SECTION 1 - Summary The first section is a summary of the monitoring session information including patient identification, monitoring session identification, and patient clinical context. Header (patient Identification and context):This section repeats itself as a header of every report page |
...
 Image Addedthis sub-section contains all information to uniquely identify a patient. Patient name: field used to identify the patient with his/her full name Nickname: field used to identify the patient with his preferred name or nickname. DoB - patient date of birth and current age; Patient ID - patient document ID (optional field) MRN: field to identify the appointment ID.
| Tip |
|---|
TIP - Monitoring sessions with the same MRN and DoB will be tied together in a PDF report as current and past monitoring sessions for comparison reasons.Monitoring observations: |
The second section gives an overview of the patient’s clinical context and overall session results. |

ATTENTION - These estimated P2/P1 peaks identified in this report are the most likely P1 and P2 positions derived from a statistical model based on the cardiac cycle of patients. The estimated P2/ P1 ratio shows the value of the division between the amplitude of peak P2 and the amplitude of peak P1. Values above 1.0 indicate that P2 is greater than P1 when monitored with the brain4care sensor. |
| Info |
|---|
ATTENTION - The B4C System is an operator dependent device that contains inherent variances and as such all confidence intervals should be considered by the health professional during interpretation of estimated waveform associated parameters. |
| Info |
|---|
ATTENTION - The surrogate waveform and estimated associated parameters are intended to be utilized to monitor relative variation in an individual patient’s intracranial pressure over time. |
| Note |
|---|
PRECAUTION - The derived P2/P1 ratio is an estimated value and therefore carries some uncertainty. The clinician is reminded to use their professional judgment when interpreting this and all waveform information in the report. |
| Warning |
|---|
WARNING - The B4C System does not replace a comprehensive clinical evaluation. The waveform output should always be evaluated by the clinician in conjunction with other clinical parameters or analyses |

SECTION 2 - Notes and comparisonThe second report section will give a summary of the current monitoring session with the additional information of clinical notes made during the monitoring session and also any historical monitoring sessions for longitudinal comparisons. | Tip |
|---|
TIP - Monitoring sessions with the same MRN and DoB of this monitoring report will be tied together in this section as current and past monitoring sessions comparison reasons. It is most commonly utilized for longitudinal patient analysis. |

ATTENTION - you may see following messages will appear in place of the average pulse waveform and associated parameters No Data - when no data for that minute was injected into the database Insufficient signal quality - when less than half of the six 10 second blocks of that minute did not pass the SNR (signal-to-noise) filter Insufficient sample size - at least half of expected pulses, based on derived BPM, were considered artifacts Difference between P2/P1 statistically non-significant - WHEN the smallest of P2 or P1 confidence intervals is bigger than 20% of pulse’s max amplitude OR the smallest of P2 or P1 max amplitudes MINUS max between P2 or P1 min amplitudes is greater than 30% of smallest of P2 or P1 confidence intervals Time to peak out of physiological limits - none of surrogate ICP pulses in that minute had a nTTP between 0 and 0.5
