2074956 9111137 PCTABS00006 A noninvasive system and method for monitoring arterial oxygen saturation levels and blood pressure. The apparatus includes a read LED (54) and an infrared LED (56) which are positioned to direct their respective light beams into, or reflected by a patient's body part. A phototransducer device (64) is positioned to receive the light beams (608, 62) which are transmitted through the body part. A pressure cuff (34) surrounds the body part (36) and the LEDs (54, 56). During calibration periods, pressure is applied to the body part (36) and the systolic and mean blood pressures and the arterial oxygen saturation level are determined. The pressure is then released from the body part (36) and another arterial oxygen saturation level is determined and the difference between the two oxygen saturation levels is used as a calibration factor during later monitoring periods to remove the effect of non-arterial oxygen saturation levels on the values obtained during the subsequent monitoring period.
