1. A reprocessed physiological sensor comprising:
a first physiological sensor component that is not a replacement physiological sensor component;
a replacement physiological sensor component that is a replacement for a previously used physiological sensor component, wherein a performance of the replacement physiological sensor component meets a specification of the reprocessed physiological sensor, and wherein a performance of the previously used physiological sensor component does not satisfy a threshold; and
a used cable component including:
at a first end, a monitor connector; and
at a second end from which the previously used physiological sensor component was cut, a new attachment via a wire portion to the first and replacement physiological sensor components.
