anyone using Masimo pulse ox's?

Caliotter, do you know what kind of issues the family had? I had the opportunity to see an "independent" video study today of a patient being inducted for anesthesia with both a nellcor and a masimo pulse ox on. Sat's dropped on the nellcor, but remained normal on the Masimo. Now, I can't tell you if this is fact was a true study because I was not there and this was only 1 patient. A true study obviously needs a much larger sample size. Right now we're using Masimo, but switching back to nellcor because our icu's having been having alarm problems with Masimo. I can't tell you specifics simply because I'm new to my position and staff have not been able to give me specifics as to what's going on, they just know they're having problems. I'm happy to support what staff needs/wants to work effectively, but I also have to have patient safety as the top priority.
We need a product evaluation forum on this website :O)
