Abstract

See full text

A pulse oximeter includes a light-emitting device for repeating red light emission, infrared light emission, and no light emission with respect to an object to be measured every data sampling cycle in a measurement of a saturated oxygen in arterial blood, a light-receiving device for outputting a light-receiving signal obtained by receiving transmitted light or reflected light from the object to be measured; a noise level detecting device for detecting from the light-receiving signal a noise signal level at the time of no light emission in the light-receiving device, and a light-receiving signal generating device for obtaining a light-receiving signal of a level corresponding only to the red light emission and the infrared light emission by subtracting the noise signal level from each of light-receiving signal levels of the red light emission and the infrared light emission.
