Incorporated to a finger grip device (2) are an oximeter (16) that measures the SP02 of the patient and a fingerprint sensor (18) for sensing the fingerprint of the finger from which the SP02 is measured. The sensed fingerprint is used to identify the patient. By thus establishing the identity of the patient, the measured SP02 could readily be associated with the patient and appropriately displayed and stored, either at the patient site or remotely. The monitored data could also be readily associated with records of the patient and other physiological could data of the patient that may have been prestored in the controller to which the finger grip device is connected, or in a memory at a remote location. Mistakes in patient identification and the correspondence of wrong patient data to patients are thereby substantially reduced if not eliminated.

Selon l'invention, sont incorporés à un dispositif de préhension digital (2), qui mesure la SpO¿2? du patient, et un capteur d'empreinte digitale (18), qui capte l'empreinte du doigt à partir duquel SpO¿2? est mesurée. L'empreinte digitale captée sert à identifier le patient. En établissant ainsi l'identité du patient, on pourrait rapidement lui associer la SpO¿2? mesurée, l'afficher et la stocker de manière appropriée sur le site du patient ou à distance. On pourrait également rapidement associer les données surveillées à des registres du patient et à d'autres données physiologiques de ce dernier que l'on aurait préenregistrées dans le contrôleur auquel le dispositif de préhension digital est relié, ou dans une mémoire à distance. Ainsi, des erreurs au niveau de l'identification du patient et la correspondance de données erronées avec des patients sont sensiblement réduites voire éliminées.
