摘要： A method for removing motion artifacts from devices for sensing bodily parameters and apparatus and system for effecting same that includes analyzing segments of measured data representing bodily parameters and possibly noise from motion artifacts. Each data segment is frequency analyzed to determine up to three candidate peaks for further analysis. Up to three candidate frequencies may be filtered and various parameters associated with each candidate frequency are calculated. A pulse-estimate input may also be accepted from an external source. The best frequency, if one exists, is determined by arbitrating the candidate frequencies and the pulse-estimate input using the calculated parameters according to predefined criteria. If a best frequency is found, a pulse rate and SpO2 may be output. If a best frequency is not found, other, conventional techniques for calculating pulse rate and SpO2 may be used.

摘要： A method for removing motion artifacts from devices for sensing bodily parameters and apparatus and system for effecting same. The method includes analyzing segments of measured data representing bodily parameters and possibly noise from motion artifacts. Each segment of measured data may correspond to a single light signal transmitted and detected after transmission or reflection through bodily tissue. Each data segment is frequency analyzed to determine up to three candidate peaks for further analysis. Each of the up to three candidate frequencies may be filtered and various parameters associated with each of the up to three candidate frequencies are calculated. The best frequency, if one exists, is determined by arbitrating the candidate frequencies using the calculated parameters according to predefined criteria. If a best frequency is found, a pulse rate and SPO2 may be output. If a best frequency is not found, other, conventional techniques for calculating pulse rate and SpO2 may be used. The above method may be applied to red and infrared pulse oximetry signals prior to calculating pulse rate and/or pulsatile blood oxygen concentration. Apparatus and systems disclosed are configured to perform methods disclosed according to the invention.

摘要： A method for removing motion artifacts from devices for sensing bodily parameters and apparatus and system for effecting same. The method includes analyzing segments of measured data representing bodily parameters and possibly noise from motion artifacts. Each segment of measured data may correspond to a single light signal transmitted and detected after transmission or reflection through bodily tissue. Each data segment is frequency analyzed to determine dominant frequency components. The frequency component which represents at least one bodily parameter of interest is selected for further processing. The segment of data is subdivided into subsegments, each subsegment representing one heartbeat. The subsegments are used to calculate a modified average pulse as a candidate output pulse. The candidate output pulse is analyzed to determine whether it is a valid bodily parameter and, if yes, it is output for use in calculating the at least one bodily parameter of interest without any substantial noise degradation. The above method may be applied to red and infrared pulse oximetry signals prior to calculating pulsatile blood oxygen concentration. Apparatus and systems disclosed incorporate methods disclosed according to the invention.

摘要： A noninvasive optical oximeter for measuring oxygen saturation of arterial blood. A sample of blood is illuminated with light at two different wavelengths. Light reflected by the blood is sensed by a photodetector and an output signal is created in response thereto. The output signal is processed to form a quotient representing the AC components of the reflected light at each wavelength. The oxygen saturation of the blood is calculated by correlating this quotient with an oxygen saturation reference curve uniquely representative of the blood oxygen saturation characteristics of a particular individual. The reference curve used in the preferred embodiment of the invention is calibrated in a two-step process which minimizes the effects of calibration errors. A first oxygen saturation reference curve is calculated which is based on a linear relationship between the ratio of the AC components of the reflected light. This curve is then used to calibrate a second reference curve based on a linear ratio of the squared values of the AC components of the reflected light. Once the second reference curve has been properly calibrated, it is used for all subsequent measurements of oxygen saturation.

摘要： A method of treating a tissue site is provided. The method includes applying a reduced pressure to a tissue site with a reduced pressure source. A source pressure is monitored at the reduced pressure source, and a differential pressure is determined between the source pressure and the desired tissue site pressure. If a blockage is present between the reduced pressure source and the tissue site, the differential pressure is limited to a first maximum differential pressure. If no blockage is present between the reduced pressure source and the tissue site, the differential pressure is limited to a second maximum differential pressure.

摘要： A light source for a spectroscopy unit that measures tissue includes a block for engaging tissue and a light source. The block is formed of translucent material. The light source is positioned in close proximity to the block either directly or through use of a light fiber. The light source produces light at a single wavelength or small range of wavelengths shorter than the desired range of wavelengths to be produced by the light source for the spectroscopy unit. A luminescent material is placed in the light path between light source and the tissue to produce the desired wavelength of light when pumped by the light source.

摘要： A noninvasive optical oximeter for measuring oxygen saturation of arterial blood. A sample of blood is illuminated with light at four different wavelengths. Light reflected by the blood is sensed by a photodetector and a plurality of output signals are created in response thereto. The reflected light at each of the four wavelengths is detected after contact with the blood and is correlated with the oxygen saturation of the patient's blood using mathematical relationships for arterial and venous oxygen saturation. The present invention provides a noninvasive backscatter oximeter which is capable of providing accurate indications of a patient's blood oxygen saturation without the need for obtaining prior information relating to the oxygen content of the patient's blood.
