back to indexThe B4C System is comprised of a sensor (BcSs-PICNIW-1000 or BcSs-PICNIW-2000) that is placed on the patient with a headband that transmits the captured signal to a mobile device that has the brain4care app installed. The mobile application allows the visualization of monitoring reports processed by a connected brain4care analytics.Anchor

The BcSs-PICNIW-2000 sensor model features an integrated turnbuckle with a strap that offers two adjustments on each side for fine-tuning the fit. Two models are available to accommodate different head sizes: one for smaller heads (42 to 55 cm) and another for larger heads (50 to 63 cm).
BcSs-PICNIW-2000 sensor charger
The charger for the BcSs-PICNIW-2000 sensor is designed for wireless, inductive charging. To charge the sensor, place it on the charger with the logo and button facing upwards, then connect the charger to the AC adapter. When correctly positioned, the sensor light will illuminate, indicating that charging is in progress.

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 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.

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 options.
the receiver are available, each designed to fit specific monitor models. For details on available options, please refer to Annex 2.
