Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosure includes pulse oximetry systems and methods for determining point-by-point saturation values by encoding photoplethysmographs in the complex domain and processing the complex signals. The systems filter motion artifacts and other noise using a variety of techniques, including statistical analysis such as correlation, or phase filtering.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A physiological monitoring system that computes arterial oxygen saturation in tissue material, the physiological monitoring system comprising: a light emitter which emits light of at least first and second wavelengths; a light detector responsive to light from said light emitter attenuated by body tissue, said light detector providing an output signal indicative of at least first and second intensity signals associated with said at least first and second w…
