System for measuring physical parameters with a medical probe
First Claim
1. System for measuring at least one physical parameter in a place in a patient'"'"'s body to which a medical probe has access, comprising a medical probe equipped with a sensor of said parameter and means for emitting an electrical signal that represents said parameter and that is received by the sensor, to a data processing device outside the patient'"'"'s body, wherein:
- said probe consists of a rod comprising fastening means to fasten an electronic measuring unit to the rod, the sensor of said parameter is included in the electronic measurement unit that also includes other parts consisting of electronic means associated with the sensor to provide a measurement signal, means for remote transmission of the measurement signal, power supply means of the electric means associated with the sensor and remote transmission means, wherein;
the measurement unit also comprises additional fastening means besides those of the rod of the probe, the means for emitting an electronic signal representing said parameter to the data processing device are receiver means positioned such that they are capable of receiving the measurement signal emitted by the remote transmission means, the remote transmission means comprise a coil-shaped antenna, the power supply means comprise a circuit capable of being charged by a remote power supply using said coil, the sensor is located at the distal end of the medical probe.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for measuring at least one physical parameter in a place in a patient'"'"'s body to which a medical probe has access, comprising a medical probe (1) equipped with a sensor of said parameter and means for emitting an electrical signal that represents said parameter and that is received by the sensor, to a data processing device outside the patient'"'"'s body. In this system:
said probe (1) consists of a rod (2) comprising fastening means (3) to an electronic measuring unit (41, 42),
the sensor of said parameter is included in the electronic measurement unit (41, 42) that also includes other parts consisting of electronic means associated with the sensor to provide a measurement signal, means for remote transmission of the measurement signal, power supply means for said parts, the measurement unit (41, 42) also comprising additional fastening means besides those of the rod (2) of the probe (1),
the means for emitting an electric signal representing said parameter to the data processing device are receiver means positioned such that they are capable of receiving the measurement signal emitted by the remote transmission means.
