Transceiver unit in a measurement system
First Claim
1. A measurement system, comprising:
- a sensor wire comprising an insertable portion configured to be inserted in a blood vessel of a patient'"'"'s body;
at least one sensor disposed within the insertable portion at a distal end of the sensor wire, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to measure or detect a parameter when inserted inside the patient; and
a transceiver unit configured to transfer information related to the parameter to an external communication module using a frequency hopping technique,wherein the transceiver unit comprises a housing adapted to be connected to a proximal end of the sensor wire and configured to remain external to the patient'"'"'s body.

Abstract
A measurement system may comprise a sensor wire and a transceiver unit. The sensor wire may comprise an insertable portion configured to be inserted in a blood vessel of a patient'"'"'s body and a sensor disposed within the insertable portion at a distal end of the senior wire. The sensor is configured to measure a parameter when inserted inside the patient. The transceiver unit may comprise: a housing adapted to be connected to a proximal end of the sensor wire; and a first communication module within the housing adapted to wirelessly communicate by a communication signal with an external second communication module in order to transfer information to the external second communication module.

14. A method of measuring one or more parameters inside a blood vessel of a patient'"'"'s body, comprising:
-
inserting an insertable portion of a sensor wire into the blood vessel of the patient'"'"'s body, wherein the sensor wire further comprises at least one sensor disposed within the insertable portion at a distal end of the sensor wire, wherein a transceiver unit comprising a housing is connected to a proximal end of the sensor wire; measuring or detecting a parameter using the at least one sensor after the step of inserting the insertable portion into the blood vessel while the housing remains external to the patient'"'"'s body; generating a communication signal containing information related to the parameter via the transceiver unit, wherein the communication signal includes sensor values related to the parameter; and transferring the communication signal to an external communication module using a frequency hopping technique. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
