Abstract

An oximeter device includes a sensor probe unit that is connected by a wire to a sensor probe electronic module. The sensor probe electronic module connects wirelessly to a medical device console, which can be a phone, tablet, or other mobile device. And the mobile device can connect to a network or the Internet (e.g., the Cloud). Alternatively, the sensor probe electronic module can directly to the network or the Internet directly without a medical device console. The medical device console can execute an application and show on its display oxygen saturation and related measurements obtained through the sensor probe unit.

A method comprising:

providing a first enclosure of an oximeter probe comprising:
forming a first source structure and a second source structure on a first line on a first planar surface of the first enclosure,
wherein the first source structure comprises a first source structure side, inside the first enclosure, and a second source structure side, outside of the first enclosure, and
the second source structure comprises a third source structure side, inside the first enclosure, and a fourth source structure side, outside of the first enclosure;
providing a first emitter circuit, wherein the first emitter circuit emits light having a first wavelength, and the first emitter circuit is associated with the first source structure;
providing a second emitter circuit, wherein the second emitter circuit emits light having a second wavelength, which is different from the first wavelength, and the second emitter circuit is associated with the first source structure;
providing a third emitter circuit, wherein the third emitter circuit emits light having the first wavelength, and the third emitter circuit is associated with the second source structure;
providing a fourth emitter circuit, wherein the fourth emitter circuit emits light having the second wavelength, and the fourth emitter circuit is associated with the second source structure,
the first and second emitter circuits are positioned within the first enclosure such that light emitted by either the first emitter circuit or the second emitter circuit will pass through first source structure from the first source structure side to the second source structure side in a direction away from the first planar surface, and
the third and fourth emitter circuits are positioned within the first enclosure such that light emitted by either the third emitter circuit or the fourth emitter circuit will pass through second source structure from the third source structure side to the fourth source structure side in a direction away from the first planar surface;
forming a first detector structure and a second detector structure on a second line on the first planar surface of the first enclosure, where the second line is not collinear or parallel with the first line;
providing a first detector circuit, wherein the first detector circuit receives light that passes through the first detector structure and not the second detector structure;
providing a second detector circuit, wherein the second detector circuit receives light that passes through the second detector structure and not the first detector structure;
and
coupling a front-end circuit to the first and second emitter circuits and the first and second detector circuits;
providing a second enclosure of the oximeter probe, wherein the second enclosure is a separate and independent enclosure from the first enclosure;
providing a processor in the second enclosure;
providing a memory in the second enclosure and coupling the memory to the processor;
providing a first wireless communication circuit and coupling the first wireless communication circuit to the processor and memory;
providing a battery holder comprising positive and negative battery terminals;
coupling the battery terminals to the processor, memory, and first wireless communication circuit via a connection to the second enclosure;
and
externally extending an electrical cable between the first and second enclosures;
and
coupling the electrical cable from the front-end circuit of the first enclosure to the processor, memory, wireless communication circuit, and battery-holder battery terminals of the second enclosure.
