  • Adapter cable for connecting a pulsoximetry sensor unit to a medical measuring device
    Patent number: 5287853
    Abstract: An adapter cable is used for connecting a pulsoximetry sensor unit to a medical measuring device. The pulsoximetry sensor unit comprises, among other components, two antiparallel-connected, light-emitting diodes, which are activated alternatingly by a pulse current source of the medical measuring device. Between said pulsoximetry sensor unit and said medical measuring device, a plurality of grounding lines extend within the adapter cable. In the case of a short circuit between one of the two supply lines of the antiparallel-connected, light-emitting elements and one of the grounding lines, the fault current is caused to flow in the grounding lines to a first node in accordance with the present invention, said first node being adapted to be connected to a reference potential of the medical measuring device via a first resistor.
