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 Pulse CO-Oximetry, 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
