Masimo announced the U.S. launch of Iris® Device Management System, an automation and connectivity solution designed to streamline management of Masimo devices used throughout a hospital system. Iris DMS is designed to address the challenges of maintaining many patient monitors in a complex hospital environment. Iris DMS securely connects over a hospital’s existing network to all connected Masimo devices to provide an easy-to-use dashboard that allows Biomedical Engineers and IT professionals to view detailed diagnostic information about connected Masimo devices at a glance, without the need to physically interact with each device. Iris DMS supports remote software upgrades to ensure all devices stay up to date, easily and efficiently. Patient profiles, policy files, and network settings can be distributed to multiple devices in a single step, simplifying device management. In addition, connected devices routinely ‘ping’ Iris DMS, allowing users to quickly identify any operational issues with any single Masimo device using the intuitive display of near real-time connection status.
