Abstract
A system and method for the wirelessly charging of a power source of a pulse oximeter. The pulse oximeter may include an inductively coupled conductor. The inductively coupled conductor may be coupled to the power source and the inductively coupled conductor may wirelessly receive an electromagnetic charging signal. Based on the received signal, the inductively coupled conductor may at least partially recharge the power source.
