Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for intercommunication between a medical sensor and an electronic patient monitor are provided. For example, one embodiment of a system for communicably coupling a medical sensor to an electronic patient monitor may include a sensor-side communication connector and a monitor-side communication connector. The sensor-side communication connector may be capable of receiving a raw physiological measurement signal from the medical sensor, and the monitor-side communication connector may be capable of providing a digital physiological measurement signal based at least in part on the raw physiological measurement signal to the electronic patient monitor via a data link.

25. An oximetry assembly comprising:
-
a cable assembly including a proximal end and a distal end; an oximetry sensor located at the distal end of the cable assembly and configured to detect one or more raw oximetry signals, the oximetry sensor configured to attach to a finger and comprising at least one emitter and at least one detector, the at least one emitter configured to transmit light at one or more wavelengths into tissue, the at least one detector configured to receive the light after the light passes through or is reflected by the tissue; a connector located at the proximal end of the cable assembly; and a processor housed within the cable assembly, wherein the processor is configured to receive the one or more raw oximetry signals from the oximetry sensor, and wherein the processor is configured to process the one or more raw oximetry signals to determine one or more oximetry measurements. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
