Application identification sensor
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An application identification sensor comprising:
- a plurality of emitters configured to transmit light into a tissue site;
a detector configured to receive said light after tissue absorption, said detector generating a signal responsive to the intensity of said light and communicating said signal to a monitor; and
an information element readable by said monitor so as to identify a sensor application, said monitor presetting at least one user-selectable operational parameter in response to said information element.

Abstract
An application identification sensor comprises a plurality of emitters configured to transmit light into a tissue site and a detector configured to receive the light after tissue absorption. The detector generates a signal responsive to the intensity of the light and communicates the signal to a monitor. An information element is readable by the monitor so as to identify a sensor application. The monitor presets at least one user-selectable operational parameter in response to the information element.
