Masimo Proprietary Noninvasive Blood Pressure

2019 / Industrial Design

The Masimo Proprietary Noninvasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) features a measure-on-inflation technique and incorporates single-patient-use cuffs, customizable scheduling (which eliminates the need for periodic manual clinician measurement), and variable inflation speeds.

Designed with Masimo's signature aesthetic, the NIBP has a soft, simple, and clean look that seamlessly integrates with the Masimo VSM system. Its design language ensures a cohesive visual experience. 

Moreover, the NIBP is built to withstand the demands of busy hospital environments, featuring a durable exterior capable of withstanding drops of up to one meter. Additionally, it is water-resistant, further enhancing its durability and reliability. 

Masimo NIBP Single-Patient Cuff

2019 / Industrial Design

Masimo NIBP single-patient cuff replaces the traditional hose on a cuff with a docking port welded onto it. This innovative docking system promotes ambulation and freedom of movement, supported by studies that have identified them as crucial factors for accelerated patient recovery.

Designed for both left and right arms, it offers the same experience as the left arm when the right arm is used, ensuring consistent and reliable measurements. Nurses primarily measure blood pressure on patients' left arms. However, if the left arm is unavailable, they may switch to the right arm.

Design challenges: 1. Symmetry of arteries in the two arms. 2. Locating the artery indicator in the center of the air bladder. 3. Maximizing patient comfort by positioning the NIBP device on the outer side of the arms.

Solutions: 1. The NIBP cuff is designed to be flip-able, allowing for easy switching between arms while maintaining correct placement. 2. Clear graphics indicate the designated location of the artery indicator for accurate positioning. 3. The curvature design of the cuff ensures both comfort and stability. 4. The NIBP docking port features channels that prevent the blocking of airflow during inflation, enhancing measurement accuracy.

Masimo Midsize Patient Monitor

2020 / Industrial Design

Project objective: Develop a compact and portable midsize patient monitor that incorporates advanced monitoring technologies. The device will be a standalone unit and will be mounted on a customizable and upgradeable mobile roll stand. This design will enable clinicians to configure the monitor according to specific clinical requirements easily.

Design Requirements:

• Incorporate an existing screen into the design.

• Ensure that the Masimo Open Connect® (MOC-9®) modules remain in their current location to maintain usability consistency.

• Consider limitations regarding the size of the battery, opting for a compact solution.

• Create a comfortable handle that allows for easy carrying and the ability to mount the device on a cart for versatile use.

Masimo LNCS Forehead Sensor

2018 / INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Masimo LNCS, Low Noise Cabled Sensors, provides excellent SpO2 performance while facilitating patient comfort with a connector positioned away from the sensor application site. It offers easy access during surgery, resuscitation, and in patients with finger deformities or when digit access is not possible.

The main goal of the project is to improve the existing Masimo LNCS forehead sensor by creating a next-generation version.

To achieve this, I have reimagined the sensor's structure, incorporating a new soft detector and emitter to enhance comfort. Additionally, the curvature design has been modified to increase the contact area where the headband applies pressure, resulting in a more secure fit on the skin. Lastly, the introduction of a bulge design on the bend relief helps prevent measurement errors caused by sensor movement.

Masimo Rad-97® Protective Boot

2018 / Industrial Design

Project objective: Develop fabric-based, foam-padded protective boots for Masimo Rad-97®, alongside durable, waterproof rubber boots for extended durability.
