rainbow Technology Overview

Total Hemoglobin (SpHb®) is a breakthrough measurement that allows clinicians to noninvasively and continuously monitor hemoglobin—facilitating earlier and better clinical decisions, improved patient safety, and reduced cost of care.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

 

SURGERY
> Blood transfusions increase morbidity, mortality, and cost of treatment.1, 2, 3, 4
> Continuous and noninvasive SpHb is proven to help clinicians reduce blood transfusions during surgery.5
 

CRITICAL CARE AND OBSTETRICS
> Late detection of bleeding increases risks and cost of treatment.6
> Continuous and noninvasive SpHb allows you to track changes in hemoglobin that may help you detect bleeding earlier.7
 

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
> Traditional invasive lab testing provides delayed results and requires a painful needle stick and time consuming blood draws.
> Noninvasive spot check hemoglobin may facilitate timely patient assessment and reduce the need to wait for lab results.

"Masimo SpHb is an impressive new tool that could potentially help us to more safely guide patients in surgery through to recovery. With it, not only can we spot hemoglobin changes as they occur, but we can see where they are heading. This ability to identify an upward or downward hemoglobin trend on a second-by-second basis as it occurs could be of tremendous value."
