CONTRAINDICATION - Do NOT use this device on patients without cranial bone flap or have extensive scalp injury, bone defects (sections of skull missing), or any other conditions that deems to be a contraindication to performing monitoring using the brain4care device.
The optimal position for ICP waveform monitoring is with the patient in a resting supine position at a 30-degree angle, with the chin and sternum aligned (see figure figures below). Ensure the head is not tilted. The patient should remain still to avoid interference with the ICP waveform reading.

PRECAUTION - The patient position or movement and the BcSs-PICNIW-1000 and BcSs-PICNIW-2000 sensors is known to affect the signal being recorded. As a result, if multiple recording sessions are obtained on the same patient, consistent positioning of the patient and device will lead to more comparable recordings. |
