Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pulse oximeter technology, specifically a pulse oximeter probe performance testing device. Background Technology
[0002] A pulse oximeter is an instrument that measures the oxygen saturation in a person's blood. When the oxygen saturation drops, it indicates that there is a lack of oxygen in the body and that the body needs to replenish its oxygen saturation.
[0003] A pulse oximeter is an important medical instrument used to measure the oxygen saturation in human blood. When blood oxygen saturation drops, it indicates hypoxia in the body, requiring oxygen supplementation. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of pulse oximeters, performance testing of their probes is crucial. However, traditional testing methods often rely on manual simulation or direct testing on patients, which are not only inefficient but also potentially risky and inconvenient. Therefore, developing a device that can simulate real-world conditions and efficiently and accurately test the performance of pulse oximeter probes is of paramount importance. Utility Model Content

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: a power connection port is provided on the bottom outer wall of one end of the outer shell, and the output end of the power connection port is electrically connected to the input end of the backup battery.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the top of the outer shell is detachably connected to an inspection cover, and the bottom sidewalls on both sides of the outer shell are fixedly connected to fixing blocks.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By filling a reservoir with simulated blood liquid and a simulated skin layer, this invention can simulate the real human body environment and blood oxygenation measurement scenarios, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.
