Abstract: In a process for measuring partial transcutaneous CO2 pressure on an earlobe by means of a sensor having a measuring device for measuring the partial transcutaneous CO2 pressure and a heating system for heating a sensor contact surface for contact with the earlobe, the sensor contact surface is heated. During a first phase, the sensor contact surface is kept at an elevated temperature of at least 41.5° C. in order to prevent the measured value of partial transcutaneous CO2 pressure from exceeding, due to the measurement process itself, the partial transcutaneous CO2 pressure achieved after stabilization. The temperature of the sensor contact surface is then reduced to between 37° C. and 41° C. This facilitates considerably faster evaluation of the measured values.

Abstract: In the proposed method for detecting spurious signals caused by movements of the patient or his environment in the pulse oximetric measurement of the arterial oxygen saturation, the intensity of the light emerging from the test specimen is measured by two photodiodes (7, 8). The signals (S1, S2) generated at these photodiodes (7, 8) are normalized to equal levels of their DC components. Finally, to detect spurious signals caused by movements, the differences (&Dgr;Sn) of these normalized signals (S1n, S2n) are formed.

During a first time interval, a calibration factor k is determined from the DC and AC components of the emerging light. During a second time interval, the oxygen saturation in the tissue is computed progressively from the DC components of the emerging light and the determined calibration factor k.

Abstract: Calibration of sensors of the type used for the cutaneous determination of blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels is facilitated by providing separate sensor units, alternatively and removably connectable to a calibration device and to the measuring devices with which they are used for such determinations. The sensor units contain, in addition to a sensor electrode, a data memory in which is stored calibration data generated when the sensor unit is connected to the calibration device. The calibration device can provide a plurality of calibration stations, each capable of supplying a standard gas to a connected sensor and, in response to signals from the sensor exposed to the standard gas, generating data signals representing the calibration of the sensor, which signals are transmitted to the data memory of the sensor unit. Upon connection of the sensor unit to the measuring device, the calibration data from the data memory of the sensor unit are used as a calibration base for measurements by the sensor.
