Abstract

Because reprocessing or refurbishing of physiological sensors reuses large portions of an existing sensor, the material costs for refurbishing sensors is significantly lower than the material costs for making an entirely new sensor. Typically, existing reprocessors replace only the adhesive portion of an adhesive physiological sensor and reuse the sensing components. However, re-using the sensing components can reduce the reliability of the refurbished sensor and/or reduce the number of sensors eligible for refurbishing due to out- of-specification sensor components. It is therefore desirable to provide a process for refurbishing physiological sensors that replaces the sensing components of the sensor. While sensing components are replaced, generally, sensor cable and/or patient monitor attachments are retained, resulting in cost savings over producing new sensors.

Description

REPROCESSING OF A PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSOR
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/311,668, filed March 8, 2010, titled REPROCESSING OF A PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSOR, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0002] The present disclosure relates to medical sensors and specifically to reprocessing or refurbishing of medical sensors.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0003] Patient monitoring of various physiological parameters of a patient is important to a wide range of medical applications. Oximetry is one of the techniques that has developed to accomplish the monitoring of some of these physiological characteristics. It was developed to study and to measure, among other things, the oxygen status of blood. Pulse oximetry— a noninvasive, widely accepted form of oximetry— relies on a sensor attached externally to a patient to output signals indicative of various physiological parameters, such as a patient's constituents and/or analytes, including for example a percent value for arterial oxygen saturation, carbon monoxide saturation, methemoglobin saturation, fractional saturations, total hematocrit, billirubins, perfusion quality, or the like. A pulse oximetry system generally includes a patient monitor, a communications medium such as a cable, and/or a physiological sensor having light emitters and a detector, such as one or more LEDs and a photodetector. The sensor is attached to a tissue site, such as a finger, toe, ear lobe, nose, hand, foot, or other site having pulsatile blood flow which can be penetrated by light from the emitters. The detector is responsive to the emitted light after attenuation by pulsatile blood flowing in the tissue site. The detector outputs a detector signal to the monitor over the communication medium, which processes the signal to provide a numerical readout of physiological parameters such as oxygen saturation (Sp02) and/or pulse rate.
[0004] High fidelity pulse oximeters capable of reading through motion induced noise are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,096,054, 6,813,511, 6,792,300, 6,770,028, 6,658,276, 6,157,850, 6,002,952 5,769,785, and 5,758,644, which are assigned to Masimo Corporation of Irvine, CA ("Masimo Corp.") and are incorporated by reference herein. Advanced physiological monitoring systems can incorporate pulse oximetry in addition to advanced features for the calculation and display of other blood parameters, such as carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO), methemoglobin (HbMet), total hemoglobin (Hbt), total Hematocrit (Hct), oxygen concentrations, glucose concentrations, blood pressure, electrocardiogram data, temperature, and/or respiratory rate as a few examples. Typically, the physiological monitoring system provides a numerical readout of and/or waveform of the measured parameter. Advanced physiological monitors and multiple wavelength optical sensors capable of measuring parameters in addition to Sp02, such as HbCO, HbMet and/or Hbt are described in at least U.S. Pat. App. No. 11/367,013, filed March 1, 2006, titled Multiple Wavelength Sensor Emitters and U.S. Pat. App. No. 11/366,208, filed March 1, 2006, titled Noninvasive Multi-Parameter Patient Monitor, assigned to Masimo Laboratories, Inc. and incorporated by reference herein. Further, noninvasive blood parameter monitors and optical sensors including Rainbow™ adhesive and reusable sensors and RAD-57™ and Radical-7™ monitors capable of measuring Sp02, pulse rate, perfusion index (PI), signal quality (SiQ), pulse variability index (PVI), HbCO and/or HbMet, among other parameters, are also commercially available from Masimo Corp.
[0005] In order reduce costs, some hospitals or medical institutions choose to purchase refurbished or reprocessed sensors. Typically, these sensors are single-use sensors and are meant to be used by a single patient. Refurbishers receive used sensors, usually from the hospitals, and replace adhesive portions of the sensor while keeping the sensing components unchanged. However, such re-use of the sensing components can decrease reliability of the readings of the sensors as the sensing components of the sensor suffer from wear, damage, misalignment, or the like due to use.
[0006] Typically, for adhesive physiological sensors, reprocessors simply replace the adhesive tape on the sensors without replacing additional components. This could potentially lead to sensors with degraded sensing performance. On the other hand, if the reprocessor institutes strict functional testing procedures, sensors can be disposed of even if a large portion of a sensor, other than the sensing component, is still within specification. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0007] Because reprocessing or refurbishing of physiological sensors reuses large portions of an existing sensor, the material costs for refurbishing sensors is significantly lower than the material costs for making an entirely new sensor. Typically, existing reprocessors replace only the adhesive portion of an adhesive physiological sensor and reuse the sensing components. However, re-using the sensing components can reduce the reliability of the refurbished sensor and/or reduce the number of sensors eligible for refurbishing due to out-of-specification sensor components. It is therefore desirable to provide a process for refurbishing physiological sensors that replaces the sensing components of the sensor. While sensing components are replaced, generally, sensor cable and/or patient monitor attachments are retained, resulting in cost savings over producing new sensors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] Reprocessing includes operations performed to render a used reusable or single-use device patient-ready or to allow an unused product that has been opened to be patient-ready. Reprocessing can be done in-house or by a third-party reprocessor. Whether reprocessesing is done in-house or through a third party, reprocessing generally involves cleaning, sterilization, function testing and/or replacement of components.
[0021] In this context, cleaning can mean removal of visible contaminants and environmental debris (including microscopic particles of tissue, body waste, body fluids, dirt, and/or dust). Function testing verifies that a device will perform as intended. Sterilization in the context of reprocessing can mean meeting domestic and/or international sterilization standards, such as meeting a sterility assurance level of 10-6 (i.e. a theoretical one in a million chance that an organism could survive).
[0022] FIG. 1A illustrates a top view of an example non-invasive physiological sensor 100 which can be used with a sensor refurbishing process according to embodiments of the disclosure. In certain embodiments, the sensor 100 may allow for the measurement of blood constituents and related parameters, including oxygen saturation, HbCO, HBMet and/or pulse rate. The sensor 100 may advantageously be a non-invasive optical sensor capable of emitting light and outputting one or more signals indicative of attenuation of that light by body tissue. For example, the sensor 100 may be a pulse oximeter sensor including, for example, a red emitter, an infrared emitter, and a photodiode detector. The sensor 100 may be attached to a patient's finger, earlobe, or foot. For a finger, the sensor can be configured so that the emitters project light from one side of the finger, through the outer tissue of the finger, and into the blood vessels and capillaries contained inside. The photodiode can be positioned at the opposite side of the finger to detect the emitted light as it emerges from the outer tissues of the finger. The photodiode can generate a signal based on the emitted light and relay that signal to the sensor 100. The sensor 100 can determine blood oxygen saturation by, for example, computing the differential absorption by the arterial blood of the two or more wavelengths emitted by the sensor.
[0023] In certain embodiments, the sensor 100 can be adapted to attach to a tissue site. The sensor 100 can include a sensor assembly 105, a patient monitor connector 110, a sensor cable 115 operatively connecting the sensor assembly 105 and a monitor connector 110. The monitor connector 110 can be adapted to connect to a patient monitor which may include a display providing readouts of measured parameters, such as oxygen saturation, pulse rate, HbCO and/or HbMet to name a few. The sensor assembly 105 can comprise one or more emitters 120 and a detector 125. In certain embodiments, the sensor 100 utilizes an adhesive attachment mechanism 130, such as an adhesive layer, for attaching the sensor 100 to a tissue site. In some embodiments, the sensor can be disposable, re-usable, or partially reusable and partially disposable.
[0024] After the sensor 100 is used on a patient, the used sensor can be refurbished through a refurbishing process. Typically, refurbishing or reprocessing of medical sensors can include disassembling sensors into sub-components, testing sensor components, replacing sensor components, reassembly of the components, testing of the sensor and/or sterilization of the sensor. In some embodiments of the reprocessing process, the entire sensor assembly 105 can be replaced, reusing only the cable 115 and monitor connector 110. In certain embodiments, the cable 115 and/or monitor connector 110 can also be replaced. In some embodiments, only portions of the sensor assembly 105, such as the sensing components, 120, 125 are replaced.
[0025] In some embodiments, the whole sensor assembly 105 is replaced. Replacing the whole sensor assembly 105 can reduce or eliminate the need to disassemble the sensor and/or test components during the refurbishing process. For example, the replacement sensor can be pre-tested and/or calibrated beforehand, such as during production, so that testing the sensor components is not required. During reprocessing, the old sensor assembly 105 can be detached from the cable 115, for example, by cutting along a section of the cable 140. The cable 115 can be cut along any section, but preferably is cut near the sensor assembly 105 so that a larger portion of the cable 115 can be reused. After the old sensor assembly 105 is removed, a new sensor assembly is attached to the old cable and tested to determine whether the sensor 100 operates correctly.
[0026] In some embodiments, the new sensor assembly includes a cable portion, typically of short length, for attachment to a reprocessed cable. In some embodiments, the cable portion can terminate in a connector for simplified attachment to the reprocessed cable.
[0027] FIGS. IB and 1C illustrate the attachment of a new sensor assembly to a reused sensor cable 115 of FIG. 1A. The sensor cable 115 having a number of wires 145 is attached to a new sensor assembly having a number of wires 155. In one embodiment, the sensor assembly 150 includes a cable portion extending from the sensor assembly containing the sensor assembly wires 155. In one embodiment, at least part of the cable covering the wires 145, 155 is removed to expose the wires 145, 155 for easier access.
[0028] In FIG. 1C, the wires 145, 155 are attached to operatively connect the sensor cable 115 and the sensor assembly 150. The connection can be both mechanical and electrical. Attachment of the wires 145, 155 can be through soldering, pressure, tying, adhesive and/or the like. A cable covering 160 can be applied over the connection area to cover exposed wires and/or strengthen the mechanical connection between the cable 115 and the sensor assembly 150.
[0029] Although disclosed with reference to the above sensor 100, an artisan will recognize from the disclosure herein a wide variety of oximeter sensors, optical sensors, noninvasive sensors, medical sensors, disposable sensors, reusable sensors or the like that may benefit from embodiments of the refurbishing process disclosed herein.
[0030] FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view of a sensor embodiment 200 having a detachable sensor assembly 205 usable in a refurbishing process. The sensor 200 includes the sensor assembly 205 and a cable assembly 207. The sensor assembly 205 includes a sensor, a cable 215 and a connector 220. The cable assembly includes a connector 245, a cable 250 and a monitor connector 255. The sensor connector 220 is attachable to the cable connector 245. The connectors 220, 245 form a releasable mechanical and electrical connection between the sensor assembly and the cable assembly. The connectors 220, 245 can include pins 230 and corresponding pin connectors for forming an electrical connection between the sensor portion 205 and cable portion 207. Connector assemblies are disclosed in U.S. Application No. 12/248,856 assigned to Masimo Corp. and is incorporated by reference herein.
[0031] During reprocessing, the connectors 220, 245 facilitate replacement of either the sensor assembly 205 or the cable assembly 207 of the sensor 200. For example, the sensor portion 205 can be replaced whole by detaching the old sensor assembly 205 from the cable assembly 207 via the sensor connector 220 and replacing with a new sensor assembly by attaching the new sensor connector to the old cable connector 245. The use of a connector also allows replacement of the sensor assembly 205 on-site, for example at a hospital. The sensor assembly 205 can then be sent for refurbishing without also sending the cable assembly, thus reducing shipping costs.
[0032] FIGS. 3 A illustrates an exploded perspective view of a disposable sensor assembly 300. The sensor assembly includes one or more tape layers 305, 315 and a sensor portion 310. The sensor portion 310 includes a base material 318, one or more sensing components 320, 325 such as emitters and or detectors, and an electrical connector 330. The sensor portion can further include a sensor cover 345 for one or more of the sensing components. Sensor components can be replaced individually or together as part of the sensor portion 310.
[0033] In one embodiment, the base material 318, preferably a flexible material, comprises a flex circuit. The flex circuit can comprise a copper/MYLAR™ or copper/Capton™ laminant, or similar material. Alternatively, the flex circuit can be formed by depositing a conductive ink on MYLAR™, polyester, or plastic film. The flex circuit allows electrical communication between the sensing components 320, 325 and electrical connector 330 through the conductive material on the flex circuit.
[0034] The sensing components 320, 325 can be attached to the base material 318 through pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), solder, clip holder, pressure fit or the like. In one embodiment, the emitter and detector are placed such that the transmission and detection field of view are through detector and emitter windows formed on the base material. [0035] In one embodiment, the sensing components 320, 325 are attached to the flex-circuit using pressure or thermally sensitive adhesive configured to provide a temporary bond, advantageously allowing the sensing components 320, 325 to be detached from the sensor portion 310 by pulling the sensing components from the base material 318. As will be apparent, other attachment methods can be used that facilitate removal of sensor components in order to simplify the refurbishing process, such as nodular metal paste, mechanical attachments, or the like.
[0036] In another embodiment, the sensing components are attached to the flex- circuit using low temperature solder paste. The sensing components can be desoldered from the flex circuit. The solder can be reheated and reused or new solder can be dispensed on contacts for the detector connections and/or emitter connections in order to attach new sensing components. The solder operation is preferably performed through a direct heat reflow of the low temperature solder.
[0037] The sensor portion 310 can further comprise a flex circuit shield including an insulator film, conductive and/or non-conductive PSA. When attached to a flex circuit, a flex circuit shield can insulate the signal traces of the flex circuit from the metallization of the flex circuit shield to prevent short circuits. The sensor portion 310 can be attached to a base layer 305. In one embodiment, the base layer comprises Avery base material. Each side of the base layer can be coated with PSA adhesive.
[0038] A face stock 315 can be attached to the base layer 305 such that the sensor portion 310 is secured between the face stock and the base material. In one embodiment, the face stock 315 is advantageously constructed from a non- woven, flexible material, though woven materials can be used. Adhesive can be applied on one side of the face stock. Pressure applied to the face stock 315 bonds the face stock with the base material 305 and/or sensor portion 310. Preferably, the face stock has an aperture 340 to allow a portion of the cover 345 to protrude through the face stock. A release liner can be placed on the other side of the base material from the face stock in order to protect adhesive on that side. The release liner can be removed when the sensor is attached to a patient.
[0039] During reprocessing, the sensor assembly 300 can be disassembled into its constituent parts. For example, the face stock 315 can be detached from the base material 305 to expose the sensor portion 310. The sensing components 320, 325 on the sensor portion can be replaced individually or together as part of the sensor portion 310. In one embodiment, the sensing components 320, 325 are replaced individually with at least some of the sensor portion 310 retained. After replacing the sensing components, the sensor can be reassembled. The base layer 305, face stock 315, and/or cover 345 can be replaced or reused. New adhesive can be applied to the sensor assembly 300 and a release liner attached. Once reassembled, the sensor assembly 300 can be sterilized and then packaged for use.
[0040] FIG. 3B illustrates the disposable sensor of FIG. 3A attached to a tissue site and a cable assembly. The cable assembly 350 comprises a cable and a connector attachable to the sensor assembly 300 via its sensor connector 330. The cable assembly 350 operatively connects the sensor assembly 300 to a patient monitor. The cable portion 350 can also be reprocessed with the sensor assembly 300 and replaced if defective. However, as the cable portion generally receives less wear than the sensor assembly 300, the cable portion can likely be reused without replacement of components, reducing the cost of reprocessing the sensor.
[0041] FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of a neonate sensor assembly 400 with a detachable sensor portion 405 usable in a refurbishing process. The sensor includes the sensor portion 405, an elongated body 410, and a connector portion 412. The sensor portion 405 incorporates one or more emitters 420, a detector assembly 425, and a sensor portion pinout 435. The sensor portion pinout 430 is configured to connect with a body pinout 430 so as to mechanically and electrically connect the sensor to the body 410. Connection can be accomplished by solder, adhesive, mechanically such as by tab, sleeve or clip, or by other connection mechanism. The body 410 includes signal traces between the sensor portion pinout 435 and the connector portion 412. The connector portion 412 has a plug portion configured to insert into a mating patient cable connector so as to mechanically and electrically connect the sensor 400 to a patient cable, for example. The connector portion 412 is configured with a connector tab 415 supporting sensor pinouts 440.
[0042] As the sensor portion 405 is detachable from the elongate body 410, reprocessing of the sensor is simplified. For example, the sensor portion 405 can be detached from the elongate body and replaced with a new sensor portion 405. By incorporating sensing elements, such as the emitters 420 and the detector 410 on the detachable modular portion, the sensing elements can be easily replaced as a whole rather than individually, thus reducing refurbishing costs and refurbishing time. In one embodiment, the sensing elements can be pre-tested in order to eliminate or reduce the need for testing the sensor elements.
[0043] FIGS. 5 A, 5B and 6 illustrate flow charts for embodiments of a refurbishing process replacing sensor components. The refurbishing process can be used for the sensors described in FIGS. 1 A - 4 and FIGS. 7-9B, as well as other types of sensors. In some embodiments, the refurbishing process may be performed by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, the one or more computing devices configured to perform one or more of the logical blocks described below. The logical blocks of the refurbishing process can be embodied as software, hardware, or a combination of software and hardware of the computing system. For example, the refurbishing process may be embodied in software stored on non-transitory, physical computer storage such as a hard drive, optical disk or flash memory. In some embodiments, the computing system may be part of a refurbishing system comprising one or more machines configured to dissemble sensors, replace sensor components, test sensors and/or sterilize sensors. In one embodiment, the computing system directs or monitors the operation of the refurbishing machines. In one embodiment, the machines operate automatically. In some embodiments, one or more logical blocks may be performed by or directed by a person. For example, the entire refurbishing process may be performed by or directed by one or more persons.
[0044] In FIG. 5A the process 500 begins at block 505 with disassembling the sensor, in whole or in part, into subcomponents or individual components. Sensors can be disassembled through desoldering, removing adhesive, detaching connectors, or the like.
[0045] At bock 510, the sensor components can optionally be tested. For example, sensor components can be tested to determine if performance is within specification. Sensor components within specification can be reused. Testing of components can be skipped to reduce cost and/or speed up the refurbishing process.
[0046] In one embodiment, testing can be conducted before disassembly to determine if the sensor as a whole is within specification. Generally, sensors need to meet specified sensor performance criteria determined by the manufacturer or purchaser. By testing before disassembly, out-of-specification sensing components can be detected beforehand and the sensing portion can be replaced as a whole without disassembly. In contrast, by testing after disassembly, a specific out-of-spec component can be identified, allowing reuse of the other parts of the sensing portion that are still in-spec. The timing of the testing can be chosen based on the costs of disassembly versus the savings from reusing still in-specification components. After block 510, the refurbishing process proceeds to block 515.
[0047] At block 515, sensor components are replaced. In one embodiment, sensor components are replaced if determined to be out-of-spec. In another embodiment, no testing is performed and pre-determined sensor components are replaced. For example, as part of the refurbishing process, all or some of the sensing components can be replaced without testing. Advantageously, predetermined replacement of components can eliminate or reduce the need for testing or disassembly. After block 515, the refurbishing process proceeds to block 520.
[0048] At block 520, the sensor is reassembled. Reassembly can comprise soldering, adhesively connecting, and/or mechanically connecting various components together. Typically, the assembled sensor comprises both new components and at least some of the original components. After block 520, the refurbishing process proceeds to block 525.
[0049] At block 525, the assembled sensor is optionally tested to determine if the sensor works and is within specification for the particular sensor type. Testing can include testing of the assembly of the sensor components, testing of the electrical connection between sensor components, testing of sensor performance, and/or the like. If the test fails, the sensor can reenter the refurbishing process at block 505 or can be disposed of. If the sensor passes the test, the refurbishing process proceeds to block 530. In some embodiments, testing may be unnecessary during reprocessing, such as when the sensor components are pre-tested before assembling the sensor.
[0050] At block 530, the sensor is sterilized. Sterilization can occur before or after the sensor is packaged for use. The sensor can also be cleaned before sterilization. After sterilization, the sensor can be packaged for use, ending the refurbishing process. [0051] FIG. 5B generally illustrates the same process as FIG. 5 A, except that optional block 510, testing of the sensor components, occurs before block 505, disassembling the sensor. Testing of the components can be individually, by group, or of the whole sensor. By testing the sensor components before dissembling the sensor, components that need to be replaced can be identified before disassembly, potentially reducing the number of components to be detached.
[0052] FIG. 6 illustrates another embodiment of a refurbishing process 600 for a sensor comprising replaceable modular assemblies. The refurbishing process can be used for the sensors described in FIGS. 1 A - 4 and FIGS. 7-9B, as well as other types of sensors. In one embodiment, the sensor is composed of modules, such as a sensor assembly and a cable assembly. In some embodiments, a sensor assembly comprises a modular sensor portion. The sensor portion can further comprise adhesive portions, a sensor body, and/or electrical or mechanical connectors. During reprocessing, the modular assembly is replaced. By replacing the modular assembly as a whole, the need for testing sensor components can be reduced or eliminated, thus reducing costs. For example, in FIG. 1A, the sensor assembly 100 can be replaced as whole. Likewise with the sensor assembly 205 of FIG. 2, the sensor portion 310 of FIG. 3, and the sensor portion 405 of FIG. 4. Furthermore, modular assemblies can be pretested during their production, simplifying the refurbishing process.
[0053] At block 605, the refurbishing process begins by detaching the modular assembly from the sensor. In some embodiments, a sensor portion 405 (in Fig. 4) is detached from a sensor assembly 400. In some embodiments, a sensor assembly 105 (in Fig.l) is detached from a cable assembly 140, for example, by cutting the sensor assembly from the cable. In some embodiments, detaching of the modular assembly can be simplified by using a connector 220 (in FIG. 2), 405 (in FIG. 4). After block 605, the refurbishing process proceeds to block 610.
[0054] At block 610, the modular assembly is attached to the sensor. The attached modular assembly can be a sensor portion attached to a sensor assembly or a sensor assembly attached to a cable assembly. Typically, the assembled sensor comprises both new components and at least some of the original components. Generally, the cable assembly receives less wear and tear during use and is likely to perform within specification without replacement. However, in some situations, the cable assembly can be replaced in addition or instead of the sensor portion or assembly. Reattachment can be accomplished through use of a connecter, splicing of wires, adhesive connection, soldering, or the like.
[0055] As replacement is accomplished by replacing groups of components, such as a sensor assembly, cable assembly, and/or a sensor portion, reassembly of the sensor is simplified in comparison to replacement of individual components. If component costs are cheap relative to assembly and disassembly cost, the simplified reassembly can reduce the costs of refurbishing. After block 610, the refurbishing process proceeds to block 620.
[0056] At block 620, the assembled sensor is optionally tested to determine if the sensor works and is within specification for the particular sensor type. Testing can include testing of the assembly of the sensor components, testing of the electrical connection between sensor components, testing of sensor performance, and/or the like. If the test fails, the sensor can reenter the refurbishing process at block 605 or can be disposed of. If the sensor passes the test, the refurbishing process proceeds to block 625. In some embodiments, testing during reprocessing may be unnecessary, such as when the sensor portion is pre-tested before assembling the sensor.
[0057] At block 625, the sensor is sterilized. Sterilization can occur before or after the sensor is packaged for use. The sensor can also be cleaned before sterilization. Once packaged, the sensor can be delivered to an end-user.
[0058] FIG. 7 illustrates a perspective view of one embodiment of reusable sensor 700 usable in a refurbishing process according to embodiments of the disclosure. The reusable sensor can be a clip-type sensor including an upper housing 722, a lower housing 724 and a hinge element 726. The upper and lower housings 722, 724 house electrical and/or optical components (not shown) of the non-invasive physiological sensor 720. For example, the upper and lower housings 722, 724 can house sensing elements 730, 732, such as one or more light emitters or LEDs and a detector or light sensor. The sensor 720 can be connected to a patient monitor via a cable 728. For example, the detector outputs a signal to the monitor over the cable 728 which then processes the signal to provide a numerical readout of physiological parameters such as oxygen saturation (Sp02) and pulse rate. [0059] During refurbishing, one or both the sensing elements 730, 732 can be removed and/or replaced from the reusable sensor 700. The sensor elements can be tested separately or as part of the reusable sensor. Other components of the reusable sensor can also be replaced during the refurbishing process,
[0060] FIG. 8A illustrates an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of a disposable sensor 800 usable in a refurbishing process according to embodiments of the disclosure. The sensor includes one or more tape layers 805, 810, a cable assembly 815, and a sensor portion 818. The cable assembly 815 can terminate at an electric connector 816 and can be attached to one of the tape layers 805. The sensor portion 818 includes a base material 819, one or more sensing components 820, 825 such as emitters and/or detectors, and an electrical connector 830. Sensor components can be replaced individually or together as part of the sensor portion 818. The sensor portion's electrical connector 830 can attach to the cable assembly's electrical connector 816 to form an electrical connection between the sensor portion and the cable. The sensor portion 818 can be attached to the cable assembly 815 and/or one or more tape layers 805, 810 by various ways, such as adhesive, solder, clip holder, pressure fit and/or the like. In one embodiment, the sensor assembly 815 and sensor portion 818 are sandwiched between a first layer 805 and a second 810 tape layer.
[0061] As the sensor portion 818 is detachable from the cable assembly 815 and/or tape layers 805, 810, reprocessing of the sensor is simplified. For example, the sensor portion 818 can be detached from the elongate body and replaced with a new sensor portion. By incorporating sensing components 820, 825, such as emitters and/or detectors on the detachable modular portion, the sensing components can be easily replaced as a whole rather than individually, thus reducing refurbishing costs and refurbishing time. In one embodiment, the sensing components can be pre-tested in order to eliminate or reduce the need for testing the sensing components during the refurbishing process.
[0062] FIG. 8B illustrates a perspective view of the bottom side of the sensor portion 818 of FIG. 8 A. The electrical connector 830 is shown on the bottom side of the sensor portion. However, the electrical connector can also be placed on the top side.
[0063] FIGS. 9A and 9B illustrate embodiments of mechanical sensor component holders. FIG. 9A illustrates a cross-sectional view of a sensor component attached to a sensor via a clip holder. The sensor component 905 is held in place by one or more clip arms 910 extending over the sensor component. The sensor component 905 can be detached for replacement by pushing the clip arms 910 outward and removing the sensor component 905.
[0064] FIG. 9B illustrates a cross-sectional view of a sensor component attached to a sensor via a pressure or snug fit holder. The sides of the holder 915 are biased inwards, holding the sensor component together via pressure. The sensor component 905 can be detached for replacement by pushing the sides of the holder 915 outward and removing the sensor component 905.
[0065] The reusable nature of the mechanical holders allows replacement of the sensor component without requiring new attachment mechanisms, such as replacement adhesive or solder, thus reducing refurbishing costs and/or complexity. As will be apparent, other types of mechanical holders can be used and mechanical holders can be used with both disposable and reusable sensors.
