Masimo Medical Watch gets FDA clearance for connectivity for SafetyNet

Masimo announced that the Masimo W1 medical watch has received FDA 510k clearance for connectivity, allowing it to be integrated with the Masimo SafetyNet comprehensive telemonitoring solution. Masimo W1 Medical received FDA clearance last year as the first medical watch to provide continuous oxygen saturation SpO2 and pulse rate PR for over-the-counter and prescription use at home and in hospitals. The combination of Masimo W1 Medical and Masimo SafetyNet allows accurate and reliable patient data, collected conveniently and comfortably via the wrist, to be made available on the Masimo SafetyNet smartphone app and reviewed by remote caregivers, including by hospital clinicians on the web-based Masimo SafetyNet clinician portal – anywhere and at any time…In addition to making patient data available to hospital clinicians via the clinician portal, patients can configure Masimo SafetyNet so that their data can be shared with other types of caregivers, such as a family member taking care of their elderly parents or a loved one. Remote caregivers can also receive customized updates – helping better assess when to check in with their loved one.
