摘要

A medical device such as an oximeter includes a marking feature. In an implementation, a marking mechanism of the device marks tissue based on a location of where a measurement was taken by the device. In an implementation, the marking mechanism of the device marks tissue based on an oxygen saturation measurement obtained by the device.

主权项

1. A probe for a medical device comprising:
a cable interface, the cable interface being adapted to allow the probe to be coupled to a first radiation emitter and a first photodetector, wherein the first radiation emitter and the first photodetector are external to the probe; a sensor unit comprising a first source structure and a first detector structure, the first source structure being arranged to be coupled to the first radiation emitter via the cable interface, the first detector structure being arranged to be coupled to the first photodetector via the cable interface; and a marking mechanism output, positioned closer to the first detector structure than the cable interface.
