Any experience with Masimo Rad-97 Pulse-Oximeter with Capnography, Sp02, and SpCO?
I work both part-time as an EMT-B at the local medic base on an ambulance, and volunteer as a FF/EMT-B for my Fire Department where it's typically just me and my little custom jump bag by myself. It usually takes an ambulance ~1 hour to reach our scenes and I often wish we could read capnography while waiting for the ambulance to QA our ventilations.
Does anyone have any experience with the Masimo Rad-97 family of devices? Are they decent? Anyone have other suggestions for reading cap?
Obviously I'd prefer a full monitor to run cap, and 12 leads, but my Fire Department operates on something around 90K annually in tax revenue so we can't afford a new 20K monitor. Open to suggestions!
