20090240123 | DETERMINING RELATIVE BLOOD HEMATOCRIT LEVEL USING AN AUTOMATED INTEGRATED FLUID DELIVERY AND BLOOD ACCESS DEVICE - Devices and methods for determining the fluid characteristics of a blood sample may include the assessment of a pressure waveform of a fluid sample having a pre-determined volume passed through or out of a flow restrictor. The interface between the blood and other fluids in the tubing line of the blood monitoring system may also be assessed. These assessments may be used alone or in combination to generate estimates of other fluid characteristics, such as the hematocrit of a blood sample. This information may be used for the real-time determination of change of hematocrit levels in a patient's blood while the patient is being transfused with intravenous fluids or other vascular products, or to provide adjustment factors for other blood assays affected by the hematocrit or other blood parameters. | 09-24-2009 |
20100298678 | Method And System For Self Regulation Of Sensor Component Contact Pressure - A method and system for regulating contact pressure of a sensor is provided. In accordance with an embodiment, a sensor includes a collapsible material capable of regulating the localized component contact pressure exerted on a tissue between a threshold which ensures proper contact between the sensing component and monitoring site but which minimizes incidents of excessive localized pressures which could result in tissue damage over prolonged use. This localized contact pressure range is maintained over a wide range of sensor application pressures. In one embodiment, a window is provided in the sensor and a colorimetric indication of the compression or expansion of the collapsible material may be determined through the window. | 11-25-2010 |

20080200838 | WEARABLE, PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATED BLOOD TESTING SYSTEM - The present invention is a programmable, automated device for measurement and analysis of blood analytes and blood parameters. The device components are preferably combined in a single housing and either programmed to initiate automatic, periodic blood sampling or initiate automatic blood sampling via operator input or in response to a predefined event or in response to a signal from another instrument. The device operates automatically to draw blood samples and analyze the drawn blood samples to obtain the desired blood readings. | 08-21-2008 |
20080275324 | Fluid Access Interface - The present invention relates generally to systems, apparatuses, and methods for obtaining a fluid sample from a patient. In particular, the present invention relates to a various types of fluid access interfaces for enabling contact between a patient blood sample and blood parameter sensors for the measurement of physiological parameters and blood constituents. | 11-06-2008 |

20110213226 | MOTION COMPENSATION IN A SENSOR - A system and method for compensating for movement in a sensor. A sensor may include an emitter configured to transmit light, a detector configured to receive the transmitted light via a respective light path, and an accelerometer configured to measure a change in distance between the detector and the emitter. The sensor may transmit the measurements relating to the change in distance between the detector and the emitter to a pulse oximetry monitor. The pulse oximetry monitor may generate an attenuation factor corresponding to the change in the distance between the detector and the emitter that may be used to compensate for movement in a sensor when calculating physiological parameters of a patient. | 09-01-2011 |
