PULSE OXIMETRY
Science at the heart of medicine
An indispensable tool in almost all Health Care Venues
$600-‐700m global market as of 2014. Will double by the end of the decade
n Noninvasive measurement of arterial blood oxygenaGon. • Quick • Cheap • Accurate without needing
calibraGon • Detects potenGally life-‐

Unfortunately, current pulse oximeters DO NOT work for those who have
weak or absent pulses
Science at the heart of medicine
Two common causes of pulselessness:
Peripheral Vascular Disease: very common in older age groups, so likely to increase among paGents needing monitoring in the future. (NIH 2012)
Con.nuous-‐flow leF ventricular assist devices (LVADs): Increasing in prevalence in US (PlugMed 2012)
Pulse Oximetry Failure is not uncommon
§ Fails in 2.5%, not a trivial problem, considering the 1 billion office visits, 130 million ER visits, and 100 million surgical procedures per year (CDC esGmates)
§ The sickest paGents-‐-‐-‐those most in need of monitoring-‐-‐-‐had 7% failure rate.

To solve this problem, we created and tested a new “Pulseless” Oximetry technique
Science at the heart of medicine
§ 5 to 10 second occlusion of radial and ulnar arteries § Abrupt release § Analysis of photoplethysmograms during the ~1 second after release. § The details of our proof of concept study are shown in a poster available
for view during the break.
§ To date, we have used manual occlusion of the arteries, but occlusion could be automated.

Science at the heart of medicine
§ The device could funcGon as a standard pulse oximeter, w/ or w/o the bracelet applied to the wrist. § When pulselessness is detected, pulseless oximetry measurements would be carried out. § The screen would display photoplethysmograms, allowing verificaGon of venous oualow during occlusion and arterial inflow upon release.

Conclusions
• Pulseless oximetry can measure arterial oxygenation noninvasively. • Additional wavelengths could allow carboxy- & methemoglobins to
be measured. • The device could function as a standard pulse oximeter until
pulselessness is detected. > Opportunity to claim a large share of the soon-to-be $1 billion world-
wide pulse oximeter market. • The next step is to partner with a biotechnology company to:
> Build and test a fully-functional prototype > Apply for Regulatory approval > Manufacture and market the device

Basis of standard pulse oximetry
Science at the heart of medicine
• Transilluminate a fingertip with at least 2 wavelengths, e.g., 660nm (red) and 905nm (infrared).
• Determine absorbance of each wavelength by pulsing arterial blood (and not other components of the fingertip) by measuring changing transmission during pulses
• Convert to absorbance (really attenuance).
• Calculate ratio of attenuance of red to attenuance of infrared
660nm (red)
905nm (infrared)
Without a discernable pulse, standard pulse oximetry fails

5 to 10 second Radial and Ulnar artery occlusion
Typical photo-‐plethysmograms
n A normal test subject (not pulseless).
n Data from the 1 second aeer release of occlusion are selected for analysis.
Calcula.on of aQenuances
Calcula.on of R/IR ra.o
n Transmission (T) is normalized to peak.
n Agenuance (A) is calculated as log (1/T)
n Agenuance of red wavelength is ploged against agenuance of IR.
n The slope (0.566 in this example) is average R/IR raGo.
n Arteries but not veins are occluded, allowing venous oualow.

An example of the technique in an LVAD patient
§ Five sequential radial and
ulnar occlusions and releases in one LVAD patient.
§ Measured SaO2 was 99.5% by COoximetry.
§ Estimated SaO2 using our technique was 97.5%.
§ So far, we have studied four LVAD patients.
