In addition is arranged a sensor signal adapting circuitry, being an integrated part of said assembly, wherein the pressure sensor signal is applied to the adapting circuitry that is adapted to automatically generate an output pressure signal, related to the sensor signal, in a standardized format such that 10 the measured pressure is retrievable by an external physiology monitor. The assembly further comprises an external pressure sensor arranged at the assembly to measure the pressure outside the patient's body and to generate external pressure values in dependence thereto, the external pressure values are applied to a pressure compensation means, in the assembly, adapted to generate a compensation value reflecting the external pressure 15 variation during a measurement procedure, wherein the output pressure signal is compensated by said compensation value prior to the output pressure signal being applied to the external physiology monitor.
