Seriously?
No one has any thoughts on this? Our hospital has to pick a company. We currently use Massimo.
Many of the older physicians think that Nellcor works better.
By the way, we will still have the Massimo Rainbow's to use, so that isn't a factor.

The rep for Nellcor is really rather stunning, so I am support of them coming around a lot - but that is really the only thing I had to offer.
Both are good and reliable.
Once your place buys, you won't likely see that rep any more, so don't let that influence you.
I think the silence is due to the fact that most pulse ox systems are built into multiple-function monitors. Doubt many look at ala cart stuff anymore.

I used both during residency. Enough people liked the Masimo (and the hospital probably got a deal as well) better that the whole hospital changed from Nellcor to Masimo. In my experience it reads better through noise (ex: wiggling babies).
Where I am now, we have Nellcor. It's OK.

Where I trained the pediatric OR's (free-standing peds hospital) and the PICU used Massimo and swore by it. All of our adult OR's have a Nellcor as a secondary pulse-ox that is separate from the other integrated monitors. I don't know if Nellcor makes good pediatric stuff but I liked the Massimo in pediatric pt's. I liked the Nellcor because they had forehead probes we could use on severe vasculopaths or pt's on high-dose pressors with digital ischemia. I used them in completely different settings and did not have the option to mix-n-match pt's and probes. Don't know if that helps, but that is my experience.
