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, which 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 reliable SpO2 and pulse rate measurements even under the most challenging
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)), oxygen content (SpOC(TM)),
carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO(R)), methemoglobin (SpMet(R)), and PVI(TM), in
addition to oxyhemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and perfusion index (PI),
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
