Prescription Use of Stork Provides Alarms When Baby’s Oxygen Saturation and Pulse Rate Are Abnormal
Leveraging the same Masimo sensor technology that monitors more than 10 million babies in hospitals every year, Stork provides continuous, accurate monitoring of a baby’s health. Stork is available at retailers nationwide as a non-medical device for general health and wellness purposes. With this clearance, Stork is now available for prescription use to continuously monitor babies at home as a medical device for healthy or sick babies.
When prescribed, parents and family members will now be able to receive alarms through the Stork app regarding their baby’s oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and skin temperature. In addition, they will be able to share vital signs data remotely with clinicians. Stork also alerts parents if their baby turns over and is sleeping face down, which can be dangerous for babies.
