Publication number: 20240065636Abstract: An oximeter probe that takes into account tissue color (e.g., skin color or melanin content) to improve accuracy when determining oxygen saturation of tissue. Light is transmitted from a light source into tissue having melanin (e.g., eumelanin or pheomelanin). Light reflected from the tissue is received by a detector. A compensation factor is determined to account for absorption due to the melanin. The oximeter uses this compensation factor and determines a melanin-corrected oxygen saturation value.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Kate LeeAnn Bechtel, Kimberly Merritt Shultz, Alex Michael Margiott, George Edward Kechter

Publication number: 20240057901Abstract: An oximeter device determines an oxygen saturation for the tissue and determines a quality value for the oxygen saturation and associated measurements of the tissue. The quality value is calculated from reflectance data received at the detectors of the oximeter device. An accelerometer of the oximeter device can detect movement of the oximeter device when oximetry measurements are made by the oximeter device. An amount of the movement is an indicator of a probe face of the oximeter device changing position with respect to the tissue when the measurements are made. The accelerometer information is used by the oximeter device to adjust the quality value to reflect the amount movement. The oxygen saturation and the adjusted quality metric value are displayed on a display of the oximeter device so that a user may view the quality of the displayed information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Alex Michael Margiott, Jordan Sweer, Kate LeeAnn Bechtel
