Wireless patient monitoring device for physiological measurements
The patent US12070293B2 describes a patient monitoring device designed for removable attachment to a patient, specifically utilizing a physiological sensor that can be secured to a patient's finger. The device features a cable that connects the sensor to a base, which is secured to the patient's wrist via a strap. The base is designed with multiple sides, including a top surface that faces away from the wrist and a bottom surface that faces the wrist. The cable extends from the base, looping towards the finger, and is secured within a cable retainer. The monitor instrument, which can wirelessly communicate with external devices, is designed to couple with the base and process signals from the physiological sensor, allowing for the measurement of various physiological parameters, including blood oxygen saturation.
The physiological sensor incorporates an optical sensor with emitters and detectors positioned on opposite sides of the patient's finger to measure blood oxygen levels. The device also includes features such as an adhesive layer for secure attachment to the finger, strap connectors for easy coupling to the strap, and a design that allows for the monitor instrument to engage with the base through recesses and tabs. Additionally, the monitor instrument is equipped with electrical contacts that align with those on the base, facilitating effective signal transmission. Overall, the device is engineered for ease of use and effective monitoring of vital physiological metrics.
