  • Apparatus for precise determination of operating characteristics of optical devices contained in a monitoring probe
    Patent number: 5685301
    Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention characterizes the operating characteristics of a medical monitoring probe in a more comprehensive and accurate manner than is heretofore known in the prior art. This apparatus not only identifies the present value of a plurality of operating characteristics of the optical components contained in the probe, but also computes the interrelationship therebetween to produce a composite probe indicia that substantially defines the net operating characteristics of the probe, including the interrelation of the various interactive and/or cumulative effects. This composite probe indicia represents either a number or a graphical representation of probe operating characteristics that can be used directly by the processor contained within the monitoring system to perform the required computations.
