long metal nail
There is another meaning for the word spike using in medical terms, a hypodermic needle, but I don't think this would fit in this context. I think spike here means a long metal nail to lock the monitoring kit from moving.

needle
In this case the arterial pressure monitoring kit is invasive. It is intra-arterial. Therefore it is a needle that is meant here.

: A needle for inserting into the vein or artery which is used as a monitoring spike rather than just a needle for drawing or delivering.

: If so, they would use the term 'needle'. Most of the monitoring kit do not include needle(s).

Perhaps most monitoring kitS do not include needles. But this one certainly does.

: agree with nakcl. A "spike" in this context is a spike and not a needle
