Masimo launches RAS-45 respiration sensor for Rainbow system

Masimo (NSDQ:MASI) said today it initiated a full market release of its RAS-45 adhesive adult and pediatric acoustic respiration sensor for its Rainbow acoustic monitoring system.

The Irvine, Calif.-based company’s Rainbow acoustic monitoring system is designed to non-invasively and continuously measure respiration rate with the adhesive sensor, which features an integrated acoustic transducer.

Masimo said that the RAS-45 features a smaller size, making it more useful for pediatric patients or patients with shorter necks, the company said. The device features transparent adhesive and greater flexibility than its RAS-125c adhesive.

“RAM harnesses the power of our breakthrough signal processing technology and applies it to a respiratory measurement derived from the sound of breathing. With the addition of the RAS-45 sensor, RRa is now a more convenient and comfortable measurement for clinicians and patients—especially children,” founder & CEO Joe Kiani said in a press release.

Earlier this month, Masimo said it won FDA 510(k) clearance for its Rad-97 pulse co-oximeter and launched the device in the US.
