摘要:
A noninvasive photoplethysmographic sensor system for mobile animals such as small rodents, namely rats and mice is useful such as in a laboratory research environment. The noninvasive photoplethysmographic sensor for mobile animals such as small rodents utilizes multiple FFT's in the processing of the phtotoplethysmograophic signal, where each FFT has a different time record of the signals such as a number of points, or a zero padded FFTs. The noninvasive photoplethysmographic sensor for mobile animals provides actigraphy measurements for the animal.

A blood oxygenation monitoring device may comprise an extracorporeal pulse simulation system including one at least partially transparent blood holding element with a photoplethysmographic sensor coupled to the element and adapted to measure particular gas content of the blood. The system includes a pulse simulation mechanism configured to simulate pulsatile behavior of the blood within the element relative to the photoplethysmographic sensors. The blood holding element may be a reservoir, wherein the pulse simulation mechanism includes a magnetic stirrer and stir bar within the reservoir. The blood holding member may be flexible tubing having blood flow there through, wherein the pulse simulation mechanism is a peristaltic pump coupled to the tubing. The monitoring device can rapidly and accurately form oxygen dissociation curves. The monitoring device can be utilized in conjunction with a heart lung bypass machine or other extra corporeal circuit devices or can be a calibration tool for sensors.

A method and apparatus of obtaining research data that includes a set of physiologic parameters of a subject by utilizing a physiologic sensor which measures a plurality of physiologic parameters of a subject by obtaining signals from the sensor from which the physiologic parameters are calculated and which verifies the calculated parameters with preset criteria, comprising the steps of: Providing a plurality of distinct error classification codes for the calculated parameters, wherein each error classification code is associated with a given set of failed criteria; Recording the calculated parameters of the subject over a session period; Assigning error classification codes to calculated parameters that failed to meet the given criteria; and Recording the assigned error codes in a time integrated manner with the calculated parameters of the subject over a session period. The Error codes may be visibly displayed to the user in a variety of formats.
摘要:
Several techniques are disclosed for isolating either heart or breath rate data from a photoplethysmograph, which is a time domain signal such as from a pulse oximeter. The techniques involve the use of filtering in the frequency domain, after a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) has been conducted on a given photoplethysmograph also references as a given set of discrete time-domain data. The filtering may be applied to an identified fundamental frequency and one or more harmonics for heart related parameters. The filter may be truncated to the frequency data set and further applied multiple times to improve roll off. After filtering, an Inverse FFT (IFFT) is used to reconstruct the time-domain signal, except with undesirable frequency content eliminated or reduced. Calculation or measurement of parameters is then conducted on this reconstructed time-domain signal.
