MONITOR CONFIGURATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A monitor configuration system comprising:
- a calculation processor that communicates with a physiological sensor configured to obtain an indication of a physiological condition of a patient, the calculation processor configured to calculate a physiological parameter measurement responsive to the indication of the physiological condition obtained by the physiological sensor;
an instrument manager processor in communication with the calculation processor, the instrument manager processor configured to control one or more of a calculation, display and alarm of the monitor configuration system, the instrument manager processor responsive to a configuration profile that specifies selected options relevant to one or more of the control, display and alarm of the monitor configuration system; and
a configuration indicator configured to identify the configuration profile.

Abstract
A monitor configuration system which communicates with a physiological sensor, the monitor configuration system including one or more processors and an instrument manager module running on the one or more processors. At least one of the one or more processors communicates with the sensor and calculates at least one physiological parameters responsive to the sensor. The instrument manager controls the calculation, display and/or alarms based upon the physiological parameters. A configuration indicator identifies the configuration profile. In one aspect of the invention, the physiological sensor is a optical sensor that includes at least one light emitting diode and at least one detector.
