3.4.1 Sensor
BcSs-PICNIW-2000 sensor
The sensor module BcSs-PICNIW-2000 has exactly sensor offers the same applications and functionalities as the BcSs-PICNIW-1000 model sensor but in a lighter format, with . It features an intuitive visual interface, ergonomic design, and integrated integration with the fixation tapeheadband. The sensor module has only one includes a single internal battery and features supports inductive charging with an approximate autonomy of , providing approximately 10 hours of continuous monitoring.
BcSs-PICNIW-1000 sensor
The BcSs-PICNIW-1000 sensor module monitors intracranial pressure by measuring the cranial volumetric variation. The monitoring process is performed by positioning the sensor in the sensor is positioned on the patient’s head, and the information is sent using data is transmitted to other components via Bluetooth wireless technology to the other modules(mobile app and/or dongle). The sensor is powered by a rechargeable external battery, which together , along with the internal battery allows for , provides up to 24 hours of continuous monitoring autonomy.
Sensor model The BcSs-PICNIW-2000 has sensor model features an integrated turnbuckle with a strap with that offers two adjustments on each side for combined with a turnbuckle the fine adjustmentsfine-tuning the fit. Two models are available to cover small accommodate different head sizes: one for smaller heads (42 to 55 cm) and another for larger heads (50 to 63 cm).

3.4.5 Receiver (optional)
The BcAc-DG-1000 receiver module (dongle) enables allows the captured waveform reproduction to be displayed 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 It receives data transmitted wirelessly from the sensor via Bluetooth and then relays this information to the monitor’s invasive pressure input. There are several Different versions of receivers, each with the connector adapted for a monitor model. Please see Appendix 2 for more optionsthe receiver are available, each designed to fit specific monitor models. For details on available options, please refer to Appendix 2.
