Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether wireless transmission of invasive arterial blood pressure signal (by HMW 10 Wireless System) from patient to patient's bedside monitor is feasible, safe and as accurate as conventional cable connection.

Detailed description

The technology for invasive arterial blood pressure measurement in emergency room, operating theater, recovery room and intensive care unit is well established and uses pressure sensor connected via cable to patient's bedside monitor. The wireless sensors result in reduction of wires attached to the patient and may enhance nursing, treatment and transportation of patients in aforementioned setting. The HMW 10 Wireless System was developed and incorporates wireless transmission of patient's signal. The purpose of the study was to measure the quality of data transmitted through the HMW 10 Wireless System, and to demonstrate that the quality of the data meets the requirements of European Directive 93/42/EEC (Medical Device Directive - MDD) and EN/IEC 60601-1 and EN/IEC 60601-2-34.

Conditions

• Multiple Trauma
• Shock
• Atrial Fibrillation
• Perioperative/Postoperative Complications

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Wireless invasive blood pressure monitoring (Hybymed® Wireless IBPM System)	The readings of invasive arterial pressure were obtained from 2 identical pressure transducers, connected to a common arterial line via a Y connector. Data was collected from one transducer via a direct cable connection and from the second transducer via wireless transmission of the signal to the patient's bedside monitor using the HMW 10 Wireless System. A comparison of data received by patient's bedside monitor from the two transducers was done (standard connection vs. wireless connection), as well as a comparison of data collected by the transmitter and data received by the receiver of the HMW 10 Wireless System.
