IRVINE, Calif., April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Masimo (Nasdaq: MASI), the inventor of Pulse CO-Oximetry and Measure-Through-Motion-and-Low-Perfusion pulse oximetry, today announced an agreement with Atom Medical Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of neonatal products and technologies, to integrate Masimo Rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry into its current and future product solutions.
"Since standardizing on Masimo technology more than 10 years ago, our neonatal monitoring solutions and customers have greatly benefited from the superior performance of Masimo SET pulse oximetry," said Kazuo Matsubara, President of Atom Medical. "Now, with the groundbreaking capabilities of Masimo Rainbow SET and its ability to provide vital measurements that previously required invasive lab procedures, we are confident that the clinical community which we serve will experience even greater clinical and financial benefits from our solutions."
Masimo Rainbow SET is the first and only technology platform capable of noninvasively and continuously measuring total hemoglobin (SpHbTM) and oxygen content (SpOCTM) -- both measurements pending FDA and other regulatory clearances -- as well as carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO(R)), methemoglobin (SpMet(R)), and pleth variability index (PVITM), in addition to oxyhemoglobin (SpO2), perfusion index (PI), and pulse rate (PR).
Masimo Rainbow SET has the potential to help clinicians save lives through more rapid diagnosis of potentially life-threatening conditions, allowing faster treatment decisions and improved patient outcomes. The latest Masimo Rainbow SET measurement, SpHb, may enable medical personnel in both hospital and outpatient settings to quickly identify anemia or blood loss without having to draw blood or wait for lab results.
In neonatal settings, the ability to continuously and noninvasively
measure a patient's methemoglobin levels is especially important due to the
risks associated with the use of inha
