Experimental set-up. The ICP sensor (a) was placed in a container (b) containing 0.9% NaCl solution. A metal rod (c) was placed in the 0.9% NaCl solution; thereby the test person (d) could deliver ESD to the sensor (a). The ICP sensor was connected via a cable (e) to the pressure transducer (f), which was the Codman ICP Express for Codman sensors, and Raumedic MPR-1 for the various Raumedic sensors. The pressure transducer (f) was further connected with a laptop computer (g) with Sensometrics software for sampling and storage of the continuous pressure signals. In order to record the ESD delivered to the sensor, a meter (h) was connected with the container to read the magnitude of ESD.
