[0040] The device also includes a data acquisition and feedback component (not shown), which includes a standard pressure sensor and a signal acquisition module.

The signal acquisition module is integrated inside the device body 1 and is electrically connected to the standard pressure sensor by a wire.

The support and positioning structure 12 is a support foot with anti-slip pads to achieve stable placement of the device body 1.
[0043] The calibration process in this embodiment is as follows: The implantable pressure sensor to be calibrated is positioned and sealed by the positioning structure 82 of the calibration interface 8, and a calibration command is input through the command input module; the control component controls the on / off control component 5 to close the connection channel 4, controls the pressure transmission component 7 to deliver the pressure transmission medium 73 into the static reference cavity 2, and simultaneously controls the reference pressure generating component 22 to generate a stable reference pressure. The standard pressure sensor collects the static reference pressure signal, and the signal acquisition module synchronously collects the output signal of the sensor to be calibrated, completing the static accuracy calibration; after the static calibration is completed, the control component controls the on / off control component 5 to open the connection channel 4, controls the pressure transmission component 7 to replenish the pressure transmission medium 73 into the dynamic calibration cavity 3, and simultaneously controls the dynamic pressure driving component 32 to generate a dynamic simulated pressure. The standard pressure sensor collects the dynamic pressure signal, and the signal acquisition module synchronously collects the dynamic output signal of the sensor to be calibrated, completing the dynamic characteristic calibration.
[0044] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the structure of the dynamic pressure drive component 32 is different, and the specific form of the pressure disturbance suppression structure 33 is different. The rest of the structure and connection relationship are the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0045] In this embodiment, the dynamic pressure drive component 32 adopts a micro pump control system, including a micro peristaltic pump (not shown) and a flow regulating valve (not shown). The micro peristaltic pump is connected to the dynamic calibration chamber 3 through a medium delivery branch, and the flow regulating valve is set on the medium delivery branch and electrically connected to the control component. The control component adjusts the rotation speed of the micro peristaltic pump and the opening of the flow regulating valve to achieve precise control of the periodic or transient changes in pressure in the dynamic calibration chamber 3, adapting to the physiological pressure simulation requirements of different frequencies and different transient rates.
[0046] Meanwhile, the pressure disturbance suppression structure 33 on the inner wall of the dynamic cavity body 31 is a spiral guide groove. The spiral guide groove extends spirally along the axial direction of the dynamic cavity body 31, which can guide the pressure transmission medium 73 to flow along the spiral trajectory, further weakening turbulence disturbance and improving the transmission stability of dynamic pressure signal, especially suitable for high-frequency dynamic pressure calibration scenarios.
[0047] Example 3 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the structural form of the sealing component 6 and the type of the pressure transmission medium 73 are different, while the rest of the structure and connection relationship are the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0048] In this embodiment, the sealing component 6 adopts an inflatable sealing structure, including a sealing ring (not shown) and a micro air pump (not shown). The sealing ring is a hollow annular structure, which is embedded in the sealing groove of the inner wall of the static reference cavity 2, the dynamic calibration cavity 3 and the connecting channel 4. The micro air pump is integrated into the device body 1 and is connected to the sealing ring through an air inflation pipeline, and a pressure sensor is installed on the air inflation pipeline. Before calibration, the control component controls the micro air pump to inflate the sealing ring until the sealing ring expands and fits tightly against the cavity wall to achieve a seal. This structure can adapt to the processing requirements of different cavity wall precision and improve the sealing reliability.
[0049] In addition, the pressure transmission medium 73 uses medical-grade fluorinated oil, which has better chemical stability and temperature resistance. It can be adapted to the calibration scenario of implantable pressure sensors after high-temperature sterilization, avoiding the deterioration of traditional silicone oil in high-temperature environments and ensuring the safety and stability of the calibration process.
