Philips FAST SpO2 Technology for Oxygen Saturation
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial evaluates a new method to measure blood oxygen levels in babies and children using special sensors from Masimo, linked to Philips monitors. The researchers aim to compare the effectiveness of this new setup with a standard FDA-approved device. Children under 22 years old without skin conditions that might interfere with sensor fit are eligible for this study. As an unphased trial, it provides an opportunity to contribute to innovative research that could enhance monitoring technology for young patients.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What prior data suggests that this technology is safe for neonatal, infant, and pediatric populations?
Research has shown that Masimo sensors, when paired with the Philips FAST SpO2 Algorithm, usually provide accurate and reliable blood oxygen readings. RD SET sensors, in particular, are known for their superior accuracy and comfortable design. However, some reports have noted failures in Masimo cables, leading to incorrect, low blood oxygen readings and resulting in unnecessary treatments and signal interruptions. This indicates that while the sensors are generally dependable, occasional issues can arise.
It is important to note that this study does not test a new drug or treatment but rather a monitoring technology. The aim is to ensure it functions well and accurately with devices already approved by the FDA. Overall, Masimo sensors are widely used in medical settings, indicating a level of safety and trust in their use.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Philips FAST SpO2 technology because it offers a new way to measure blood oxygen levels using Masimo Sensors connected to Philips Monitors. Unlike standard pulse oximeters, which are typically used in hospitals and clinics, this setup employs a specialized algorithm for potentially quicker and more accurate readings. The innovation lies in the Philips FAST SpO2 Algorithm, which could enhance the reliability and speed of oxygen saturation measurements, making it particularly beneficial for patient monitoring in critical situations.
What evidence suggests that the Philips FAST SpO2 Technology is effective for oxygen saturation monitoring?
Studies have shown that Masimo SET® pulse oximetry accurately measures blood oxygen levels for people of all skin tones, meeting FDA standards. Compared to other technologies, Masimo SET® missed 93% fewer real alarms. In this trial, all participants will use Masimo Sensors connected to Philips Monitors with the Philips FAST SpO2 algorithm. This combination has proven to measure oxygen levels accurately and is now considered a new standard of care, providing precise and reliable results.678910
