Vittamed 205 applies controlled external pressure (Pe) to the tissues surrounding the eye ball and uses two-depth Doppler ultrasound to compare simultaneous blood flow parameters in two contiguous segments of the ophthalmic artery (OA) – the intracranial and extracranial segments.
The device directly compares ICP and Pe values and can identify the balance ICP=Pe when blood flow pulsatilities in both OA segments are similar.
Novelty:
First non-invasive intracranial pressure meter capable of accurately, precisely and reliably measure the absolute value of intracranial pressure (ICP) without the necessity of periodic calibration to the individual patient.
