Masimo announced today FDA 510(k) clearance for its noninvasive blood pressure and temperature measurements for the Root patient monitoring and connectivity platform.

Using SunTech Medical’s blood pressure test and Welch Allyn’s temperature module, the Root platform is able to assess measurements quickly in both adult and pediatric patients. No only that, data can be sent straight to a patients electronic medical record.

One of the main efforts with Root is to increase productivity and timeliness and interoperability, which allows clinicians to spend more time with patients.

As Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo said in a statement, “We designed Root to do for patient monitoring what PCs did for computing.”
