INTERFACE DEVICE CARRYING ONE OR MORE SENSORS IDENTIFYING VARIABLES RELATED TO FLUID FLOW DELIVERED THROUGH DEVICE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61M15/08 A61M16/06 A61B5/1455 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medical equipment. A system for connecting a fluid flow into an individual's airway and measuring fluid variables comprises a nasal cannula bearing sensors for generating output signals transmitting the fluid flow variables between the individual's nostrils and nasal cannula. The nasal cannula has a main canal and a pair of hollow projections extended from the main canal. The hollow projections are configured to be inserted into the individual's nostrils so that the fluid flow in the main canal is connected to the individual's nostrils by the hollow projections. The sensors are mounted on the nasal cannula so that a section of each of the sensors is arranged on one of the hollow projections or nearby. The sensors are configured to be removed from the nasal cannula so that the removable sensors can be re-used with the other nasal cannula. The sensors comprise a pulse oximeter. The nasal cannula forms a pair of sleeves for comprise a sliding mechanism of pulse oximeter legs. One of the sleeves is integrated with one of the hollow projections.

EFFECT: using invention enables providing easier replaceability with ensuring high level of hygiene.
