SOFT BOOT PULSE OXIMETRY SENSOR
First Claim
1. A reusable sensor for measuring a signal indicative of at least one physiological parameter of tissue, the sensor comprising:
- a reusable circuit including one or more light emitting source configured to emit light of at least two different wavelengths and at least one light detector configured to detect the light after it has been attenuated by body tissue;
a sensor housing, the sensor housing configured to enclose the finger and having a distal opening, a wire lumen, and a proximal opening, wherein the distal opening includes a lumen that extends through the body of the sensor housing, along a topside of the sensor housing; and
a wire, wherein the wire is disposed within the wire lumen and provides a connection between the light emitting source and the light detector.

Abstract
A reusable sensor is disclosed for producing a signal indicative of at least one physiological parameter of tissue. The sensor can include a sensor housing that has a distal opening, a wire lumen, and a proximal opening. The distal opening can include a lumen extending through the body of the sensor housing and the wire lumen can be located on the outside of the sensor housing. The sensor can also include a first component located on a top surface of the sensor housing and along the pathway of the wire lumen. The sensor can also include a second component located on the bottom surface of the sensor housing opposite of the first component. The second component can also be located along the pathway of the wire lumen. The sensor can also include a wire coaxially disposed within the wire lumen and connecting the first component and second component.
