Abstract:
A sensor cartridge according to embodiments of the disclosure is capable of being used with a non-invasive physiological sensor. Certain embodiments of the sensor cartridge protect the sensor from damage, such as damage due to repeated use, reduce the need for sensor sanitization, or both. Further, embodiments of the sensor cartridge are positionable on the user before insertion in the sensor and allow for improved alignment of the treatment site with the sensor. In addition, the sensor cartridge of certain embodiments of the disclosure can be configured to allow a single sensor to comfortably accommodate treatment sites of various sizes such as for both adult and pediatric applications.

Claim (Index 2):
A disposable sensor cartridge configured to be mateable with a clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor, the disposable sensor cartridge comprising:\n a first portion comprising:\n a first resilient exterior surface that conforms to a shape of a first interior surface of the clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor; and \n a first aperture configured to:\n facilitate alignment of the first aperture with respect to a nail bed of a finger of a patient; and \n align with at least one of a light emitter or a light detector of the clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor when the disposable sensor cartridge is inserted into the clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor; and \n \n a second portion coupled to the first portion and defining a space between the first and second portions capable of receiving the finger of the patient, the second portion including:\n a second resilient exterior surface that conforms to a shape of a second interior surface of the clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor; and \n a second aperture configured to align with at least one of the light emitter or the light detector of the clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor when the disposable sensor cartridge is inserted into the clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor, \n wherein the disposable sensor cartridge is configured to be mateable with the clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor by insertion of the disposable sensor cartridge into an area of the clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor capable of receiving the finger of the patient, and wherein the first and second apertures are further configured to allow light emitted from the light emitter of the clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor to travel through a path defined by the first and second apertures such that the light is incident on the finger, travels through and is attenuated by the tissue of the finger, and is received by the light detector of the clip-type noninvasive physiological sensor.
