Kiani and Masimo also won a 2004 lawsuit against Tyco for violating antitrust laws specifically related to the sale of its Nellcor pulse oximetry products and was ultimately awarded $ 43.5 million.

In persons requiring hospitalization, pulse oximetry, chest radiography and blood tests including a complete blood count, serum electrolytes, C-reactive protein level, and possibly liver function tests are recommended.
43.
Pulse oximetry was developed in 1972, by Takuo Aoyagi and Michio Kishi, bioengineers, at Nihon Kohden using the ratio of red to infrared light absorption of pulsating components at the measuring site.
44.
The measure-through motion and low perfusion capabilities it has also allow it to be used in previously unmonitored areas such as the general floor, where false alarms have plagued conventional pulse oximetry.
45.
Masimo makes a pulse oximetry technology known as Signal Extraction Technology ( SET ), which is known as being the first pulse oximemtry technology to reliably measure-through motion and low perfusion conditions.
46.
Similar to pulse oximetry, the suggestion to surgeons about such an idea was met with disdain, who again indicated that a gimmick could never be a substitute for expertise in surgical anatomy.
47.
This polysomnogram consisted of overnight recording of left and right EOG, submental EMG, left and right anterior EMG, central and occipital EEG, EKG, airflow measurement, respiratory effort and pulse oximetry.
48.
The firm won a $ 58 million judgment in " Masimo v . Tyco Healthcare Group ", an antitrust case involving exclusionary contracting practices in the U . S . market for pulse oximetry products.
49.
He came to regret his lack of follow up years later when in the early 1980 s, pulse oximetry was developed and became a standard of care to reduce the morbidity and mortality of hypoxia during anesthesia.
50.
Prior to the introduction of pulse oximetry, a patient's oxygenation could only be determined by arterial blood gas, a single-point measurement that takes several minutes for sample collection and processing by a laboratory.
