Pulse oximetry sensor and dispensing method
First Claim
1. An oximetry sensor comprising:
- a body member having a plurality of apertures therein;
an adhesive disposed on the body member surrounding the plurality of apertures;
a release liner configured for removal from the adhesive, wherein the release liner includes a first portion disposed around a first aperture in the plurality of apertures and a second portion disposed around a second aperture in the plurality of apertures, wherein the first portion and the second portion are separately removable from the body member such that the adhesive disposed in a perimeter around the first and the second apertures are separately exposed, and wherein the first and the second portions each include a release tab to facilitate removal of the first and the second portions from the body member;
an LED assembly secured in the first aperture; and
a photodiode secured in the second aperture.

Abstract
An oximetry sensor that can be easily applied and attached to a portion of the body of a patient in a noninvasive manner is provided. The oximetry sensor of the present invention includes an adhesive wrap member for use with reusable pulse oximetry sensor electronics (e.g., an LED assembly and a photodiode coupled with a cable) to retain the sensor in the desired position comfortably on a patient. The adhesive member includes a release liner thereover which may include an appliqué or other member thereon, for example, instructions for use. The release liner is configured for removal from the adhesive member in at least one release liner portion subsequent to attaching of the pulse oximetry sensor electronics without disturbing such positioning.
