Dow Jones Description

We develop, manufacture and market an anesthesia monitoring system that we call the BIS ® system. The BIS system is based on our patented core technology, the Bispectral Index, which we refer to as the BIS index. The BIS system provides information that allows clinicians to assess and manage a patients level of consciousness in the operating room, intensive care and procedural sedation settings and is intended to assist the clinician in better determining the amount of anesthesia or sedation needed by each patient. Our proprietary BIS system includes: our BIS monitor; BIS Module Kit, which includes components of BIS monitoring technology that are integrated into equipment sold by original equipment manufacturers, or BISx system, which allows original equipment manufacturers to incorporate the BIS index into their monitoring products; and our group of sensor products, which we collectively refer to as BIS Sensors.
