Pulse Oximetry Product Showcase
Measure Carbon Moxoxide
Masimo, the inventor of read-through-motion and low perfusion pulse oximetry, recently debuted the Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter, the first monitor capable of noninvasively measuring carbon monoxide levels in the blood. The Rad-57 is a handheld monitor that uses advanced signal processing to analyze data from a sophisticated, yet simple-to-apply, finger sensor to accurately measure carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), the percentage of blood hemoglobin bound with carbon monoxide. The SpCO percentage provides the caregiver continuous measurement of carbon monoxide (CO) in the blood. In addition, the Rad-57 measures SpO2, pulse rate and perfusion index with Masimo SET technology. Call 800/326-4890, or visit www.masimo.com.
