Die Erfindung betrifft eine Blasendruckmesskapsel, die in die Blase eines Lebewesens, insbesondere des Menschen, einbringbar ist und die in einem Gehäuse einen Drucksensor und eine Messelektronik aufweist, mit welcher vom Drucksensor zur Verfügung gestellte Druckmesswerte erfassbar und speicherbar sind und die eine von einer linearen Längserstreckung abweichende Form, insbesondere die Form eines Ringtorussektors aufweist und gegen eine rückstellende Kraft in eine linear längserstreckte Form biegbar ist. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Blasendruckmesskapsel bei dem eine die inneren Komponenten, insbesondere die elektronischen Komponenten tragende flexible Leiterplatte (2) in ein Formnest eingelegt wird, das eine von einer linearen Längserstreckung abweichende Form der herzustellenden Blasendruckmesskapsel, insbesondere die Form eines Ringtorussektors, definiert und das Formnest mit einer spannungsfrei aushärtenden elastomeren Vergussmasse (1), insbesondere Silikon gefüllt wird.

Embodiments provide an apparatus, system, kit and method for in vivo measurement of blood oxygen saturation (BAS). One embodiment provides an implantable apparatus for measuring BAS comprising a housing, emitter, detector, processor and power source. The housing is configured to be injected through a tissue penetrating device into a target tissue site (TS). The emitter is configured to emit light into the TS to measure BAS, the emitted light having at least one wavelength (LOW) whose absorbance is related to a BAS. The detector is configured to receive light reflected from the TS, detect light at the LOW and generate a detector output signal (DOS) responsive to an intensity of the detected light. The processor is operably coupled to the detector and emitter to send signals to the emitter to emit light and receive the DOS and includes logic for calculating a BAS and generate a signal encoding the BAS.

An aspect of an embodiment of the invention, relates to an imaging capsule for scanning inside a living body with a fail-safe radiation mechanism that prevents the emission of radiation from the imaging capsule until the imaging capsule is instructed to emit radiation and power is available to activate a motor to unblock the emission of radiation. Optionally, when power is not available the imaging capsule automatically, blocks the emission of radiation.
