A replaceable sensing module (80) is provided for use in a pulse oximetry device, allowing for quick replacement of a failed sensor element. A fingertip pad (50) and a fingertip cover (70) form the sensing module (80) and cooperate to form a receptacle (81) into which a patient's fingertip can be inserted. The sensing module (80) has an internal spring, thereby permitting the module to be inserted into various oximetry type devices (20). The module (80) has mounting rails (52) and a multi-pin electrical connector, allowing a user to quickly replace the module (80) in the event of component failure.
