Masimo receives FDA clearance for fingertip pulse oximeter measurement

Masimo recently announced that it has received FDA clearance for its respiration rate measurement from the pleth RRp on its MightySat Rx spot-check fingertip pulse oximeter. It was also indicated for use in the home. Using the company’s RRp in MightSat Rx, respiration rate can be measured using the same optical sensor that measures SpO2, PR, Pi and PVi. The RRp is only given when the respiratory movement-induced signal is available in the pulsatile waveform and may not be available during conditions like irregular breathing or excessive movements.
