Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure include a sensor configured to store in memory indications of sensor use information and formulas or indications of formulas for determining the useful life of a sensor from the indications of sensor use information. A monitor connected to the sensor monitors sensor use and stores indications of the use on sensor memory. The monitor and/or sensor compute the useful life of the sensor from the indications of use and the formulas. When the useful life of the sensor is reached, an indication is given to replace the sensor.

Claim (Index 21):
A physiological sensor configured to store a sensor life function, the physiological sensor comprising:\n one or more emitters configured to transmit light of at least a first wavelength and a second wavelength into tissue of a patient; one or more detectors configured to detect the light after it has interacted with the tissue and to generate a signal responsive to the detected light; a memory device storing at least one sensor life function for use by a separately housed patient monitor in determining a useful life of the sensor; and a communication port configured to communicate the at least one sensor life function to the separately housed patient monitor, wherein the separately housed patient monitor calculates the useful life of the physiological sensor using the at least one sensor life function.
