Miethke M.scio - Sensor Technology For Telemetric Measurement Of Intracranial Pressure

Hydrocephalus and subarachnoid hemorrhages may be associated with a life-threatening increase in intracranial pressure (ICP). Determining the ICP is an important requirement for proper application of ICP-lowering measures.¹⁰ To date, there is no way to adequately determine intracranial pressures based on symptoms or imaging methods alone. In addition to measurement for initial diagnosis, it may be necessary to monitor intracranial pressure repeatedly over a period of years to ensure the desired therapeutic outcome. The information gathered can help prevent time-consuming and costly examinations and hospitalizations, thus improving patient well-being. The M.scio is a long-term implant for simple, non-invasive telemetric measurement of intracranial pressure.
