It looks like Masimo is entering into the mainstream systems patient business with this introduction. They are providing by this introduction wearable/portable monitors that are able to be docked into a secondary display unit. This definitely it seems cuts down costs as not all the processing power for the parameters and inputs has to sit idle at each bedside. They also it seems that they have the ability to integrate infusion pumps, ventilators, etc., directly at the point of care. Their innovative algorithms have changed the game of pulse oximetry over the past many years. I also like the integration of WLAN (Wireless LAN) and LPBT (Low Power Bluetooth) into Root, which offers flexibility not see before in a patient monitoring system. The prevailing question will be the integration of this data to the EMR??
