A glucose measurement system comprises a glucose measuring device comprising a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, electronics configured (i) to receive one or more signals indicative of a glucose level in a sample and (ii) to determine the glucose level based on the one or more signals, and a display for providing the determined glucose level. The system includes a circuit board; an RFID chip mounted on the circuit board; an in vivo glucose sensor coupled to the circuit board and in signal communication with the RFID chip; a memory for storing digitally encoded data representing a monitored glucose level detected by the in vivo glucose sensor; and an antenna coupled to the circuit board and in signal communication with the RFID chip. The RFID reader is configured to receive the digitally encoded data representing the monitored glucose level when the RFID chip is within a predetermined range of the RFID reader.

摘要:
A signal conditioning device is disclosed that interfaces a variety of sensor devices, such as guide wire-mounted pressure sensors, to physiology monitors. The signal conditioning device includes a processor for controlling sensor excitation and signal conditioning circuitry within the signal conditioning device. The processor also supplies signals to an output stage on the signal conditioning device representative of processed sensor signals received by a sensor interface of the signal conditioning device. Power for the signal conditioning device processor is supplied by an excitation signal received from a physiology monitor that drives the output stage. In addition, a temperature compensating current source provides an adjustment current to at least one of a pair of resistive sensor elements to compensate for differences between temperature change upon the pair of resistive sensor elements, thereby facilitating nullifying temperature effects upon the resistive sensor elements.

A probe for insertion into the body of a subject includes a sensor, a first microcircuit, which stores first calibration data with respect to the sensor, and a first connector at the proximal end of the probe. A probe adapter includes a second connector, which mates with the first connector, a signal processing circuit, which processes the sensor signal, and a second microcircuit, which stores second calibration data with respect to the signal processing circuit. A microcontroller in the adapter receives the first and second calibration data and computes combined calibration data. The adapter includes a third connector, which mates with a fourth connector on a console. The console includes signal analysis circuitry, which analyzes the processed signal using the combined calibration data provided by the probe adapter.

The memory chip allows the storing of patient related data, such as patient trending data or a patient ID, to provide enhanced capabilities for the oximeter sensor. In addition to providing unique data to store in such a memory, the present invention include unique uses of the data stored in such a memory.
摘要:
A memory in a sensor is used to store multiple coefficients for a physiological parameter. In one embodiment, not only are the sensor's specific calibration coefficients stored in a memory in the sensor for the formula to determine oxygen saturation, but multiple sets of coefficients are stored. The multiple sets apply to different ranges of saturation values to provide a better fit to occur by breaking the R to SpO2 relationship up into different pieces, each described by a different function. The different functions can also be according to different formulas for determining oxygen saturation.
摘要:
An analyte detection system is provided with calibration information uniquely specific to the set of test strips to which the sample is to be applied. The calibration information may be stored in permanent memory of the testing device, such that the device is discarded after use of all the test strips in a kit, or it may be stored in a calibration chip accompanying the set of test strips and distributed therewith, thereby enabling re-use of the testing device with a different set of test strips and associated calibration chip.
摘要:
A method for operating an oximeter sensor, and corresponding apparatus, which includes an encoded temperature characteristic of a light emitter (52) in the sensor (50). The encoded temperature characteristic is read, and is used to modify a drive of the light emitter (52) in the sensor (50). This enables a light emitter (52) to be operated at its maximum allowable intensity to maximize a signal to noise ratio, without burning a patient, in accordance with the particular characteristics of that light emitter (52).
