Depth of Anesthesia Monitoring (BIS): E-BIS-01 Module (M1127542) and BIS Module (6800-30-50851)

Monitoring the depth of anesthesia is one of the anesthesiologist's key tasks during general anesthesia. Anesthesia that is too light risks intraoperative awareness for the patient; too deep — delayed emergence and increased load on the cardiovascular system. BIS technology (bispectral index) allows the depth of sedation to be assessed objectively from the electroencephalogram.

In this guide we look at two hardware solutions from the BIS line in the MediAccessori catalog: M1127542 (E-BIS-01) — a depth of anesthesia monitoring module with a head box, and 6800-30-50851 — a BIS module. This is practical material for clinics servicing GE monitors and anesthesia machines.

1. What the bispectral index (BIS) is

BIS is a dimensionless index from 0 to 100 that is continuously calculated from electroencephalogram data:

  • •100 — the patient is conscious.
  • •80–100 — light sedation.
  • •60–80 — moderate sedation/anesthesia.
  • •40–60 — optimal depth of surgical anesthesia.
  • •<40 — deep anesthesia, risk of delayed emergence.

The target range for most operations is 40–60. BIS monitoring is especially indicated for total intravenous anesthesia, when there is no way to judge depth from the concentration of the inhaled anesthetic.

2. How the BIS hardware loop is structured

A typical loop includes:

  1. Head box — connects to the patient (electrodes/sensors) and transmits the EEG signal.
  2. BIS module — installed in a slot of the monitor or anesthesia machine, processes the signal and calculates the index.
  3. Monitor/screen — displays the BIS number and trend.

In our catalog:

  • •M1127542 (E-BIS-01) — depth of anesthesia monitoring module with a head box (as stated in the item name: "BIS bispectral index module with head box").
  • •6800-30-50851 — BIS module (item "BIS Module").

Exact compatibility depends on the platform of your equipment. Before ordering, send us the device model — an engineer will confirm compatibility.

5. How to determine which module is needed

Step 1. Identify the platform The make and model of the patient monitor or anesthesia machine where the BIS will be used.

Step 2. Check the interface Whether there is a free slot for the module, what connector type it is, which head box is required.

Step 3. Verify the PN Match against the nomenclature M1127542 / 6800-30-50851. If in doubt, send a photo of the equipment.

6. Replacement and service

  • •After installation, most platforms automatically recognize the module and run self-diagnostics.
  • •Complex manual calibration is usually not required, but confirmation of version compatibility by an engineer is a mandatory step.
  • •Periodically check the condition of the cables and contacts of the head box.

7. Common mistakes

  • •Selection without the equipment model. BIS modules are tied to the platform.
  • •Confusion between M1127542 and 6800-30-50851. These are different items (with and without a head box).
  • •Ordering without confirming compatibility. Send the model and a photo before payment.
  • •Ignoring the software version. Confirm whether the monitor software supports the specific module.

8. Delivery and procurement

MediAccessori supplies GE Healthcare modules (original and compatible) to Russia and the CIS countries:

  • •Lead time is confirmed when the order is placed.
  • •Rare items: lead time is confirmed when the order is placed.
  • •We provide documentation and help with selection by PN.

9. How to order

  1. Write to Telegram @GEpartsV_bot or to email [email protected].
  2. Specify the monitor/anesthesia machine model and the required PN (M1127542 or 6800-30-50851).
  3. An engineer will confirm compatibility and issue a quotation.
  4. Contract/invoice, prepayment, delivery, installation.

Frequently asked questions

What is BIS (bispectral index) monitoring and why is it important in anesthesia?
BIS is a dimensionless 0–100 index calculated from the electroencephalogram: 40–60 indicates a suitable depth of surgical anesthesia, >80 indicates too light (risk of intraoperative awareness), <40 indicates too deep (possible delayed emergence). It helps the anesthesiologist avoid intraoperative awareness or excessively deep anesthesia during surgery.
What is the difference between E-BIS-01 (M1127542) and the BIS module (6800-30-50851)?
Both are BIS monitoring hardware of the GE/compatible line. M1127542 (E-BIS-01) refers to the bispectral index depth of consciousness monitoring module together with the head box (module + head box); 6800-30-50851 refers to the BIS module itself. Choose the corresponding PN according to your monitor/anesthesia machine hardware and interface.
How do I determine whether my monitor needs E-BIS-01 or 6800-30-50851?
Confirm the make and model of the monitor/anesthesia machine, the existing module slot interface, and the BIS-related PN listed in the original surgical sheet/BOM. If unsure, send the device model and a photo to our engineers and place the order after compatibility is confirmed.
Does the BIS module need calibration or special settings after replacement?
Most monitors automatically recognize the module after installation and perform a self-test; whether manual calibration is specifically required depends on the device platform. Usually no complex calibration is needed, but it is recommended that an engineer confirm the connection and version compatibility.
Supply and delivery of the E-BIS-01 / BIS module?
MediAccessori supplies GE Healthcare compatible/original modules directly to Russia and the CIS, with the lead time subject to order confirmation. For a quotation, please provide the device model and PN.
