    BcSs-PICNIW-1000 sensor

    module

    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.

    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.
