FAQ's for Philips/ CAH SpO2 Sensors

1. Are Philips / CAH sensors compatible with Masimo Monitors?
No. Masimo’s socket is a ‘closed’ socket which does not allow for sensor connectivity beyond their sensor lines. A closed socket is one in which other manufacturer’s sensors do not connect to.


2. Are Philips / CAH sensors compatible with Nellcor Monitors?
·Maybe. Most Nellcor sockets are ‘closed’ sockets. A closed socket is one in which other manufacturer’s sensors do not connect to.
·Philips has validated their sensors on a few of Nellcor’s monitors. These monitors are the Nellcor N200, N3000, N395, N-20 PA, NPB-40. The M1943A or M1943AL adaptor cable is required to connect the Philips’/ CAH sensors.


3. Do Nellcor and Masimo sensors connect to the Philips FAST algorithm?
·Yes. The Philips FAST socket is an ‘open’ socket. An ‘open’ socket is one in which other manufacturer’s sensors DO connect to. Most Masimo and Nellcor sensors connect to the Philips FAST algorithm.
· The Masimo Rainbow sensors are not compatible with the Philips FAST algorithm.
· The remaining sensors in the Masimo portfolio are compatible with the Philips’ FAST algorithm. There are 2 different types of Masimo SET sensors:
1. Masimo LNCS sensors. These sensors require the 9898031 48221 adaptor cable to connect the LNCS sensors to the Philips’ FAST socket.
2. Masimo LNOP sensors. These sensors require the M1020-61100 adaptor cable to connect the LNOP sensors to the Philips’ FAST socket.

· The Nellcor Softcare and MaxFast sensors are not compatible with the Philips FAST algorithm. These are the only Nellcor sensors that are not compatible with the Philips’ FAST algorithm.
· The remaining sensors in the Nellcor portfolio are compatible with the Philips’ FAST algorithm. In order to connect the Nellcor Oximax sensors to the Philips’ FAST socket, an adaptor cable is required. The necessary adaptor cable is the M1943A (1.1m long) or the M1943AL (3m long).


4. Can Philips / CAH single-patient-use sensors be used on the same patient for multiple days?
· Yes. Philips’ sensors have been tested to last the ‘average patient stay’ or up to 6 days. You can use 1 sensor for an entire patient stay to control cost-per-patient-day. Our competitor’s sensor typically last only 2-3 days.

5. Do Philips / CAH sensors require an adaptor cable?
· Yes. Both Philips / CAH single-patient and reusable SpO2 sensors connect to the Philips A01 monitor technology via an adaptor cable.
· The required adaptor cable for the Philips / CAH SpO2 sensors is the M1943A. The M1943A is 1 meters long. And there is a longer version of this cable, M1943AL. The “L” stands for “long”. The M1943AL is 3 meters long.

Tax Credit for Electronic Health Records

I know I stress on this a bunch, but Electronic Health Records are not going away. You have one month to get up an running on an E.H.R. and be qualified for a tax credit for 2009. As we get ready to do our taxes, you always look for things you can deduct, right? Well, E.H.R. along with medical equipment, are great opportunities for deduction!

I am not a tax professional, so I will insist that you go talk with yours, but here are some key points to know if you will qualify for the tax credit.


Taxpayers may purchase up to $800,000 of qualifying equipment each tax year before the write-off is reduced dollar for dollar. Property
included in the 179 deduction:

• Tangible property depreciated under MACRS with a recovery period of 20 years or less
• Computer software (depreciated under Section 167(f )(1))
• Qualified leasehold improvement property (defined in Section 168(k)(3))
The equipment should be acquired by purchase for use in active conduct of a trade or business
