Abstract:
An oximeter, comprising:a housing having an opening through which a finger of a patient is positioned; a radiation emitter provided in said housing for outputting a multi-frequency radiation to said finger; a sensor provided in said housing for detecting the radiation from said emitter passing said finger so as to acquire data relating to the physical attributes of said patient; at least one circuit provided in said housing for effecting the respective operations of said radiation emitter and said sensor, and to calculate from the data acquired from said sensor at least the oxygen saturation level of blood of said patient; and at least an other circuit provided in said housing for establishing a bidirectional RF link between said oximeter and a remote device separate from said housing, said other circuit working cooperatively with said one circuit for transmitting a RF signal representing the calculated blood saturation level of said patient to said remote device.
