GE in Oximetry Alliance with Masimo

GE Medical Systems Information Technologies (Milwaukee, WI, USA) has formed an alliance with Masimo Corp. (Irvine, CA, USA) that will allow GE to incorporate Masimo's SET (signal extraction technology) pulse oximetry into its patient monitoring systems.

GE is introducing the industry's first high-acuity patient monitoring system that utilizes Masimo's SET oximetry, the GE Solar SpO2 module. GE will also offer SET as an option to its existing and future Solar monitoring systems. In addition, GE plans to incorporate SET into its full line of patient monitoring systems, including TRAM, DASH, and DINAMAP Pro. Before the advent of SET pulse oximetry, many oximeter alarms were false alarms, says GE. According to more than 40 published studies, SET eliminates false alarms while improving the detection of true alarms.

"By incorporating a complete collection of best-in-class parameters in our patient monitoring systems, including Masimo SET pulse oximetry, GE provides clinicians with a one-stop shop for reliable, real-time vital signs information,” said Kevin King, vice president of clinical systems for GE.
