Masimo SafetyNet Alert™
Oxygen Monitoring and Alert System
Help Safeguard Patients Taking Opioids at Home
Opioids are powerful painkillers, but they can also slow or stop breathing. In fact, patients taking either prescription or non-prescription opioids may be at risk for opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD).1 Masimo SafetyNet Alert monitors blood oxygen levels and provides escalating alerts when drops in oxygen levels are detected.
- Delivers continuous monitoring of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), in addition to pulse rate (PR) and perfusion index (Pi) measurements
- Provides alerts if oxygen levels fall below predetermined thresholds, raising awareness to help the patient or their loved ones take action
- Features a lightweight, wearable fingertip sensor that communicates wirelessly to a Home Medical Hub and intuitive mobile app
Respiratory Depression Can Be a Serious Risk for Anyone Taking Opioids
Respiratory Depression Can Be a Serious Risk for Anyone Taking Opioids
Certain medications and substances can increase a person's risk of OIRD. In fact, OIRD can be a risk for anyone taking opioids and can lead to slowed or stopped breathing, heart attack, brain damage, or death. OIRD may also occur when a person is especially vulnerable—while asleep. Certain patient groups may be at higher risk for OIRD, including those who:1-3
- Take opioids for the first time
- Have a respiratory condition (sleep apnea, COPD, asthma) or a chronic health condition (HIV, diabetes, liver/lung/heart disease, obesity, mental illness)
- Combine opioids with alcohol, illicit drugs, or other sedatives typically used to treat insomnia or anxiety (benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids, sleep medications)
- Take high opioid doses (above 100mg)
- Have a history of substance use disorder or a reduced tolerance of opioids following a detox
Continuous Monitoring Has Been Shown to Improve Outcomes in Hospitals
Continuous Monitoring Has Been Shown to Improve Outcomes in Hospitals
A 10-year study at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center found zero opioid—related preventable deaths or brain damage in hospitalized patients who were continuously monitored with Masimo SET® pulse oximetry and a notification system.4
Masimo SafetyNet Alert leverages the same clinically proven pulse oximetry technology and a similar notification system to help protect your patients at home.
Escalating Alerts Raise Awareness When Help Is Needed
Escalating Alerts Raise Awareness When Help Is Needed
Patients are professionally monitored and observed while in the hospital, but what happens when they are at home?
To help support their safety, Masimo SafetyNet Alert continuously monitors oxygen levels and provides escalating visual and audible alerts to the patient on the mobile app and on the Home Medical Hub, notifying designated emergency contacts if levels to continue to decline.
Alert 1: Caution
When blood oxygen levels are low, the system alerts:
- On the app with sound and light
- At the Home Medical Hub with sound
Alert 2: Warning
When blood oxygen levels are very low, the system alerts:
- On the app with sound and light
- At the Home Medical Hub with sound
- Via automatic texts sent to designated friends or family†
Alert 3: Emergency
When blood oxygen levels drop even lower, the system alerts:
- On the app with sound and light
- At the Home Medical Hub with sound
- Via automatic texts sent to designated friends or family†

Powered by Clinically Proven Masimo SET® Technology
- Uses Masimo SET® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ technology, the same technology used in hospitals to monitor more than 200 million patients annually.7
- Masimo SET® has demonstrated significantly fewer false alarms and more true alarms than conventional pulse oximeters in hospital settings.8
- Masimo SET® is the primary pulse oximetry at 9 of the top 10 U.S. hospitals as ranked in to the 2021-22 U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll.9
