Abstract
A regional oximetry system comprises a pod having a pod housing defining a sensor end and an opposite monitor end. A dual sensor connector is in electrical communication with the sensor end of the pod housing. A monitor connector is in electrical communication with the monitor end of the pod housing. An analog board is disposed within the pod housing and is in electrical communications with the dual sensor connector. The analog board receives and digitizes sensor signals from at least one optical sensor plugged into the dual sensor connector. A digital board is disposed within the pod housing and in electrical communications with the analog board and the monitor connector. A digital signal processor (DSP) is mounted on the digital board and implements a regional oximetry signal processor so as to receive digitized sensor signals from the analog board, derive regional oximetry parameters from the digitized sensor signals and communicate the regional oximetry parameters to the monitor connector for display on an attached monitor.
