20090326335 | Pulse Oximeter With Wait-Time Indication - The present disclosure provides a system and method for determination and indication of the time remaining before a patient's physical characteristics are displayed on a monitor. The indication may be a numeric count-down, a progress bar, a clock face, an audible signal, or any other time and/or progress indication. The approximate wait-time may be determined, for example, by adding the known, generally fixed durations of characteristic determination processes to the calculated, variable durations of characteristic determination processes. Exemplary processes which may have generally fixed durations include monitor boot-up, sensor validation, and sensor calibration. Exemplary processes which may have variable durations include sensor location determination and pulsation detection. The sum of the pre-determined and calculated durations may be an approximate wait-time, which is indicated to a caregiver via visual or audible display. If a process takes longer than anticipated or an unexpected event occurs, the wait-time indication may be modified to reflect the longer anticipated wait-time. | 12-31-2009 |

20090247854 | Retractable Sensor Cable For A Pulse Oximeter - Provided is a method and apparatus for storing of a sensor cable used with a medical device. The medical device may include a retraction device that is activated by depressing a lever. Once the lever is depressed, the sensor cable may automatically wind itself around a spool inside of the medical device. Additionally, an automatic stop feature prevents a sensor cable from retracting without depression of the lever, thus maintaining the exact length of cable required to connect a monitor to the monitoring site on a patient. The retraction of the sensor cable may allow for storage of the cable in the monitor itself, or may allow for storage of the cable into the retraction device, which may be detachable from the monitor. | 10-01-2009 |

20090171172 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PULSE GATING - The present disclosure relates to the acquisition and use of an arterial pulse signal that may be used to synchronize the measurement of other physiological characteristics. In one embodiment, a sensor is provided that emits light toward a pulsing artery and detects the transmitted light to generate a signal representative of the amount of light detected. In another embodiment, a sensor is provided that acquires physiological data from a first emitter and first detector placed proximate to a perfused tissue site and acquires arterial pulse data from a second emitter and second detector placed proximate to an artery. Embodiments related to systems, tangible media, and methods of operation are also provided. | 07-02-2009 |
