Intended use
The NPS3 pressure display unit is an active medical product with internal power supply, which in
combination with other RAUMEDIC accessories, such as the ICP-TEMP-Cable (REF 094328-001), and
single-channel RAUMEDIC precision pressure catheters is used for short-time measurement of a
physiological pressure.
