System and method for memory switching for multiple configuration medical sensor
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a monitor;
a sensor configured to be coupled to the monitor, the sensor comprising;
a sensor body being configurable between a first configuration adapted to be applied to a first tissue site and a second configuration adapted to be applied to a second tissue site, wherein the sensor is configured to measure a physiological characteristic and wherein the second configuration results from separating a removable portion from the sensor body; and
a component coupled to the sensor, comprising;
a first memory device storing a first set of calibration data;
a second memory device storing a second set of calibration data;
wherein only the first memory device is accessible by the monitor in the first configuration and only the second memory device is accessible by the monitor in the second configuration.

Abstract
A system is provided that includes a monitor, a multiple configuration sensor having a first configuration and a second configuration, and a sensor connector. The sensor connector includes a first memory device and a second memory device, such that the first memory device is accessible by the monitor in the first sensor configuration and the second memory device is accessible by the monitor in the second sensor configuration. Another system is provided that includes a sensor adaptor having a processing circuit that reads a memory of a multiple configuration sensor and provides a first set of calibration data of a first sensor configuration and a second set of calibration data for a second sensor configuration.
