SENSOR GUIDE WIRE DEVICE AND SYSTEM INCLUDING A SENSOR GUIDE WIRE DEVICE
First Claim
1. Sensor guide wire device comprising a sensor guide wire for intravascular measurements of a physiological variable in a living body, the sensor guide wire is provided with at least one sensor element arranged to sense at least one physiological variable in a living body;
- the sensor guide wire device further comprises a connector unit adapted to be directly or indirectly connected to the proximal end of said sensor guide wire, said connector unit being physically attachable to a signal converting device, via electrical contacts, for providing the signal converting device with a signal indicative of a physiological variable sensed by the sensor element, characterized in that the connector unit comprises a power supply arranged to power the signal converting device via said electrical contacts when the connector unit is attached to the signal converting device and that said sensor guide wire device is a disposable device that is heat sterilizeable.

Abstract
A sensor guide wire device (200) for intravascular measurements of a physiological variable in a living body is disclosed. The sensor guide wire (200) may comprise a sensor element (213) and a connector unit (220). The connector unit (220) is attachable to a signal converting device (310). The sensor element (213) provides the signal converting device (310) with a signal indicative of a physiological variable sensed by the sensor element (213). Furthermore, the connector unit (220) comprises a battery (222). A system (300) comprising the sensor guide wire device (200) and the signal converting device (310) is also disclosed.
