Title: Signal quality metrics design for physiological data
Inventor: BAKER CLARK R JR
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 2003-12-29
Abstract: A method and a device for determining the quality of signal used for measuri ng a physiological parameter. One embodiment of the present invention is direct ed towards a pulse oximeter, where the measured physiological parameter include s a patient's pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation. The signal quality, whic h is indicative of the accuracy and reliability of the measured physiological parameter, is calculated by combining a plurality of signal quality indicators, each of which is an indicator of a quality of the measured signa l. The value of the signal quality metric is compared to a threshold and based on this comparison various decisions are made by the medical device. One decisi on is directed towards deciding whether or not to display the measured physiological parameter, to ensure that only accurate measured values are displayed. Another decision is directed towards providing feedback to guide the clinician to adjust the location of the sensor to a more suitable tissue location.
