Masimo won European regulatory clearance for its new RAS-45 single use acoustic respiration sensor that’s used with the company’s rainbow Acoustic Monitoring tech**logy. The *****-like device is attached to the skin on the neck and plugged into a compatible Masimo patient monitor. From there, signal processing software is used to identify each breath and a live measurement, as well as the running waveform, is continuously displayed on the screen.

The new sensor is smaller than the previously available RAS-125c, making it a bit more convenient and comfortable for the patients, but Masimo claims it has the same performance characteristics of its larger sibling. The smaller sensor should be more appropriate for pediatric patients, as the tech**logy is approved for use on those weighing as little as 10 kilos.
