  • Patent number: 11172883
    Abstract: A disposable patient interface includes a reusable sensor that removably mounts within a shoe of the disposable patient interface when at least one protrusion on opposite ends of the sensor removably lock with corresponding at least one aperture on opposite portions of the shoe. The patient interface includes a compliant structure which conforms to a patient's body upon placement thereon without causing wrinkles in the compliant structure so as to maximize adhesion of the compliant structure against skin on the patient's body when the compliant structure is conformed to muscle underlying skin on the patient's body.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 16, 2021
    Assignee: ZOLL Medical Corporation

  • Patent number: 9408573
    Abstract: A patient interface for a reusable optical sensor, the patient interface including a compliant element defining a pocket having a lower wall defining an opening therethrough, the pocket being configured to removably receive the reusable optical sensor. The compliant element includes a first wing and a second wing configured for conformal placement on a patient's body. A condition of a patient may be monitored by inserting an optical sensor into a patient interface, applying the patient interface to the patient, obtaining a measurement with the optical sensor related to the condition of the patient, removing the patient interface from the patient, and removing the sensor from the patient interface.
