EXHIBIT A
of the Drager/Aspect Product Agreement
between Aspect Medical Systems, Inc.
and Drager Medizintechnik GmbH
Products
1.1 The Drager-BIS-Module will incorporate Aspect's BIS Module Kit.
Aspect's BIS 'Module Kit' is designed specifically for OEM applications
and allows the integration of Aspect's BIS monitoring technology into
OEM equipment. The BIS Engine will interface to the patient via the
Aspect BIS sensor and to the OEM equipment utilizing a serial (RS-232)
3-wire interface and the necessary power connections.
The BIS Module Kit consists of a Digital Signal Converter (DSC-2) that
is placed in proximity to the patient and a small circuit board that
resides in the OEM equipment. The DSC-2 is a small (palm sized)
front-end to the BIS Engine circuit board that provides the patient
interface and performs the high performance analog to digital
conversion of the EEG signals. The EEG signals are transmitted in
digital format from the DSC-2 to the BIS engine circuit board via a 12
foot cable that is hard wired connected at the DSC-2.
The BIS Engine circuit board measures 3 x 4 inches. This board performs
digital signal processing on the digitized EEG signal and outputs the
Bispectral Index to the OEM system via the RS-232 serial connection.
The board is constructed using double sided surface mount techniques.
The connections to the BIS Engine circuit board are a serial interface
(RS-232), power, and DSC connections.

As of January 1, 1999, the List Price for Aspect's BIS Sensor is
US$15.00 The actual amount of the discount off the U.S. List Price will
depend upon the volume of Aspect BIS Sensors shipped by Drager for use
with Drager-BIS-Modules. Prior to the shipment by Drager of the first
[**]Drager-BIS-Modules, the discount available to Drager for purchase
of the Aspect BIS Sensors will be set at [**] of Aspect's List Price
for the BIS Sensor in the United States. Following the shipment of the
first [**] Drager-BIS-Modules, the discount available to Drager will
depend upon the volume of Aspect BIS Sensors shipped each quarter
divided by the number of documented Drager-BIS-Modules installed minus
the first [**] Drager-BIS-Modules installed. Using this formula, the
Aspect BIS Sensor price schedule is as follows:

In the event that Drager requests that Aspect develop the Drager-BIS-Sensor,
Aspect will sell Drager-BIS-Sensors to Drager in accordance with the same
discount schedule as above, with possible additional costs as noted in Section
1.5 of Exhibit A.
According to Clause 2.1 of the Agreement Drager shall not distribute Sensors in
the USA. Therefore, Aspect will pay a commission to Drager of [**] of the
amounts paid by the customer for each Sensor shipped for use with a
Drager-BIS-Module in the USA.
