A small, implantable, telemetric device for the long-term monitoring of intracranial pressure has been described in part I of this article. This portion of the study is designed to demonstrate the in vivo operational characteristics of that implant device in experimental animals. Results indicate that this system can provide long-term in vivo operation with rapid and accurate responses to acute changes in pressure. Data also indicate some drift in the baseline measurement of pressure. No signs of abnormal body reactions to the units were observed.
