Zusammenfassung:A manometric catheter probe includes a flexible printed circuit, one or more pressure sensor assemblies coupled to the flexible printed circuit along a length of the flexible printed circuit, and a first flexible sleeve. Each pressure sensor assembly includes a body. The body includes a central cavity configured to receive the flexible printed circuit and an annular recess of the body. Each pressure sensor assembly further includes a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor disposed in the annular recess, an electrical connector configured to electrically couple the MEMS sensor and the flexible printed circuit, and a first flexible sleeve disposed over the annular recess of the body. The first flexible sleeve includes a fluid configured to communicate pressure to the MEMS sensor, and a second sleeve is disposed over the pressure sensor assembly.
