Why It Matters for Your Baby
Babies—especially newborns and preemies—move a lot and often have low perfusion (blood flow), which can make it hard for traditional monitors to give accurate readings. Masimo SET® is different.
- Benefits include:
- Accurate during motion – No false alarms when your baby wiggles or stretches.
- Reliable in low perfusion – Trusted readings even when blood flow is low.
- Used in top hospitals – Chosen by leading NICUs and pediatric units worldwide.
How It Works
Masimo SET® uses Signal Extraction Technology® to separate the real oxygen signal from noise caused by movement or low blood flow. This means:
- Fewer unnecessary alarms.
- More restful sleep for your baby—and for you.
- Better decisions by your care team.
FAQ for Parents
1. What is Masimo SET® and how is it different from other pulse oximeters?
Masimo SET® (Signal Extraction Technology) is an advanced form of pulse oximetry that provides accurate oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and pulse rate readings—even when your baby is moving or has low blood flow. This is especially important for newborns and infants who are often restless or have tiny, delicate blood vessels.
2. Why is accurate monitoring important for babies?
Babies, especially those in NICUs or with respiratory conditions, need constant and reliable monitoring. Inaccurate readings can lead to unnecessary alarms or missed signs of distress. Masimo SET® helps reduce false alarms and ensures clinicians and caregivers can trust the data.
3. Is Masimo SET® safe for my baby’s skin?
Yes. Masimo sensors are designed with soft, gentle materials suitable for neonatal and pediatric use. They are non-invasive and comfortable for continuous monitoring.
4. Can I use Masimo SET® at home?
Yes. Some Masimo devices, like the Masimo SafetyNet®, are designed for home use and allow remote monitoring through a mobile app. This can be especially helpful for babies with chronic conditions or those transitioning from hospital to home care.
5. What happens if my baby moves a lot during monitoring?
Unlike traditional pulse oximeters, Masimo SET® is specifically designed to filter out motion artifacts. This means it can still provide accurate readings even when your baby is wiggling, feeding, or being held.
6. How do I know if my hospital or provider uses Masimo SET®?
You can ask your care team directly. Many leading hospitals and NICUs use Masimo SET® because of its proven accuracy and reliability in challenging conditions.
7. Can I see the readings on my phone?
If your provider uses Masimo SafetyNet®, you may be able to view your baby’s oxygen levels and pulse rate through a secure mobile app. This allows for peace of mind and better communication with your care team.
