1. A blood analysis system functions as a non-invasive blood parameter analyzer when a monitor is coupled with an optical sensor and as an invasive blood sample analyzer when the monitor is coupled with a blood analysis adapter, the blood analysis system comprising:

  • a monitor having a sensor port and emitter drivers;

    the emitter drivers are in communications with a sensor port;

    a blood analysis adapter is removably connected to the sensor port;

    the blood analysis adapter has an emitter assembly and a detector;

    the emitter assembly transmits multiple wavelength optical radiation to a blood sample inserted into the blood analysis adapter in response to the emitter drivers;

    a blood modulator that modulates the blood sample so as to simulate pulsatile blood;

    the detector is responsive to the optical radiation after attenuation by the blood sample; and

    the detector response is communicated to the monitor for analysis of the blood sample.
