Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for manufacturing a sensor is provided. The method includes providing a frame having a loop structure, and covering the frame with a coating material to provide a sensor body having at least one diaphragm structure. The one or more diaphragm structures of the sensor body bias an emitter housing and a detector housing of the frame toward one another. The sensor may be placed on a patient's finger, toe, and so forth, to obtain pulse oximetry or other physiological measurements.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing, comprising: providing a frame comprising a loop structure and an emitter housing and a detector housing that protrude from an inner surface of the loop structure; and forming a sensor body by applying a coating material over the frame, wherein the coating material covers at least one open area of the frame to provide at least one diaphragm structure, and wherein the sensor body is flexible such that the emitter housing and the d…
