Estimating the term…
An implantable medical device having an optical sensor selects the function of modular opto-electronic assemblies included in the optical sensor. Each assembly is provided with at least one light emitting device and at least one light detecting device. A device controller coupled to the optical sensor controls the function of each the assemblies. The controller executes a sensor performance test and selects at least one of the plurality of assemblies to operate as a light emitting assembly in response to a result of the performance test. The controller selects at least one other of the plurality of optical sensor assemblies to operate as a light detecting assembly in response to a result of the performance test.
An implantable medical device, comprising:
A method for use in an implantable medical device having an optical sensor comprising a plurality of modular assemblies, each assembly comprising at least one light emitting device co-located with at least one light detecting device, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions which when implemented in an implantable medical device having an optical sensor comprising a plurality of modular assemblies, each assembly comprising at least one light emitting device co-located with at least one light detecting device cause the device to:
