Andover, Mass. Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) has announced the availability of a new Multi-Measurement Server (MMS) with Masimo® SET SpO2 technology that works with the entire portfolio of Philips MMS compatible IntelliVue patient monitors. This new product represents additional clinical choice, and enables customers to standardize on Masimo technology.

Seamless data is a major asset of the new Philips MMS with Masimo SET SpO2
. The MMS is lightweight and compact and stores up to eight hours of data.
Ideal for patient transfer, it detaches and travels with the patient, then can be reinserted into any other Philips IntelliVue MMS compatible monitor. Upon reconnection, it uploads stored transfer Masimo SET SpO2 data and other patient data.


Philips also offers a Masimo SET single-width module. The Multi-Measurement Server (MMS) with Masimo SET SpO2 is a new, extended offering. The MMS and the Masimo SET single-width module work with Masimo LNOP and LNCS sensors.

The new Philips MMS with Masimo SET SpO2 technology is applicable in many care settings. It is particularly relevant in neonatal intensive care where care teams can now measure dual channel SpO2 using Masimo SET pulse oximetry (MMS and Module).

“Pulse oximetry is becoming more important in a wide variety of care settings,” said Deborah DiSanzo, senior vice president and general manager, Patient Monitoring, for Philips Medical Systems. “We want to ensure that our customers can choose the optimal SpO2 technology for their clinical needs.”

“We are pleased to offer Masimo SET in a Philips MMS,” said Mohamed Elmandjra, president, Worldwide OEM Business, for Masimo. “We believe clinicians and patients will benefit from the performance and reliability of Masimo SET pulse oximetry with Philips integration of Masimo SET across the entire IntelliVue product line. The performance and reliability of Masimo SET pulse oximetry helps clinicians accurately monitor this important parameter.”
