Masimo Pronto-7â„¢ Receives Japanese and Canadian Regulatory Clearances

August 29, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Masimo
(NASDAQ:
MASI
) today announced the Japanese Ministry of Health Labor
& Welfare (MHLW) and Health Canada regulatory clearances of
Masimo Pronto-7™— enabling clinicians throughout Japan
and Canada to quickly and conveniently measure total hemoglobin
(SpHb®), SpO2, perfusion index, and pulse rate without removing

for the patient, time-consuming blood draws for the clinician, and
typically provides delayed results. Masimo SpHb provides immediate
real-time hemoglobin results that enable clinicians to more rapidly
assess patients and detect and treat internal bleeding and low
hemoglobin conditions earlier.  And, although Masimo
noninvasive and continuous total hemoglobin (SpHb)
monitoring—commercially available in both Japan and Canada
for over a year—is the preferred technology for hospitals and
inpatient care centers, access to quick and easy spot-check
hemoglobin measurements are valuable for a variety of healthcare
assessment applications, including physician offices, outpatient
care centers, and pre-hospital emergency settings.  

Pronto-7 Makes Noninvasive Hemoglobin Testing a Reality in
Japan and Canada

Japanese and Canadian regulatory clearances for the palm-sized,
handheld Pronto-7 and noninvasive finger sensors make it possible
for clinicians to take the pain and wait out of traditional
hemoglobin blood testing.  The Pronto-7 offers a breakthrough
solution for measuring tot
