Patent number: 8670814Abstract: An optical probe, which is particularly suited to reduce noise in measurements taken on an easily compressible material, such as a finger, a toe, a forehead, an earlobe, or a lip, measures characteristics of the material. A neonatal and adult disposable embodiment of the probe include adhesive coated surfaces to securely affix the probe onto the patient. In addition, the surface of the probe is specially constructed to reduce the effect of ambient noise.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2009Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Masimo CorporationInventors: Mohamed Diab, Esmaiel Kiani-Azarbayjany, David R. Tobler, Thomas J. Gerhardt, Eugene E. Mason, Mike A. Mills

Patent number: 8560034Abstract: The present invention involves method and apparatus for analyzing two measured signals that are modeled as containing primary and secondary portions. Coefficients relate the two signals according to a model defined in accordance with the present invention. In one embodiment, the present invention involves utilizing a transformation which evaluates a plurality of possible signal coefficients find appropriate coefficients. Alternatively, the present invention involves using statistical functions or Fourier transform and windowing techniques to determine the coefficients relating to two measured signals. Use of this invention is described in particular detail with respect to blood oximetry measurements.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1998Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Masimo CorporationInventors: Mohamed K.

Publication number: 20120184832Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include an optical probe capable of communicating identification information to a patient monitor in addition to signals indicative of intensities of light after attenuation by body tissue. The identification information may indicate operating wavelengths of light sources, indicate a type of probe, such as, for example, that the probe is an adult probe, a pediatric probe, a neonatal probe, a disposable probe, a reusable probe, or the like. The information could also be utilized for security purposes, such as, for example, to ensure that the probe is configured properly for the oximeter, to indicate that the probe is from an authorized supplier, or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2012Publication date: July 19, 2012Applicant: MASIMO CORPORATIONInventors: Mohamed Kheir Diab, Esmaiel Kiani-Azarbayjany, Charles Robert Ragsdale, James M.
