Masimo has earned 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its the Root patient monitoring and connectivity platform.
A handheld monitor docks into the Root system, and has a 10-inch touchscreen display. Also, the previously released Sedline brain function monitoring MOC-9 module for Root provides brain function monitoring to improve the care of patients under anesthesia or sedation.
Despite medical technology advances, the lack of device communication and integration creates risks to patient safety in hospitals around the world. Without device interoperability, critical patient information can go unnoticed, leaving busy clinicians in the dark and vulnerable patients in danger. Existing approaches for device interoperability require separate hardware, software, and/or network infrastructure, which can clutter the patient room, increase complexity, burden IT management, and increase costs.
Masimo designed the Root platform to address these challenges. The platform can be used as a connectivity gateway to connect multiple standalone devices such as IV pumps, ventilators, hospital beds, and other patient monitors, when used as part of the optional Iris connectivity package in Masimo Patient Safetynet. Iris allows standalone device information to be remotely viewed with Patient Safetynet, transmitted through notification systems or sent to electronic health record systems to facilitate better patient care. Iris connectivity enables standalone devices to leverage existing network infrastructure and reduce costs while enhancing clinical workflows and decision support to improve patient safety, whether the clinician is at the bedside, down the hall, or even in another country.
The Root platform also has a module for capnography called the ISA CO2 module. According to the company, the module makes it easy to measure carbon dioxide even at high respiratory rates.
The Root is also designed to allow other companies to expand the platform's measurements with their own measurements through MOC-9 (Masimo Open Connect) by following Masimo’s established development and validation process.
Based in Irvine, Calif., Masimo Corporation makes noninvasive patient monitoring technologies and sensors.
