What is Masimo SET^® Technology?

Masimo SET technology is a fundamentally distinct method of acquiring, processing and reporting arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Combining proprietary signal processing algorithms with innovative sensor technologies, Masimo SET technology enables adaptive filters to work in real time to accurately report human physiology. Masimo SET pulse oximetry systems are designed to substantially eliminate the problems of motion artifact, low peripheral perfusion and most weak signal-to-noise situations, greatly extending the utility of pulse oximetry into high motion, low signal and noise intensive environments.  Click here for more details.

Masimo SET SpO2 Parallel Engines

Masimo SET uses Adaptive Filter, DST, FST and SST, in parallel processing mode (all patented by Masimo). Masimo SET's four unique algorithms, along with conventional red over infrared algorithm allows for unprecedented fidelity, sensitivity and specificity. Patient data is presented to the set of algorithms. Each algorithm's unique strengths are leveraged to ensure accurate readings through all patient conditions.

Masimo SET's most powerful algorithm is DST. All algorithms depend upon assumptions. The more assumptions, the weaker the algorithm. DST makes only one assumption - that arterial blood has a higher oxygenation than venous - making it the most powerful pulse oximetry algorithm.
