Why Masimo thought it could take on Apple (www.theverge.com)

• Medical device maker Masimo is confident it can win its legal battle against Apple over a feature on the Apple Watch, citing previous victories against True Wearables, a startup run by a former Apple executive.

• Masimo alleges that Apple couldn't have developed certain watch technologies without the help of Marcelo Lamego, who previously worked at both Masimo and Apple.

• Masimo CEO Joe Kiani accuses Apple of a deliberate infringement of intellectual property, resulting in an import ban on certain Apple Watch models, which has been temporarily paused pending further review.

That’s when Lamego went on to start his own company, True Wearables, which Masimo claimed used its technology when developing the Oxxiom, a wireless and disposable pulse oximeter.

Excuse me, a wireless and disposable pulse oximeter?

I wouldn't be surprised if this Marcelo person is a millionaire with that kind of twisted thinking. Disposable vapes are bad enough - those devices literally contain rechargeable Lipo batteries, and now this individual starts his own company and one-ups that with disposable, wireless medical equipment?

Just wow

So design one that's easily cleaned. E.g. you throw it in a bucket of chemical X for 15 minutes. Battle field hospitals would rather have 50 cleanable items than 5,000 disposable ones. Far easier to transport.
