Masimo (NSDQ:MASI) said today that the Dubai Health Authority is implementing Masimo’s Patient SafetyNet remote monitoring and clinician notification system at 2 Dubai hospitals.
Irvine, Calif.-based Masimo will install its SafetyNet system at the 625-bed Dubai Hospital, which provides general medical and surgical care, and the 367-bed Latifa Hospital, which specializes in maternal and child care.
“We are excited to deepen our partnership with Masimo. The Dubai Health Authority’s mission is to develop an integrated and sustainable healthcare system that ensures our comprehensive services achieve the highest international standards, and we believe that Masimo’s monitoring devices, now even more connected to hospital infrastructure through the power of Patient SafetyNet, will help us meet that goal,” Dubai Health Authority director general Humaid Al Qatami said in a prepared statement.
Masimo’s Patient SafetyNet allows data from bedside monitors, including its Masimo Root, Radical 7 and wearable Radius-7 pulse co-oximeters, to be viewable from a central station.
The Patient SafetyNet system also automatically sends wireless alerts directly to clinicians, and can automate the transfer of patient data.
“Patient SafetyNet, in conjunction with Masimo SET pulse oximetry, enables continuous supplemental monitoring of active patients in post-surgical wards and can help save the lives of patients on opioids, among many other benefits. We applaud the Dubai Health Authority, dedicated to providing no less than the best health care in the world, for recognizing the importance of implementing such a proven and powerful centralized monitoring and patient surveillance system,” Masimo founder & CEO Joe Kiani said in a press release.
Earlier this month, Masimo saw shares fall despite the diagnostic-focused medical device maker beating expectations on Wall Street with its 2nd quarter earnings results.
