NeuroWave NeuroSENSE NS-901
NeuroWave · Model NeuroSENSE NS-901
Bilateral Brain Monitoring: The NeuroSENSE Monitor is the first to offer independent bilateral indexes for each brain hemisphere, allowing anesthesia providers to simultaneously monitor brain activity from both sides of the brain during anesthesia or sedation. Instantaneous Response to Patient State Changes: Unlike traditional single-brain monitoring, the NeuroSENSE Monitor responds immediately to changes in patient state, providing real-time insight into anesthetic effects on the brain. Enhanced Clinical Decision-Making: With independent hemispheric measures, clinicians can easily detect discrepancies between brain hemispheres, which could be indicative of underlying pathologies or unrecognized artifacts. Improved Patient Safety: The enhanced bilateral brain activity analysis allows anesthesia providers to make optimal decisions based on a more accurate and reliable view of the patient’s brain state, improving overall patient safety. Real-Time, Simultaneous Monitoring: This system offers instantaneous bilateral brain activity monitoring, enabling doctors in the OR and ICU to quickly identify shifts in sedation or anesthesia levels across both hemispheres for more precise care. Tailored Anesthesia and Sedation: The NeuroSENSE Monitor allows providers to offer personalized sedation or anesthesia protocols based on the real-time data of both hemispheres, optimizing patient outcomes. With its innovative bilateral monitoring capabilities, the NeuroSENSE Monitor enhances clinical decision-making by delivering real-time, comprehensive data for safer and more effective anesthesia and sedation management. This monitor’s advanced features make it an invaluable tool for biomedical engineers and anesthesia providers who require precise and actionable insights into brain activity during surgical procedures or ICU sedation protocols. By incorporating the NeuroSENSE Monitor into patient care, clinicians gain a deeper understanding of the neurophysiological effects of anesthesia, leading to more informed decisions, improved patient safety, and optimized outcomes.
Key tips
- ·Electrode impedance drives data quality more than almost any other single factor - check it before assuming an amplifier fault.
- ·Pre-case verification of intraoperative monitoring equipment isn't optional - a mid-case failure has direct surgical-decision consequences.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Electrode / lead impedance check
- ·Amplifier calibration
- ·Annual electrical safety test
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Electrode impedance high
- Confirm the presentation - typically noisy / flat channels, impedance alarm - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: dry gel, poor contact.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the eEG electrode cap / cup per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
