Patient SafetyNet Connects Patients and Caregivers Quickly, Easily and Accurately

Masimo Patient SafetyNet remote monitoring and clinician notification system combines the gold-standard performance of Masimo SET® pulse oximetry with respiration rate monitoring and wireless clinician notification via pager or 3rd party gateway to IP phones. Patient SafetyNet provides an unmatched level of patient safety on the general ward in a system that can either be integrated into your existing IT infrastructure or operate as a standalone system.

PSN System Flow
> Easily admit patients, monitor all patients at a glance, and investigate patient alarms and trends.
> Masimo bedside devices continuously and noninvasively monitor SpO2, pulse rate, respiration rate, as well as other clinically valuable measurements.
> Patient SafetyNet sends alarms to qualified clinicians for review and immediate bedside intervention, with automatic escalation to additional clinicians.
> No matter what level of clinical response is needed, Patient SafetyNet facilitates appropriate clinical response, preemption of sentinel events, and avoidance of unnecessary ICU transfers.1

Proven To Help Clinicians Improve Outcomes Without Adding Staff1


An eleven month evaluation by a team of clinicians at a large academic medical center covering 2,841 patients showed that Patient SafetyNet provides early identification of analgesia-induced respiratory depression and cardiac abnormalities identified by high and low pulse rate, poor heart rate control, and bradycardia. The study showed the following results on a single 36-bed general care post-surgical floor:1

Statistics showing the benefits of Masimo Patient SafetyNet

"In my opinion as Quality and Safety Officer, our study results strongly demonstrate that continuous patient surveillance with Masimo SET and Masimo Patient SafetyNet increases healthcare value by significantly improving clinical outcomes while reducing costs."
