Overview
Current pulse oximeters provide adequate information regarding blood oxygen and pulse rate when used correctly. Unfortunately, many caregivers and hospital professionals encounter problems getting the device to remain on the finger to facilitate proper functionality.
Our Redesign of a currently accepted pulse oximeter is intended to correct this problem while maintaining similar functionality and ease of use. The design incorporates a disposable adhesive sleeve housing the sensor electronics of a reusable pulse oximeter.
