Patent number: 11426125Abstract: An physiological measurement device provides a device body having a base, legs extending from the base and an optical housing disposed at ends of the legs opposite the base. An optical assembly is disposed in the housing. The device body is flexed so as to position the housing over a tissue site. The device body is unflexed so as to attach the housing to the tissue site and position the optical assembly to illuminate the tissue site. The optical assembly is configured to transmit optical radiation into tissue site tissue and receive the optical radiation after attenuation by pulsatile blood flow within the tissue.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Masimo CorporationInventors: Yassir Abdul-Hafiz, Ammar Al-Ali, Kevin Forrest, Eugene Mason, John Schmidt, Virginia Thanh Ta

Patent number: 11412939Abstract: A wireless, patient-worn, physiological sensor configured to, among other things, help manage a patient that is at risk of forming one or more pressure ulcers is disclosed. According to an embodiment, the sensor includes a base having a top surface and a bottom surface. The sensor also includes a substrate layer including conductive tracks and connection pads, a top side, and a bottom side, where the bottom side of the substrate layer is disposed above the top side of the base. Mounted on the substrate layer are a processor, a data storage device, a wireless transceiver, an accelerometer, and a battery. In use, the sensor senses a patient's motion and wirelessly transmits information indicative of the sensed motion to, for example, a patient monitor. The patient monitor receives, stores, and processes the transmitted information.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Masimo CorporationInventors: Ammar Al-Ali, Kevin Forrest
