FDNY Makes Largest First Responder Purchase of Masimo Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeters to Improve Survival of Firefighters and Victims of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Date:9/8/2009

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Masimo (Nasdaq: MASI), the inventor of Pulse CO-Oximetry(TM) and Measure-Through Motion and Low-Perfusion pulse oximetry, today announced that the Fire Department of New York City (FDNY) has purchased 86 Masimo Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeters as part of their strategic initiative to "improve the survivability of firefighters and victims suffering from carbon monoxide (CO) toxicity."
