Granted "breakthrough" device status

 

Opioid Halo

Opioid Overdose Prevention & Alert System

 
Opioid Halo Sensor
  • Provides real-time monitoring to identify the risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression
  • Sends escalating alerts to the patient and their designated emergency contacts, followed by an automated wellness call that may lead to EMS being dispatched
  • Powered by Masimo SET® pulse oximetry, which is trusted by 9 of the top 10 U.S. hospitals1

Some patients may be at higher risk for accidental overdose

Some patients may be at higher risk for accidental overdose

 

Certain factors can increase risk:2-5

  • Being opioid naïve
  • Respiratory condition(s) such as sleep apnea
  • Combining opioids with other sedating medications such as benzodiazepines and/or alcohol
  • Older age (65+)
  • Taking medical high prescribed doses (>50 MME)
  • Medical conditions such as HIV, liver or lung diseases, or mental health conditions
  • Opioid use disorder or a history of addiction
  • Taking opioids for nonmedical purposes
  • Taking opioids again after stopping for an extended period of time

>80,000

opioid-related deaths in 2021.6
Over 200 people are dying every day.

>20%

of opioid deaths in 2020 involved a prescription opioid.7

>50%

of opioid-related deaths occur when the person is alone.8
But even if they are not, it may be hard for a patient or their loved one to recognize the signs before it’s too late.9

Are your patients using naloxone?

Are your patients using naloxone?

 

Complement naloxone (e.g. Narcan®) with monitoring

Naloxone is an effective tool for overdose reversal. However, it cannot be self-administered during a low-oxygen level event.10 Continuous monitoring can be a powerful complement to naloxone by raising awareness when help is needed.

Alert 1: Caution

When physiological marker data shows high risk for overdose, alerts appear visually on the patient's mobile device and sound audibly at the Home Medical Hub, to facilitate self recovery.

Alert 2: Warning

As the risk level rises, the system alerts them again and sends automatic texts to designated emergency contacts.†

Masimo SET® Pulse Oximetry

  • Trusted by physicians for over 25 years and used to monitor over 200 million patients a year around the world11
  • Features multiple parallel signal processing engines for accurate and reliable readings
  • Demonstrated significantly fewer false alarms and more true alarms than conventional pulse oximetry technologies in hospital settings12
  • Accurate across all skin pigmentations13

Based on a Proven Hospital Approach

A 10-year study at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center found zero opioid-related preventable deaths or brain damage in hospitalized patients who were continuously monitored with Masimo SET® and a notification system.14

Opioid Halo leverages the same clinically proven pulse oximetry technology and a similar notification system to help protect your patients at home.
