“Inaccurate, invalid and incorrect pulse oximetry consumes caregivers’ time when they are forced to care for the monitor and not the patient. Masimo SET pulse oximetry provides significantly less oximeter non-functional time than CPO and reduces the number of untrustworthy alarms and indicators.”

Charles G. Durbin
Prof. of Anesthesiology, University of Virginia

Clinical/Case Studies

Pulse oximetry was developed to monitor patients at risk of heart/lung failure, yet conventional pulse oximetry (CPO) fails on the sickest patients¹ because the patients have poor perfusion and/or are experiencing motion. These patients represent the highest liability/risk and require reliable monitoring of their oxygenation and pulse rate.

Masimo SET pulse oximetry provides accurate monitoring for all levels of patient care, including life threatening cases where motion and/or low perfusion is likely. Clinicians can rely on accurate measurements and true alarms from a trustworthy source: Masimo SET pulse oximetry.

Improved Patient Safety

Studies show excessive false alarms lead to clinical non-response. Clinician practice patterns change when using accurate and trustworthy Masimo SET pulse oximetry.²
Masimo SET pulse oximetry improves care and reduces medical errors by accurately tracking the patient’s physiology when it is needed most - during motion and low perfusion.
