Medical technology firm Masimo has received CE mark approval for its bedside monitor device, Rad-97 Pulse CO-Oximeter.

Rad-97 also includes the same measure-through motion and low perfusion SET pulse oximetry and upgradeable rainbow SET technology as the Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter.

The new device features high-resolution 1080p HD color display with multi-touch navigation, helping clinicians to easily customize the device to suit their monitoring needs.

Through using customizable profiles, the users can also configure the device to accommodate different patient populations.

Rad-97 offers built-in wireless connectivity through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as well as built-in wired options such as Ethernet, USB, and Nurse Call Interface connections.

The new device will be available with an optional camera in select markets outside the US. It can be used in conjunction with Masimo Patient SafetyNet.

Other devices such as glucometers and scales can be connected to Patient SafetyNet by using Rad-97, enabling interaction between clinicians and patients or other clinicians.

According to the company, clinicians can add other monitoring solutions such as the rainbow SET measurements total hemoglobin (SpHb), methemoglobin (SpMet), acoustic respiration rate (RRa), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), and oxygen content (SpOC).

Masimo founder and CEO Joe Kiani said: "Rad-97 brings our core SET and rainbow technologies to a compact new design, which will allow broader applications in many new settings, including low-resource countries and homes.

"We've engineered Rad-97 to take advantage of the latest advances in adaptability and connectivity, packaging Masimo's industry-leading noninvasive technology in a cost-effective monitor that will make it more accessible and useful to clinicians and patients than ever."
