About Masimo
Masimo (Nasdaq: MASI) develops innovative monitoring technologies that
significantly improve patient care-helping solve "unsolvable" problems. In
1995, the company debuted Read-Through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse
oximetry, known as Masimo SET, and with it virtually eliminated false alarms
and increased pulse oximetry's ability to detect life-threatening events.
More than 100 independent and objective studies have confirmed that Masimo SET
technology allows clinicians to accurately monitor blood oxygen saturation in
critical care situations. Our Masimo SET platform has significantly addressed
many of the previous technology limitations, has substantially contributed to
improved patient outcomes and has been referred to by several industry sources
as the gold standard in pulse oximetry. In 2005, Masimo introduced Masimo
Rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry, which, for the first time, noninvasively
monitors the level of carbon monoxide and methemoglobin in the blood, allowing
early detection and treatment of potentially life-threatening conditions.
Founded in 1989, Masimo has the mission of "Improving Patient Outcomes and
Reducing Cost of Care by Taking Noninvasive Monitoring to New Sites and
Applications." Additional information about Masimo and its products may be
