A sensor signal adapting circuitry is configured to receive the pressure sensor signal and automatically generate an output pressure signal, related to the sensor signal, in a standardized format such that the measured pressure is retrievable by an external physiology monitor. An 10 external pressure sensor is adapted to measure the pressure outside the patients body and generate external pressure values in dependence thereto. The assembly has a transceiver unit and a communication unit, and the external pressure sensor is arranged in the communication unit. The pressure sensor wire is adapted to be connected at its proximal end to the transceiver unit. Further, the transceiver unit is configured as a 15 torque device with a guiding mechanism to guide the pressure sensor wire during insertion into the patient. The communication unit is configured to be connected to the external physiology monitor in order to transfer the output pressure signal to the external physiology monitor.
