Patent Images
1. A pulse oximeter;
- comprising;
a first portion comprising a light emitter and a light detector, the emitter and detector capable of acquiring physiological data from a patient'"'"'s finger;
a second portion comprising a display adapted to output physiological data;
a drive engine configured to activate the light emitter;
an oximetry engine configured to receive a signal corresponding to the physiological data acquired by the detector, generate an output based at least in part upon the physiological data, and transfer the output to the display; and
a slider mechanism disposed between the first portion and the second portion and configured to facilitate translation of the second portion relative to the first portion.

Abstract
A slider spot check pulse oximeter may include a first portion and a second portion. The first portion may include a sensor configured to monitor physiological parameters of a patient. The second portion may include a display configured to display the monitored physiological parameters. The second portion may be configured to slide relative to the first portion such that the second portion substantially exposes the sensor when in an open position and substantially covers the sensor when in a closed position.
