About Masimo
Masimo (Nasdaq: MASI) develops innovative monitoring technologies that
significantly improve patient care -- helping solve "unsolvable" problems. In
1995, the company debuted Measure-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 demonstrate Masimo SET provides the
most trustworthy SpO2 and pulse rate measurements even under the most
difficult clinical conditions, including patient motion and low peripheral
perfusion. In 2005, Masimo introduced Masimo Rainbow SET, a breakthrough
noninvasive blood constituent monitoring platform that can measure many blood
constituents that previously required invasive procedures. Rainbow SET
continuously and noninvasively measures total hemoglobin (SpHb(TM)) and oxygen
content (SpOC(TM)) (both pending FDA clearance), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO(R)),
methemoglobin (SpMet(R)), and pleth variability index (PVI(TM)), in addition
to oxyhemoglobin (SpO2), perfusion index (PI) and pulse rate, 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."
