  • NOISE SHIELDING FOR A NONINVASIVE DEVICE
    Publication number: 20100004519
    Abstract: A noninvasive physiological sensor for measuring one or more physiological parameters of a medical patient can include a bump interposed between a light source and a photodetector. The bump can be placed in contact with body tissue of a patient and thereby reduce a thickness of the body tissue. As a result, an optical pathlength between the light source and the photodetector can be reduced. In addition, the sensor can include a heat sink that can direct heat away from the light source. Moreover, the sensor can include shielding in the optical path between the light source and the photodetector. The shielding can reduce noise received by the photodetector.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 2, 2009
    Publication date: January 7, 2010
    Applicant: MASIMO LABORATORIES, INC.
    Inventors: Marcelo Lamego, Sean Merritt, Cristiano Dalvi, Hung Vo, Johannes Bruinsma, Jeroen Poeze, Ferdyan Lesmana, Greg Olsen, Massi Joe E. Kiani
