  • Flexible optical source for pulse oximetry
    Patent number: 10357188
    Abstract: An optical source for guiding light to a target of a patient includes at least one light source configured to emit red light and infrared light. The at least one light source is embedded within a light-conducting sheet. A photodistributor is spaced from the at least one light source. The photodistributor includes a light-emitting surface and at least one light-receiving surface optically coupled to the light-conducting sheet. The photodistributor is configured to discharge at least a portion of the emitted red light and at least a portion of the emitted infrared light into a target.

  • FIXATION METHOD FOR A NASAL SEPTUM SENSOR FOR MEASURING MEDICAL PARAMETERS
    Publication number: 20170332966
    Abstract: When measuring SpO2 in a patient, a nasal oximeter is inserted into the patient's nose and comprises a source pad (14) and a detector pad (18) that are positioned at a predetermined location on either side of the nasal septum. The source pad and detector pad are biased toward each other to provide a clamping force on the nasal septum sufficient to permit SpO2 measurement without causing tissue necrosis. Clamping force is supplied by means of a spring type device, an expandable material, or the like.
