Claim 22:
23. A device comprising:
an elongated tube, comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the elongated tube comprises a uniform diameter along a longitudinal direction between the proximal and distal ends, and an opening is at the distal end;
an oximeter sensor, wherein the oximeter sensor comprises
an emitter, positioned in the elongated tube, and
a detector, positioned in the elongated tube, wherein the detector comprises a light-to-electrical-current converter and faces the opening at the distal end of the elongated tube;
a printed circuit board, within an interior tubular space of the elongated tube;
an amplifier circuit, positioned on the printed circuit board within the interior tubular space of the elongated tube, wherein the amplifier circuit is coupled to the detector and is closer to the distal end than the proximal end of the elongated tube; and
a first wireless transceiver, coupled to the proximal end of the elongated tube, wherein the first wireless transceiver is outside of the elongated tube.
