SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING WHETHER REGIONAL OXIMETRY SENSORS ARE PROPERLY POSITIONED
First Claim
1. A system for determining whether a regional oximetry sensor is properly positioned on a subject, the system comprising:
- one or more inputs configured for;
receiving a first signal representative of an intensity of light at a first detector of the regional oximetry sensor; and
receiving a second signal representative of an intensity of light at a second detector of the regional oximetry sensor; and
one or more processors configured for;
determining a first metric value based on the first signal;
determining a second metric value based on the second signal; and
determining, based on the first metric value, the second metric value, and a relationship between the first metric and the second metric, whether the regional oximetry sensor is properly positioned on the subject.

Abstract
Methods and systems are presented for determining whether a regional oximetry sensor is properly positioned on a subject. First and second metric values may be determined based on respective first and second light signals. The first and second metric values and a relationship between the first and second metrics are used to determine whether the sensor is properly positioned on the subject. The first and second metrics may form a pair of metrics, and whether the sensor is properly positioned on the subject may be determined based on whether the pair of metrics falls within a sensor-on region. In some embodiments, a plurality of metrics may be determined based on a plurality of received physiological signals. The plurality of metrics may be combined, using, for example, a neural network, to determine whether the regional oximetry sensor is properly positioned on a subject.
