  • Nellcor

    Nellcor has announced availability of its new Intouch Remote Oximetry Notification System. With the system, small radio transmitters are placed on top of each bedside pulse oximeter (which measures pulse rate and oxygenation of blood) to transmit alarm data to pagers worn by clinical staff in the unit. When the pulse oximeter alarms at a patient's bedside, the clinician is alerted within seconds via the pager, which displays the bed number, alarm message, the patient's pulse rate, and other data.

  • Commerce One

    Commerce One and German software giant SAP have announced that SAP has agreed to invest up to an additional $225 million in Commerce One.

    "Our goal from the first day of our alliance with SAP has been to deliver solutions to enable collaborative commerce, helping companies do business with partners and customers anywhere, anytime across an open e-commerce platform," said Mark Hoffman, chairman and CEO of Commerce One. "SAP's additional investment in Commerce One is further testament to both the strength of our alliance and the strength of Commerce One's e-commerce capabilities."
