    Abstract: A pulse oximeter (210) has an integrated mode in which it operates as a plug-in module for a multiparameter patient monitoring system (MPMS) (250). The pulse oximeter (210) also has a portable mode in which operates separately from the MPMS (250) as a battery-powered handheld or standalone instrument. The pulse oximeter (210) has a sensor port that receives a photo-plethysmographic signal as input to an internal processor. The pulse oximeter processes this sensor signal to derive oxygen saturation and pulse rate measurements. In the portable mode, this information is provided on its display (340), and stored in memory for trend capability. A keypad (510) provides a user interface for operational control in the portable mode.; In the integrated mode, the pulse oximeter provides oxygen saturation and pulse rate measurements to the MPMS (250) through a communications interface, along with previously stored trend data, and displayed on the MPMS monitor. The MPMS (250) also provides external power and operational control of the pulse oximeter (210) in the integrated mode. Alternatively, a docking station (660) operates as a plug-in module that provides the mechanical and electrical interface between a portable pulse oximeter (610) and MPMS instruments from a variety of manufacturers. In the integrated mode, the portable pulse oximeter (610) docks to the docking station (660), which in turn is inserted in one or more MPMS slots (290). The docking station (660) can function as a simple electrical pass-through device between the docked portable pulse oximeter (610) and the MPMS (250) or it can provide a MPMS communications interface.

    Abstract: An intelligent, rule-based processor provides a pulse indicator designating the occurrence of each pulse in a pulse oximeter-derived photo-plethysmograph waveform. When there is relatively no distortion corrupting the plethysmograph signal, the processor analyzes the shape of the pulses in the waveform to determine where in the waveform to generate the pulse indication. When distortion is present, looser waveform criteria are used to determine if pulses are present. If pulses are present, the pulse indication is based upon an averaged pulse rate. If no pulses are present, no indication occurs. The pulse indicator provides a trigger and amplitude output. The trigger output is used to initiate an audible tone "beep" or a visual pulse indication on a display, such as a vertical spike on a horizontal trace or a corresponding indication on a bar display. The amplitude output is used to indicate data integrity and corresponding confidence in the computed values of saturation and pulse rate. The amplitude output can vary a characteristic of the pulse indicator, such as beep volume or frequency or the height of the visual display spike.

    Abstract: An optical probe, which is particularly suited to for use in measurements on tissue material of a patient. In one embodiment, the probe comprises upper and lower housing elements incorporating a light energy source and corresponding detector. The tissue material of the patient is disposed between the upper and lower housing elements such that the light energy emitted by the source passes through the tissue material to the detector. A plurality of light shields are attached to one or both of the housing elements to reduce the amount of ambient and reflected light reaching the detector. Additionally, various portions of the upper and lower housing elements and shields utilize light absorbent coloration and/or coatings which further mitigate the effects of undesired ambient and reflected light, thereby reducing noise generated within the instrument and increasing its accuracy. In one embodiment, the light shields are made removable from the optical probe, thereby facilitating replacement. A circuit for monitoring the condition of the probe, and indicating when replacement of the probe is desirable, is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A universal/upgrading pulse oximeter (UPO) (210) comprises a portable unit (610) and a docking station (660, 910) together providing three-instruments-in-one functionality for measuring oxygen saturation and related physiological parameters. The portable unit functions as a handheld pulse oximeter. The combination of the docked portable and the docking station functions as a stand-alone, high-performance pulse oximeter. The portable-docking station combination is also connectable to, and universally compatible with, pulse oximeters from various manufacturers through use of a waveform generator (320, 930). The UPO provides a universal sensor to pulse oximeter interface and a pulse oximeter measurement capability that upgrades the performance of conventional instruments by increasing low perfusion performance and motion artifact immunity, for example. Universal compatibility combined with portability allows the UPO to be transported along with patients transferred between an ambulance and a hospital ER, or between various hospital sites, providing continuous patient monitoring in addition to plug-compatibility and functional upgrading for multiparameter patient monitoring systems. The image on the portable display (264, 740) is rotatable, either manually when undocked or as a function of orientation (950), In one embodiment, the docking station (660) has a web server and network interface (1410) that allows UPO data to be downloaded and viewed as web pages over a local area network (1420) or the Internet.
