Abstract:
A method for measuring oxygen saturation includes determining a difference in voltage value for a light emitting diode based on a first voltage at the light emitting diode for a first current and a second voltage at the light emitting diode for a second current and determining a temperature for the light emitting diode based on the difference in voltage value. The method further includes determining an intensity of a received photonic signal corresponding to an output photonic signal output using the light emitting diode and determining an oxygen saturation level based on the intensity of the received photonic signal and the temperature for the light emitting diode. The method further includes outputting an indication of the oxygen saturation level.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for calibrating for errors dependent upon spectral characteristics of tissue for a medical device by estimating a spectral characteristic of tissue providing error due to scattering or absorption of emitted light based upon operating the sensor in reflectance mode to generate a first SpOreading and estimating error due to spectral characteristics of skin therefrom, operating the sensor in transmissive mode to generate a second SpO2 reading, and applying a correction to a pulse oximetry transmissive mode measurement to correct for the error dependent upon the estimated spectral characteristic of tissue.

International Classification:
A61M 25/06 A61M 25/00
Abstract:
Example assemblies and techniques for introducing a conductive element into a catheter are disclosed. An example assembly includes a sensing device configured to sense a parameter of interest in a fluid, the sensing device including sensor circuitry at a distal portion, a sensing element at a proximal portion, and a conductive element communicatively coupled to the sensor circuitry and the sensing element. The assembly includes an introducer defining an introducer lumen configured to receive at least a portion of the conductive element of the sensing device, the introducer being configured to be inserted into a catheter lumen of a catheter while the at least the portion of the conductive element is in the introducer lumen. The assembly further includes a rigid member mechanically coupled to the sensing device and configured to open a longitudinal surface of the introducer as the introducer is retracted relative to the sensing device.

Abstract:
A patient monitoring sensor having a communication interface, through which the patient monitoring sensor can communicate with a monitor is provided. The patient monitoring sensor includes a light-emitting diode (LED) communicatively coupled to the communication interface and a detector, communicatively coupled to the communication interface, capable of detecting light. The patient monitoring sensor includes a bandage that is constructed as a single piece such that plural layers of the bandage are configured together to allow for a leaflet opening of the bandage, for example using at least one removable liner or tab, to insert a pulse oximetry circuit therein.
