enhanced process of care

why choose masimo?	what's the difference?	enhanced process of care
improve patient care	improve patient safety

"The number of ABG's obtained and the time to wean to a low FiO2 was nearly half.
This change in practice reduces the costs of oxygen supply and delivery and the associated
risk of morbidity from excessive oxygen exposure."

Prof.of Anesthesiology, University of Virginia

We estimate a typical 250 bed hospital can save more than $300,000 annually using Masimo SET technology. To learn how your institution can lower its costs while improving patient care by converting to Masimo SET pulse oximetry, call 1-877-4-Masimo.
