Single use medical device apparatus and methods
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a medical device, comprising;
a printed circuit board-battery assembly, comprising;
a printed circuit board comprising at least one contact pad comprising an ON switch of the medical device and an optical sensor, the optical sensor comprising;
at least one light source to emit light towards a measurement site of a user; and
at least one photodetector to receive light returned from the measurement site; and
a battery electrically attached to the printed circuit board;
a tape encapsulation assembly wrapped around the printed circuit board-battery assembly, the tape encapsulation assembly comprising;
a sensor window positioned over the optical sensor; and
a contact opening extending through a tape encapsulation component for receiving a first removable tab, the first removable tab including a liner layer portion disposed on a first surface of the tape encapsulation component covering the at least one contact pad on the printed circuit board and a tab portion disposed on an opposite second surface of the tape encapsulation component; and
a second removable tab positioned on a surface of the tape encapsulation assembly, the second removable tab including a two-sided adhesive layer that provides an adhesive layer on a surface of the medical device when the second removable tab is removed from the medical device.

Abstract
A medical device includes a printed circuit board-battery assembly, a tape encapsulation assembly wrapped around the PCB-battery assembly, and a second removable tab positioned on a surface of the tape encapsulation assembly. The second removable tab provides an adhesive layer on a surface of the medical device when the second removable tab is removed from the medical device. The PCB includes the electronic circuitry that performs the functionalities of the medical device, including an optical sensor that comprises at least one light source to emit light towards a measurement site of a user and at least one photodetector to receive light returned from the measurement site. The medical device can connect to a host computing device that performs various operations, including, but not limited to, authenticating the medical device, causing measurement values such as blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and a perfusion index (PI) to be provided.
