Adult Flexible Sensor

The flexible sensor is made from polyurethane rubber in which fiber optics and prisms are embedded. It has been designed for measurements on curved surfaces such as the head. Right hand and left hand versions are available for simultaneous dual head monitoring. The body is larger than the equivalent neonatal head scanner and is thus less susceptible to stray light and background light complications. The sensor may be held in place by medical adhesive that is attached to its surface.

Key Features

• Low Profile, Very flexible and Comfortable
• Many choices concerning emitter distances and number of emitter positions
• Side entry fibers allow for maximum flexibility of the sensor
• Inline detector/emitter geometry maximizes overlap of sample tissue
• Allows measurements on curved surfaces

Key Characteristics

• Flexible rubber molded construction
• Four emitter positions with eight emitters
• Standard fiber length 2.5 m (up to 10 m fibers available)
• Standard emitter-detector distance; 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 cm
• Custom emitter detector distances available:
  1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 cm
  2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 cm

Dual Flexible Sensor

The dual sensor optical probe, utilized for measurements on the forehead, has been developed for measurements that require the simultaneous data acquisition on both frontal lobes of the brain (for instance, sleep apnea, ADHD). The sensor is made of soft and flexible polyurethane and accounts for forehead curvature effects, as well as sampling through the skull into the brain (effective source-detector separation range). The sensor may be attached on the forehead by means of a medical adhesive in a symmetrical configuration, so each sensor acquires data simultaneously, from the right and the left frontal lobes of the brain respectively.

Input Interface Module

The auxiliary input interface system is for data logging of up to four analog signals generated by external devices (pulse oximeter, blood pressure monitor, breathing rate monitor, inspired gas mixture monitor, etc). The data is sent to OxiplexTS or Imagent and is displayed along with oximetry measurements. This allows for the correlation of tissue oximetry data with a wide array of other measurements.

Output Interface Module

The output system is for exporting OxiplexTS data to an external device. The signal can be output at 10 Hz or less, the OxiplexTS can make measurements up to 50 Hz. Four outputs, saturation and total hemoglobin concentration for both channels is provided.
