Abstract:
A physiologic condition sensor comprisingan elongate flexible body having upper and lower surfaces, an emitter and a detector mounted on the body in a spaced apart relation adjacent to the lower surface thereof,first and second attachment members mounted on the upper surface of the body and being aligned respectively with the emitter and the detector,a disposable flexible member having an adhesive on one side thereof, and first and second couplers spaced apart a distance equal to that between the first and second attachment members and each being constructed and arranged to couple to one of the attachment members for coupling the body to the flexible member in cooperation with said adhesive, the flexible member being constructed and arranged to mount the body on a patient's tissue with the emitter and detector on the opposite sides thereof,each attachment member and coupler defining a coupled pair aligned respectively with the emitter and detector, each coupled pair extending above the surface of the flexible member and being visible when the flexible member and the body are mounted on the patient's tissue to permit alignment of the emitter and the detector on the opposite sides thereof.
