ABSTRACT:
A monitoring system for an oxygen sensing, dual-wavelength, reflectance oximetry based, rate responsive cardiac pacemaker, is capable of automatically and continually adjusting an oxygen sensor signal comparator threshold such that the effects of noise, sensitivity and drift on oximeter output signals sent to the pacemaker are minimized. A comparator and related circuitry are configured to sample and compare supply excitations for multiple oxygen sensor light sources. The comparator threshold is adjusted as a function of supply excitation for each light source independently of one another, thereby providing an oxygen sensing pacemaker with optimal noise immunity since one of the more vulnerable portions of the pacing system is the transfer of the light source signals which are susceptible to noise.
