Masimo has secured CE mark approval for noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurements of the Rad-97 Pulse CO-Oximeter and connectivity hub.

Rad-97 includes measure-through motion and Low Perfusion SET pulse oximetry in a compact standalone monitor configuration, helping to collect and remotely transmit data from connected devices

Rad-97 with NIBP allows clinicians to measure arterial blood pressure for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.

It offers three measurement modes, including spot-check, automatic interval that measures blood pressure routinely at required interval and stat interval that continually measures blood pressure for a desired duration.

With the support of an integrated port, the clinicians can connect blood pressure cuff inflation hose directly to Rad-97. In addition, the Rad-97 is compatible with both disposable and reusable cuffs to be used for different patient types.

Rad-97 with NIBP helps clinicians to automatically generate blood pressure data directly from the same monitoring device, which measures oxygen saturation, total hemoglobin and other noninvasive parameters.

When used in combination with Masimo Iris Gateway or Patient SafetyNet and hospital settings, the data from Rad-97 and other devices connected through the Iris hub can be sent directly to the patient’s electronic medical record (EMR).

In October 2016, Masimo secured CE mark approval for Rad-97 Pulse CO-Oximeter, which features high-resolution 1080p HD color display with multi-touch navigation.

Rad-97 is not yet commercialized in the US.

Masimo founder and CEO Joe Kiani said: "Rad-97 brings our core SET and rainbow  technologies to a compact design, which allows broader applications in many new settings, including the home, with its hub and telepresence capabilities.
