Transmission cable for medical signal values
First Claim
1. A transmission cable for medical signal values, comprising a plurality of single cables of different cable type integrated in a common cable sheath, each said cable type is configured for transmission of a particular medical signal value with one of the single cables configured as a flexible waveguide for transmission of blood pressure values, and wherein a first set of the single cables is provided for collecting values for the nitrogen content in blood, a second set of the single cables for temperature values, and a third set of the single cables for electrocardiogram values, and wherein the waveguide is configured as a single cable of hollow tube-shaped configuration in coaxial disposition around a central axis of the cable sheath and surrounded by an outer circumference, which forms an annular space between the waveguide and the cable sheath for accommodating, all remaining single cables arranged in the annular space, and wherein the annular space is provided with shielding relative to the cable sheath.

6. A multifunctional signal transmission cable assembly, comprising:
-
a cable sheath; and
a cable arrangement received within the cable sheath configured for transmission of different medical signal values, wherein the cable arrangement includes a first cable for transmission of a signal commensurate with a blood pressure measurement, a plurality of second cables for transmission of a signal commensurate with a measurement of a nitrogen content in blood, a plurality of third cables for transmission of a signal commensurate with a measurement of temperature values, and plurality of fourth cables for transmission of a signal commensurate with electrocardiogram values, wherein the first cable is a waveguide configured as a single cable in the form of a flexible hollow tube having an outer circumference and arranged in a central disposition within the cable sheath at a distance to the cable sheath to thereby define an annular space between the outer circumference and the cable sheath, said second, third and fourth plurality of cables placed about the circumference of the waveguide in the annular space between the wave guide and the cable sheath. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
