CLIP SENSOR DEVICE FOR MEASUREMENT OF VITAL SIGNS
First Claim
1. A clip sensor device for optical measuring at least one vital sign of a subject, the clip sensor device comprising:
- a internal supporting frame configured to be folded into a desired orientation, and having an upper surface, an under surface, a right hand end, and a left hand end;
a measuring probe mounted on the upper surface of the internal supporting frame and comprising a transmitter configured for generating an optical signal and emitting the optical signal outwardly away from the upper surface of the internal supporting frame towards a portion of blood perfused body tissue of the subject, and a receiver configured for receiving light originated from the portion of blood perfused body tissue and generating a photo current signal including a time response of the blood perfused body tissue to the applied optical signal, the time response is indicative of said at least one vital sign of the subject;
a pressing member mounted on the upper surface of the internal supporting frame, said pressing member comprising at least one spring element configured to provide a predetermined pressure on the portion of the blood perfused body tissue due to the deformation of the spring element when said portion of blood perfused body tissue is applied against the pressing member.

Abstract
A clip sensor device for optical measuring vital signs of a subject is provided. The clip sensor device includes a internal supporting frame formed from an elongated plate configured to be folded into a desired orientation. A measuring probe is mounted on an upper surface of the frame. The measuring probe comprises a transmitter and receiver and configured for generating a time response of the blood perfused body tissue to the applied optical signal that is indicative of the vital signs of the subject. The clip sensor device also includes a pressing member mounted on the upper surface of the internal supporting frame. The pressing member includes one or more spring elements configured to provide a predetermined pressure on the blood perfused body tissue due to the deformation of the spring elements when said portion of blood perfused body tissue is applied against the pressing member.
