ABSTRACT:
The catheter for supplying fluids to or draining them from the body of a patient is provided in its tube wall with a detector device integrated in the form of a block unit. The detector device is constituted by a first sensor for sensing a first status, e.g. pressure, of the fluid, a second sensor for sensing a second status, e.g. temperature thereof, a first display device for displaying the first status sensed by the first sensor, and a second display device for displaying the second status sensed by the second sensor. The signals indicative of the first status, e.g. pressure, sensed by the first sensor are processed by a first control unit and displayed on the first display device and the signals indicative of the second status, e.g. temperature, sensed by the second sensor are processed by a second control unit and displayed on the second display device. The first and second display devices are disposed on the base end side of the catheter so as to be exposed to the outside of the tube of the catheter in order to allow the operator to visually monitor the data sensed by the first and second sensors and displayed on the first and second display devices from the body of a patient into which the catheter is inserted.
