Abstract
A system includes a flexible sensor configured to be placed into a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein the sensor is configured to measure a physiological characteristic. The sensor may include a first memory device configured to store a first set of calibration data and a second memory device configured to store a second set of calibration data. The system may further include a monitor coupled to the sensor, wherein the first memory device is accessible by the monitor in the first configuration and the second memory device is accessible by the monitor in the second configuration.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a monitor;
- a sensor configured to be coupled to the monitor, the sensor comprising:
- a sensor body having 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;
- a first memory device storing a first set of calibration data;
- and
- a second memory device storing a second set of calibration data;
- wherein the first memory device is accessible by the monitor in the first configuration and the second memory device is accessible by the monitor in the second configuration.
