ABSTRACT:
A sensor probe operable to transmit light of a first wavelength for scattering by a tissue sample is described for use with a pulse oximeter designed to operate with another type of sensor probe which transmits light of a second wavelength. The sensor probe includes at least one source of light for transmitting light of the first wavelength for scattering and/or absorption by the tissue sample. At least one detector is included for detecting light of the first wavelength affected by the tissue sample and generating a signal in response thereto. An encoder in the sensor probe transforms the signal to a form which may be employed by the oximeter.
