CONTRAINDICATION - Do NOT use this device on patients without cranial bone flap or have extensive scalp injury, bone defects (sections of skull missing), or any other conditions that deems to be a contraindication to performing monitoring using the brain4care device.
The best position for ICP waveform monitoring is at a resting supine position at 30 degrees with the chin and sternum aligned (Figure bellow). The head should not be tilted. The patient must be resting and avoiding any movements since it can interfere with the ICP waveform reading.
PRECAUTION - The patient position or movement and the BcSs-PICNIW-1000 and BcSs-PICNIW-2000 sensors is known to affect the signal being recorded. As a result, if multiple recording sessions are obtained on the same patient, consistent positioning of the patient and device will lead to more comparable recordings.
