Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, an electrical signal is to be generated corresponding to the pressure to be measured. The pressure transducer is formed by an outer tube in which a measuring cell as well as a liquid line connected to a liquid reservoir are disposed. In order to be able to calibrate the pressure transducer at the respective place of measurement, for example, a blood vessel, the disclosure provides that the open end of the outer tube is closed by a one-way valve through which fluid can only flow out in the direction from the tube. When a slight, specific underpressure is set, the one-way valve closes and the pressure transducer can be calibrated.
