2123421 9309837 PCTABS00022 Apparatus for remotely displaying the inflation pressure within an inflator (11) for inflating a balloon catheter. The apparatus comprises a pressure transducer (40) positioned to sense pressure within the syringe, a transmission unit (502) receiving a pressure signal from the transducer and transmitting by means of infrared light pulse sequences, a pressure message reflective of the pressure signal. A monitor (500) positionable at a distance from the transmission unit receives and decodes the pressure messages, and provides a display thereof. A timer key (518) for initiating the transmission of start/stop clock messages is located on the inflator unit. The monitor further includes a timer responsive to received clock messages, and an elapsed time display (520). |
