The holder includes an implantation hole being a channel for implanting the sensor, and containing a part of the sensor; a containing indentation containing the signal output end; a fixing indentation fixing thereto the sensor and communicating with the containing indentation; a waterproof seal disposed above the implantation hole; an elastic divider disposed in the implantation hole to separate the implantation hole into two parts and having a cross sectional area that is equal to or greater than a cross-sectional area of the implantation hole; and a septum disposed between the containing indentation and the fixing indentation, and holding a part of the sensor.

An oximetry device sealed in a sheath directs a user to allow the oximetry device to make oximetry readings at a number of different tissue locations of a patient and average two or more of the oximetry readings by directing the lifts and placements of the oximetry device and sheath to and from the different tissue locations and detecting the lift and placements. The averages are generated and displayed on a display of the device for the oximetry readings if the lifts are made while use directions for the lifts are displayed on a display of the oximetry device. The averages are not generated if the lifts are not made while the user directions for the lifts are not displayed. The averages are simultaneously displayed with the oximetry readings which are instantaneous measurement for patient tissue.
