Abstract:
A monitoring device for measuring one or more physiological parameters of a medical patient can include a finger clip sensor connected to a monitor. A placement indicator helps the patient to properly position the sensor. The monitor can display a message alerting the patient to reposition the sensor. The device can delay measurement until the sensor is properly positioned.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of determining positioning of a sensor, said method comprising:\n calculating at least one reference transmittance value from a first plurality of physiological signals received from a sensor on a measurement site of a patient, wherein said at least one reference transmittance value is indicative of a reference position of said sensor on said measurement site; calculating at least one operating transmittance value from a second plurality of physiological signals received from said sensor, wherein said at least one operating transmittance value is indicative of a current position of said sensor on said measurement site; calculating a placement indication value based, at least in part, on said at least one reference transmittance value and said at least one operating transmittance value; determining whether said placement indication value exceeds a placement indicator threshold; and , generating an output on a display based at least in part on said placement indication value when said placement indication value exceeds said placement indicator threshold.
