Claim Text:
1. A device comprising; (a) two or more disposable pulse oximeter sensor modules, each comprising; (b) a banding mechanism, wherein said banding mechanism is configured to be worn around the wrist, and wherein the banding mechanism is capable of circumscribing the wrist, said banding mechanism having: (c) a strut enveloped lengthwise within said banding mechanism, wherein the strut is configured such that providing a bending pressure to the banding mechanism results in the coiling of the strut and ligature of the banding mechanism around the wrist; (d) a window area on the skin contacting surface of said banding mechanism, wherein said window area comprises a pliable plastic sheet, and wherein said window area is integrated into said integral pocket and disposed to allow light to enter and exit the inner area of said integral pocket; and (e) a signal processing unit, wherein said signal processing unit is capable of receiving one or more signal from said photodetector and wherein said signal processing unit determines the percent of hemoglobin molecules bound with oxygen molecules by determining the ratio of absorbance between said red light and said infrared light based on said one or more signal from said photodetector.
