Aspect Medical Systems, Inc.

Description

CORPORATE BACKGROUNDER Aspect Medical System's (NASDAQ: ASPM) was founded in 1987 to develop technology that could measure a then unknown element of patient status – the direct effect of drugs and disease on the brain. Today, Aspect is recognized as a pioneer and global market leader in brain monitoring, having led the way to develop proprietary technologies that directly measure these effects and ultimately improve the quality and cost effectiveness of patient care. Aspect's premier product — Bispectral Index (BIS) technology —became the first clinically proven and commercially available direct measure of the effects of anesthetics and sedatives on the brain. At present an estimated 20 million patients undergo surgery with general anesthesia or deep sedation each year in the United States, and an additional 30 million in Europe and Japan.
