Abstract:
1. A system for determining a physiological parameter in a patient, the system comprising: an analyte detection system configured to measure first analyte data in a fluid sample received from a patient by irradiating the fluid sample with electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the range between approximately 600 nm and 12 μm, the analyte detection system further configured to irradiate in the lower near-infrared portion of the range and irradiate separately in the higher, mid-infrared portion of the range; a medical sensor configured to measure second analyte data in the patient; and a processor configured to receive the first analyte data and the second analyte data and to determine a physiological parameter based at least in part on the first analyte data and the second analyte data.
