Abstract:
An optical measurement apparatus is an optical measurement apparatus that performs spectrometry on returned light reflected or scattered by a biological tissue and obtains a characteristic value of the biological tissue, and includes a probe having: an irradiation fiber that propagates light supplied from a proximal end thereof and emits the light from a distal end thereof; and a plurality of light-receiving fibers, each of which propagates light entering from a distal end thereof and outputs the light from a proximal end thereof, and the probe has a light-shielding member expandable in a radial direction of the probe and provided at a position at which the light-shielding member forms a light-shielded region around a distal-end surface of the probe on a surface including the distal-end surface of the probe upon expansion of the light-shielding member.
Abstract:
A biological optical measurement apparatus includes a connector unit to which a measurement probe is detachably connected, a supply unit configured to supply air to the connector unit, a pipe that connects the connector unit and the supply unit, a pressure detection unit configured to detect a pressure value in the pipe, and an abrasion determination unit configured to determine abrasion of the connector unit based on the pressure value detected by the pressure detection unit under conditions that the measurement probe is connected to the connector unit.
