ring Masimo SET (but without Rainbow capability). Rad-5: In addition to the bedside monitors, the company has developed handheld pulse oximeters using Masimo SET. The company’s Rad-5 and Rad-5v handheld oximeters are handhelds with Masimo SET. Rad-57: The Rad-57 is a featured handheld pulse CO-Oximeter that provides continuous, noninvasive measurement of carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin in addition to oxygen saturation, pulse rate, perfusion, and index. It is applicable for use in hospital and field settings, specifically for fire departments and EMS units. SEDLine monitor: The SEDLine monitor measures brain function on a continuous basis. SEDLine, an EEG-based brain function monitor, provides information about a patient’s response to anesthesia. Sensors Sensors and Cables: The company has developed a line of single-patient use and reusable sensors and cables. Masimo SET sensors are designed to reduce interference from physiological and non-physiological noise. The company’s proprietary technology platforms operate with its proprietary sensor lines. It sells its sensors and cables to end-users through its direct sales force and its distributors and OEM partners. The company’s reusable sensors are primarily used for short-term, spot-check monitoring. SofTouch Sensors: The company has developed SofTouch sensors, designed with less adhesive or no adhesive at all for compromised skin conditions. These include single-patient sensors for newborns and multi-site reusable sensors for pediatrics and adults. Trauma and Newborn Sensors: The company has developed two specialty sensor lines, specifically designed for trauma and resuscitation situations, as well as for newborns. These sensors contain an identifier which automatically sets the oximeter to monitor with maximum sensitivity and the shortest-averaging mode and allows for application, even in wet and slippery environments. Blue Sensors: The company offers a sensor to monitor arterial blood oxygen saturation levels in cyanotic infants and children with abnormally low oxygen saturation levels. E1 Ear Sensor: In 2011, the company introduced the first ever, single-patient-use ear sensor that is placed in the ear conchae, so clinicians can combine Masimo SET performance and central monitoring to provide access and responsive assessment of oxygenation. The E1 Sensor is ideal for field emergency medical services utilization. Rainbow Sensors: The company develops proprietary, multi-wavelength sensors for use with its rainbowPulse CO-Oximetry products. Its licensed rainbow SET sensors are the only sensors that are compatible with its licensed rainbow SET products. Rainbow sensors are available in single-patient use, ReSposable, and reusable spot-check sensor types. Rainbow Acoustic Sensors: The company’s Rainbow Acoustic Sensors detect the sounds associated with breathing, and convert the sounds into continuous respiration rate using proprietary signal processing that is based on Masimo’s signal extraction technology. SEDLine sensor: Used with the SEDLine monitor, the SEDLine sensor is a disposable sensor that collects a high volume of brain function data from key areas of frontal lobe, for clinical assessment. Remote Alarm and Monitoring Solutions Patient SafetyNet: Patient SafetyNet is a remote monitoring and clinician notification system. It instantly routes bedside-generated alarms through a server to a qualified clinician’s handheld paging device in real-time. Each system can support approximately 80 bedside monitors and can either be integrated into a hospital’s existing IT infrastructure or operate as a stand-alone wireless network. Software The company's monitors, including Radical-7 and certain future OEM products, which incorporate the MX board, would allow purchases of software for Rainbow parameters, as well as other future parameters or features that can be field installed. X-Cal In 2011, the company implemented a technology called X-Cal in its sensors, cables, and instruments to enhance patient safety and improve clinician efficiency. X-Cal preserves system quality, performance, and reliability by reducing imitati
