BIS VIEW Monitor
Figure 6 - The BIS VIEW Data Flow Diagram
After passing through input protection circuits, the EEG signals are differentially amplified
and filtered to remove DC and high frequency components. The signals are digitized by
separate one bit sigma-delta analog to digital converters and sent to the Digital Signal
Processor (DSP). The DSP filters the signals and computes the processed variables. The
results are passed to the monitor for display.
3.2.1 The BISx
The BISx contains the inputs, amplifiers, and digitizers for two channels of EEG, and
contains the circuits to digitally process the EEG data and compute the processed
parameters. It has a single point connection that connects via a Patient Interface Cable (PIC)
to a BIS sensor. The sensor and PIC contain circuits for identifying them to the monitor.
This permits the monitor to configure automatically.
The BISx acquires and processes the EEG signals and also contains circuits for injecting
self-test voltages into the amplifier inputs. It constantly monitors the combined source
impedance from the sensor electrodes and is able to measure the individual impedance of
