Rheo Probe is a minimally invasive device, implanted in the brain matter for patients in a coma following brain haemorrage or traumatic brain injuries to measure cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure, temperature and oxygenation parameters. Nearinfrared sensors assess levels of tissue oxygenation as well as cerebral blood flow by measuring oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin based on spectrometry.
