Rad-97 with NomoLine capnography features an integrated ISA™ CO2 module with NomoLine sampling lines for sidestream capnography, with an adapter for intubated patients – meeting continuous monitoring and capnography needs in a single device. Rad-97 with capnography displays continuous end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) values with numeric, trend, and waveform viewing options, as well as fractional concentration of inspired carbon dioxide (FiCO2) and respiration rate. With both integrated capnography and Masimo acoustic respiration rate (RRa®) available on a single device, clinicians have the flexibility of choosing the most appropriate respiration monitoring method for each patient.

Rad-97 combines its portable, compact form factor with a high-resolution, multi-touch color display that allows clinicians to easily customize the device for each monitoring use case – bringing rainbow SET™ measurements and capnography measurements to care areas where a small footprint or high portability is desired. Rad-97 features built-in enterprise WiFi capability, allowing it to connect wirelessly to supplemental patient monitoring systems including Masimo Patient SafetyNet™*, facilitating automatic data transfer to hospital electronic medical record (EMR) systems. The easy-to-use, intuitive interface helps to simplify charting workflows for vital sign monitoring and patient data capture.

“We’re delighted to bring the full family of Rad-97 products to markets outside the United States,” said Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. “We believe Rad-97, with its versatility and customizability, will play an especially important role in helping hospitals improve their monitoring capabilities with convenient, easy-to-use device and technology solutions – ultimately helping to improve patient care and safety.”

Rad-97, Rad-97 with noninvasive blood pressure, and Rad-97 with NomoLine capnography have received FDA 510(k) clearance and are also available in the United States.

About Masimo

Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is a global leader in innovative noninvasive monitoring technologies. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care. In 1995, the company debuted Masimo SET® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry, which has been shown in multiple studies to significantly reduce false alarms and accurately monitor for true alarms. Masimo SET® has also been shown to help clinicians reduce severe retinopathy of prematurity in neonates,1 improve CCHD screening in newborns,2 and, when used for continuous monitoring with Masimo Patient SafetyNet™* in post-surgical wards, reduce rapid response activations and costs.3,4,5 Masimo SET® is estimated to be used on more than 100 million patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the world,6 and is the primary pulse oximetry at 17 of the top 20 hospitals listed in the 2017-18 U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll.7 In 2005, Masimo introduced rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry technology, allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously could only be measured invasively, including total hemoglobin (SpHb®), oxygen content (SpOC™), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO®), methemoglobin (SpMet®), Pleth Variability Index (PVi®), and more recently, Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi™), in addition to SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (Pi). In 2014, Masimo introduced Root®, an intuitive patient monitoring and connectivity platform with the Masimo Open Connect® (MOC-9®) interface, enabling other companies to augment Root with new features and measurement capabilities. Masimo is also taking an active leadership role in mHealth with products such as the Radius-7® wearable patient monitor, iSpO2® pulse oximeter for smartphones, and the MightySat™ fingertip pulse oximeter.
