1. A medical pulse oximetry sensor comprising:

  • a carriage housing adapted to fit snugly about a portion of a subject'"'"'s anatomy with a relatively high oxygenated blood throughput;

    a first light emitting diode mounted in the housing for emitting light in the electromagnetic spectrum of the red wavelengths;

    a second light emitting diode mounted in the housing emitting light in the electromagnetic spectrum of the infrared wavelengths;

    at least one photodiode for detecting incumbent light from the first and second light emitting diodes after the emitted light has passed through a blood oxygenated portion of a subject and generating electrical signals indicative thereof;

    a processing circuit integrally formed on an integrated semiconducting component chip mounted in the carriage housing, the processing circuit processing the signals into one of a pulse oximetry value and plethysmographic waveforms from at least one of the wavelengths.
