The BcSs-PICNIW-1000 sensor is placed on the patient with a headband that transmits the captured signal to the BcAc-DG-1000 receiver module and / or mobile device that has the brain4care app installed. The mobile application allows the visualization of monitoring reports processed in brain4care analytics.

3.5.2 bcss-picniw-1000 sensor module
The BcSs-PICNIW-1000 sensor module monitors intracranial pressure by measuring the cranial casing volumetric variation. The monitoring process is performed by positioning the sensor in the patient’s head, and the information is sent using Bluetooth wireless technology, to the other modules. The sensor is powered by a rechargeable external battery which together with the internal battery allows for 24 hours of continuous monitoring autonomy.Figure 3.5-2 BcSs-PICNIW sensor module.

3.5.3 bcac-dg-1000 receiver module
The BcAc-DG-1000 receiver module (dongle) enables the captured waveform reproduction on a multiparameter patient monitor. This transmission is done by pairing the sensor, which transmits data via Bluetooth, and the receiver, which transmits the same data by connecting to the monitor’s invasive pressure input. There are several versions of receivers, each with the connector adapted for a monitor model. Please see Appendix 2 for more options.

3.5.6 brain4care app
The brain4care app can be used on tablets or mobile phones running Android 7.0 or higher with a minimum of 2 GB of RAM and Bluetooth® 4.2 or 5.0. It is intended to connect with the BcSs-PICNIW-1000 sensor and the BcAc-DG-1000 receiver. The app allows for real-time visualization of the sensor waveform and trend, that along with patient data, are sent to the cloud system where a monitoring report is processed and generated.
