Masimo Receives FDA Clearance for Stork Over-the-Counter (OTC) Baby Monitoring System - Seite 2

Stork bundles are currently available at major and specialty retailers nationwide and at masimo.com as a non-medical device for general health and wellness purposes. Alongside the FDA clearance, Masimo will make Stork’s new alarm features available to all existing and new Stork users through the Masimo Stork App, in an update scheduled to be released this summer. FDA-cleared OTC Stork bundles will be available for purchase online and at retailers this summer.

Masimo’s patented SET sensor technology nests within the Stork boot, which is made from an ultra-soft, medical-grade silicone that conforms gently to the baby’s skin and is available in three sizes to ensure a perfect fit as the child grows. The sensor embedded in the boot is the product of meticulous engineering that harnesses decades of expertise in noninvasive monitoring to detect babies’ SpO₂, PR, and skin temperature continuously, with unprecedented accuracy and dependability.

Masimo Stork has a sleek, minimalist design that fits seamlessly into any nursery and on the baby’s foot. The Stork Vitals+ bundle includes the boot with sensor that monitors baby’s skin temperature, PR, and SpO₂, and a 2K Quad High-Definition (QHD) capable camera with technology supported by the TODA platform from Like Minded Labs. The camera hardware and software architecture are designed to leverage and be compatible with future edge AI-based features, which are in development. The first application of the edge AI technology will be identifying babies who have turned face down. For those who do not require streaming video, or detection via video of babies being face down, the Stork Vitals bundle replaces the camera with a hub, which connects the Stork vital signs sensor/boot to the Stork app, while still allowing parents to hear their baby. Stork also monitors the baby’s room conditions (ambient temperature and humidity).

Masimo Stork is 510(k) cleared for OTC use as a wearable device intended for the monitoring of multiple physiological parameters. Masimo Stork is indicated for spot-checking and continuous monitoring of SpO₂ and PR during no motion, motion, and low perfusion conditions in infants and neonates who are 0 to 18 months of age and between 6 and 30 lbs. Masimo Stork OTC is also indicated for continuous skin temperature measurements of infants and neonates who are 0 to 18 months of age and between 6 and 30 lbs.
