers' monitoring systems. A-2000 Monitor Proven Architecture Multiple processor technology provides the computational power necessary to calculate the complex BIS algorithm Sigma-Delta A/D converter provides superior signal fidelity Small, Lightweight and Compact, Accommodates the space limitations of the crowded anesthesia workstation Only 3.1 lbs, maximizing portability and ease of handling Can be mounted on an IV pole, anesthesia cart, or flat surface
