ANALYSIS OF POSSIBILITIES OF THE OPTICAL FIBERS USAGE IN THE MICROPROCESSOR PULSE - OXIMETER
Jacek Kusznier, Wojciech Wojtkowski · IFAC-PapersOnLine · 2019
The article presents selected issues related to the construction of a microprocessor pulse-oximeter. Pulse oximeters are non invasive medical devices that monitor level of the oxygen saturation of the splanchnic blood. The proposed principle of the system’s operation, presented in the paper, was implemented in the device constructed and tested in a laboratory. The selected results of laboratory examination of the proposed system are presented in the paper. It is potentially possible to implement this method of the oxygen saturation measurement to the contemporary textiles and intelligent clothes. The result of the laboratory examination of the exemplary patient is presented and it proofs proper operation of the proposed device. Selected issues related with proper implementation of the proposed device in the intelligent clothes are described and a proper solution of the potential problems is proposed.
