  • Patent number: 6487428
    Abstract: Extravasation of a fluid applied to a patient is determined by monitoring light transmitted through the tissue of the patient in proximity to a site at which the fluid is being injected. Light is radiated from a plurality of light sources in an encoded manner into the body part at the site at which the fluid is injected and the light that is reflected, scattered, diffused or otherwise emitted from the body part is detected individually by a plurality of light detectors. Signals representative of the detected light are developed and, prior to injection of the fluid, references are developed against which measurements made during injection of the fluid are compared. New light signals having an improved signal-to-noise ratio are developed from the comparisons of the detected light signals with the associated reference signals.
