OB1203 Certification Preparation, Setup, and Test Procedure
Overview
SpO2 measurements are affected by two variations in the human body. The first is skin color. The second is the
blood perfusion, which causes optical modulation and varies based on the person's temperature and health.
Changes in these variants affect SpO2 measurements.
In this pre-calibration test procedure, both of these variables are simulated and the oximeter output is monitored.
Renesas provides test stimuli simulating various conditions that represent the majority of the human population.
Therefore, a successful execution in the actual human subject testing certification testing can be assumed.

    In this pre-calibration test procedure, both of these variables are simulated and the oximeter output is monitored. Renesas provides test stimuli simulating various conditions that represent the majority of the human population. Therefore, a successful execution in the actual human subject testing certification testing can be assumed.
  • Page 2: Test Purpose

    OB1203 Certification Preparation, Setup, and Test Procedure 1. Test Purpose Customers who desire to obtain regulatory certification for their product equipped with Renesas’ OB1203 will need to perform human subject testing. Since these tests are time consuming and complex, it is best to prepare by performing pre-setup and pre-tests dry runs.
  • Page 3: Opto-Mechanical Test Fixture

    Renesas has created a universal test adapter that can be machined or 3D printed. For more details, please see below.
  • Page 4 It has been determined that aluminum foil is a good material for this purpose, and Renesas has provided an applicator to insert the foil properly. This applicator can also be 3D printed.
  • Page 5: Mounting The Reference Board And Opto-Mechanical Test Adapter

    The fixture is machined or printed as required to fit the case of the DUT, aligning the cross bar in the fixture with the center of the OB1203, and not blocking the LEDs or detector. The fit must exclude external light. The DUT must be mechanically aligned and securely mounted to the fixture.

Create a new project as described in the Renesas Flash Programmer Manual (please see the manual on the Flash Programmer webpage) which is downloaded with the Flash Programmer software. 3. In the Programmer setup, use as controller the RL78 group, R5F100BG as device, and the .mot file as the programming file.

    OB1203 Certification Preparation, Setup, and Test Procedure Initial Setup of the AECG100 Tester 5.1.1. Calibration of Opto-mechanical Test Fixture This test calibrates the optical parameters of the test fixture and ensures that the DUT receives sufficient signal to continue with this test. To assure a consistent reference, this step is performed with the OB1203SD-RL-EVK reference board as described in the previous steps.
  • Page 11: Dut Determination And Correction Of Sp02 Errors Induced By External Optical Crosstalk

    External Optical Crosstalk Background The OB1203 is designed to be used either in direct contact with skin or with a secondary cover window. If the final DUT implementation uses an additional cover window, it may provide a path for additional optical crosstalk between the LEDs and the detector.
  • Page 12 Note ADC counts per mA IR Next, enter the ADC and mA values of the DUT with cover glass in the header file OB1203.h, as cross_ir_adc, cross_ir_mA, cross_r_adc, cross_r_mA. In the following example, the IR current was 170mA and the IR ADC count 600.

    Figure 13. Before and After Correction The results in the graph show that while cross-coupling through a cover window can have a large effect on accuracy, the OB1203 software can successfully correct for any particular cover window inducing cross- coupling.
