Aspect Medical Systems
Aspect Medical Systems was a medical devices company founded in 1987 then acquired in 2009 by Covidien. The company pioneered the use of brain monitoring to measure level of consciousness for anesthesia patients in the operating room. After a series of acquisitions, the company's brand name and assets are currently owned by Medtronic, which still produces BIS-branded sensors and monitors.
Aspect Medical Systems was founded in 1987 by Nassib G. Chamoun.
In October 1996, the FDA cleared the Bispectral Index (BIS) for marketing for use as a direct measure of the effects of anesthetics and sedatives on the brain.
In 1998, the company opened their international headquarters in The Netherlands.
Aspect Medical Systems had their initial public offering on January 28, 2000, and their stock was traded on the NASDAQ using the symbol ASPM.
In 2000, the company began a three-year long series of clinical trials, involving over 30,000 patients.
In October 2003, the FDA cleared a new indication for use specifying that use of BIS monitoring to help guide anesthetic administration may be associated with the reduction of the incidence of awareness with recall in adults during general anesthesia and sedation.
As of December 31, 2003, the worldwide installed base of BIS monitors and modules was approximately 19,500 units.
