Pulse oximeters have become standard equipment in both biomedical education and clinical settings. Since the operational principles of a pulse oximeter are straightforward, and since the analysis of these sensor data require basic computational and mathematical toolsets, this type of device is well suited to hands-on experiences geared toward both undergraduate and graduate students. However, this seemingly simple type of biomedical device offers challenges in the areas of motion artifact reduction, light excitation/collection, signal fidelity, and parameter extraction that provide rich material for undergraduate and graduate education and research. This paper addresses a new design for a silver-dollar-sized reflectance pulse oximeter that is easy for students to use and incorporates multiple design enhancements that result in high-quality photo-plethysmograms. The pulse oximeter communicates with a Lab VIEW virtual instrument via a serial USB interface. The double sided pulse oximeter board contains surface mount circuitry on one side and a reflectance sensor on the other side, where large area photodiodes are arranged radially around a central, dual red & near-infrared LED excitation source. The pulse oximeter is unique in that it is entirely digitally controlled and adjusts signal baselines depending on existing light levels. Additionally, it provides high fidelity red and near-infrared plethysmograms that demonstrate hundreds of analog-to-digital converter levels from peak to valley. Because the plethysmograms are unfiltered, they are good candidates for education and research projects that address signal filtering, blood oxygen saturation calculation algorithms, physiological parameter extraction from photo-plethysmographic signals, light/tissue interaction modeling, and the use of photo-plethysmograms in applications such as biométrie authentication. These new devices have been employed in (a) a Fall 2006 lecture/laboratory pair within a biomedical instrumenta
