Abstract
A measurement system, comprises a sensor wire and a transceiver unit. The sensor wire comprises 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 sensor wire. The sensor is configured to measure a variable inside the patient. The transceiver unit comprises: 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. The communication signal, including sensor values, is generated by the transceiver unit and transferred as a data stream. The housing is configured to remain external to the patient's body.
