Configurable physiological measurement system

摘要

A physiological measurement system has a sensor, a processor, a communications link and information elements. The sensor is configured to transmit light having a plurality of wavelengths into a tissue site and to generate a sensor signal responsive to the transmitted light after tissue attenuation. The attenuated light can be used by the system to determine a plurality of physiological measurements. The processor is configured to operate on the sensor signal so as to derive at least one physiological parameter after which of the plurality of physiological measurements the system is configured to or capable of measuring.

主权项

1. A physiological measurement system comprising:
a first physical component comprising a sensor configured to transmit light having a plurality of wavelengths into a tissue site and to generate a sensor signal responsive to the transmitted light after tissue attenuation, wherein the first physical component is configured to provide first information specifying measurements the first physical component is capable of supporting; a second physical component comprising at least one of a daughterboard, a patient cable, a sensor cable, a reusable portion of the sensor, or a disposable portion of the sensor, wherein the second physical component is configured to provide second information specifying measurements the second physical component is capable of supporting; and a hardware processor configured to:
receive the first information from the first physical component;receive the second information from the second physical component;determine, based on the first and second information, one or more of a plurality of potential physiological measurements the physiological measurement system is capable of supporting; andconfigure the physiological measurement system to measure the one or more of the plurality of potential physiological measurements the physiological measurement system is capable of supporting using the first and second physical components.
