Abstract: A system including a sensor and a device coupled to the sensor. The sensor is configured to detect in Animalia tissue (i) a first electromagnetic radiation extinction dominated by absorption of a first wavelength and (ii) a second electromagnetic radiation extinction dominated by scattering of a second wavelength. The device is configured to aid in diagnosing at least one of infiltration and extravasation in the Animalia tissue based on the first and second electromagnetic radiation extinctions detected by the sensor.

Abstract: An epidermal dressing includes a fitting that cooperates with a sensor emitting and detecting near infrared signals for monitoring an intravascular infusion. The fitting includes a first arrangement that retains the sensor and a second arrangement that releases the sensor from the first arrangement.

Abstract: An epidermal dressing includes a barrier film and a fitting that cooperates with a sensor emitting and detecting near infrared signals for monitoring an intravascular infusion. The barrier film overlies an epidermal insertion site for a cannula administering the intravascular infusion. The fitting includes a first arrangement that retains the sensor and a second arrangement that releases the sensor from the first arrangement.

Abstract: An epidermal dressing includes an appliance for linking an electromagnetic spectrum sensor with a cannula administering an intravascular infusate. The appliance includes a body and a fitting coupled to the body. The body is configured to space a connector of the cannula from the epidermis. The fitting includes a first arrangement that is configured to retain the electromagnetic spectrum sensor for sensing the infusate in perivascular tissue, and a second arrangement that is configured to release the electromagnetic spectrum sensor from the first arrangement.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a transcutaneous electromagnetic signal sensor including an emitter and a detector. The emitter includes an emitter end face configured to emit a first electromagnetic radiation signal that enters Animalia tissue. The collector includes a detector end face configured to collect a second electromagnetic radiation signal that exits the Animalia tissue. The second electromagnetic radiation signal includes a portion of the first electromagnetic radiation signal that is at least one of reflected, scattered and redirected from the Animalia tissue. The second electromagnetic radiation signal monitors anatomical changes over time in the Animalia tissue.
