The packer can be expanded and thereby isolate a lower open part () of a well-bore, distinguished in that the packer is fastened sealingly but slideably over a distance () of the well-bore, such that the drill-string can be moved up and down, with or without rotation, within the distance while the packer remains stationary due to being expanded in the well-bore. Also, the device includes at least one pressure transmitter for measuring and transferring in real-time to the surface measured pressure in the isolated lower open part of the well-bore. Methods for formation testing utilizing the device and a device for formation testing of a production well.
