Masimo Rainbow SpHb® Sensors

Conventional pulse oximetry uses the “red over infrared” algorithm to measure SpO2, whereas Masimo Rainbow SET technology uses multiple (7+) wavelengths, advanced signal processing, and additional parallel engines to measure total hemoglobin (SpHb) as well as the Pleth Variability Index (PVi) for the continuous noninvasive monitoring of the patient’s fluid responsiveness.

Benefits

Continuous, non-invasive monitoring of total hemoglobin (SpHb®) provides real-time visibility to changes, or lack of changes, in hemoglobin between invasive blood samples.

SpHb trend monitoring may provide additional insight between invasive blood samples when:

  • The SpHb trend is stable and the clinician may otherwise think hemoglobin is dropping.
  • The SpHb trend is rising and the clinician may otherwise think hemoglobin is not rising fast enough.
  • The SpHb trend is dropping and the clinician may otherwise think hemoglobin is stable.

Studies have shown that SpHb may help clinicians reduce blood transfusions in both low- and high-blood-loss surgeries
