Abstract :
We describe a continuous wave near infrared oximeter and its calibration protocol. The system performs quantitative assessments exploiting precise absorption measurements close to the absorption peak of the water: 975nm. We report the procedures and the systematic in vitro tests adopted to characterize and calibrate the entire system. A final stability analysis is reported to validate the instrumentation
