Masimo SET® Module

When first introduced as a clinical parameter, pulse oximetry was considered unreliable – resulting in false alarm as high as 90% in ICUs and recovery rooms.³ Masimo Signal Extraction Technology® (SET) solved this problem by using parallel signal processing engines to separate the true arterial signal from sources of noise (including the venous signal). It accurately measures SpO₂ and pulse rate even during the most challenging clinical conditions – including during patient motion and low perfusion. Masimo SET® technology consistently delivers significantly fewer false alarms and true alarm detection.⁴

Over 100 independent studies have shown that Masimo SET® outperforms other pulse oximetry technologies.¹ For example, in one post-surgical unit, clinicians achieved their goal of zero preventable deaths or brain damage due to opioids over 5 years.⁵ In a PACU, Masimo SET® had a greater than 50% reduction in false alarms compared to other SpO₂ technologies.⁶ And in a study of 122,738 infants, Masimo SET® helped improve critical congenital heart disease screening sensitivity to 93%.⁷ Whether used to monitor neonate, pediatric, and adult patients, Masimo SET helps you to make informed care decisions.

Thousands of hospitals around the world count on clinically proven Masimo SET technology to help simplify workflow and manage the cost of patient care. The integration of Masimo SpO₂ with IntelliVue patient monitoring can lead to reductions in sensor usage, arterial blood gas testing, oxygen requirements, and false alarms.⁸ Typical savings include the potential for fewer arterial blood draws in critically ill patient⁹, lower oxygen requirements in the ICU¹⁰, and a considerable decrease in false alarms with higher specificity.¹¹ All adding up to measurable annual cost savings.

The Masimo SET® system uses noninvasive Masimo LNOP finger sensors to capture functional oxygen saturation of SpO₂, pulse rate, and perfusion index. It transmits patient data directly to a single-slot Masimo SET® Module housed in a Philips IntelliVue MX500 and MX550 internal module rack – or the Philips IntelliVue MX700, MX800, MX750, and MX850 external module rack. So you can see and control your clinical data on a single screen using the familiar IntelliVue interface.
