Abstract
A system and method for determining physiological parameters of a patient as well as errors based on light transmitted through the patient. Based on the received light, a most likely type of error may be determined, as well as one or more most likely actions to be undertaken to correct the error. Both the error and the corrective actions to be undertaken may be displayed.

7. A non-invasive medical device, comprising:
-
a sensor comprising; a light emitting diode capable of transmitting electromagnetic radiation; and a photodetector capable of detecting the electromagnetic radiation and generating electrical signals based at least in part upon the detected electromagnetic radiation; and a monitor coupled to the sensor, wherein the monitor is capable of; transforming the electronic signals into conditioned data based at least in part upon analog-to-digital conversion of the electronic signals and filtering of the electronic signals; determining the signal state of the conditioned data, wherein the signal state of the conditioned data is based at least in part upon a condition of the sensor; determining a most likely corrective action, wherein the corrective action corresponds to an alteration of the condition of the sensor. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
