Apple and Masimo Clash in U.S. Appeals Court Over Apple Watch Import Ban

Apple urged a U.S. appeals court to overturn a ruling that led to the removal of the blood-oxygen feature from its Apple Watches, following a patent dispute with medical tech company Masimo. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) had previously ruled that Apple’s pulse oximetry technology infringed on Masimo’s patents, resulting in a temporary import ban on the Series 9 and Ultra 2 models.

Apple argued the decision unfairly impacted users and was based on a product Masimo hadn’t yet launched when it filed its complaint. Masimo countered that Apple misused its technology after failed collaboration talks and that a finished product wasn’t needed to enforce its patent rights. The court is now reviewing whether the ITC ruling was justified.

  Baby's First Test and Children’s National Expands CCHD Parent Education

The Heart Smart video series developed by Children’s National Medical Center (Children’s National) is changing the educational landscape of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD). As a 2012 and 2013 Baby’s First Test Challenge Award recipient, Children’s National created the Heart Smart video series to educate healthcare providers, families, and advocates about screening for CCHD using pulse oximetry.  These videos have received positive responses within the newborn screening system on both domestic and international platforms.

With a strong mission to create innovative solutions to pediatric health challenges and improve health outcomes for children across different populations, Children’s National did not stop there. Children’s National knew that gaps in knowledge about CCHD screening existed among large populations of patients, families, and advocates for multiple reasons, but partially because of language barriers and issues of access to the videos. To close this gap, Children’s National translated the Heart Smart parent video into five languages: Arabic, Spanish, Russian, French, and simple Chinese. “We are happy to provide resources that may be utilized internationally to increase awareness and improve education surrounding CCHD screening,” said Elizabeth Bradshaw Mikula, MSN, RN, CPN, Clinical Program Manager for Cardiac Research. The original and translated versions of the Heart Smart parent video are available on YouTube and in CD format for those without access to video-streaming sites.
