3.4.0 System components
The components that comprise a B4C System licence agreement are:
Sensor (model: BcSs-PICNIW-1000 or BcSs-PICNIW-2000);
Receiver (model: BcAc-DG-1000) (optional);
brain4care mobile app, iOS or Android;
Sensor battery charger; (accessory);
Sensor user guide;
3.4.1 System description
A summary of operation of the components that make up the system is shown in Figure 3.4-3.
The sensor (BcSs-PICNIW-1000 or BcSs-PICNIW-2000) 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

modulekit
The sensor moduleBcSs-PICNIW-2000
has exactly the same applications and functionalities as thesensor
The BcSs-PICNIW-
2000 sensor features an intuitive visual interface, ergonomic design, and integrated
headband. The sensor
includes a single internal battery and
supports inductive charging
and provides up to 10 hours of continuous monitoring.

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
monitors intracranial pressure by measuring
cranial volumetric variation. The
sensor is positioned on the patient’s head, and the
data is transmitted to other components via Bluetooth wireless technology
(mobile app and/or dongle). The sensor is powered by a rechargeable external battery , which
, along with the internal battery
, provides up to 24 hours of continuous monitoring autonomy.

module.3.4.4 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.
