NEUCHATEL, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2016--
Masimo
(NASDAQ: MASI) announced today the CE marking for the pediatric
indication for O3™ regional oximetry with the O3 pediatric sensor.
Regional oximetry, also referred to as tissue or cerebral oximetry,
helps clinicians monitor cerebral oxygenation.

O3 regional oximetry uses near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to
continuously monitor absolute and trended regional tissue oxygen
saturation (rSO2) in the cerebral region. Early detection and
correction of imbalances in oxygen delivery to the brain and vital
organs are important tools in helping patients avoid postoperative
morbidity and adverse outcomes.1 With the release of the O3
pediatric sensor, O3 regional oximetry monitoring of rSO2 is
now available to pediatric patients weighing less than 40 kg (88 lbs).
“O3 regional oximetry provides access to valuable data about cerebral
oxygen saturation, and studies have shown that the risks of cerebral
desaturations include neurological injury2,3, increased
length of hospital stays3, increased time on mechanical
ventilation4, and other adverse outcomes5,” said
Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. “With adult trend accuracy of 3%
and absolute accuracy of 4% without controlling CO2, and
trend accuracy of 3% in pediatric patients6, Masimo O3 should
help clinicians build a better picture of brain oxygenation – and
hopefully better outcomes for all of their patients, including pediatric
ones.”
Masimo O3 regional oximetry and SedLine® brain function
monitoring are both available on a single platform, Masimo Root®
– opening up a path to better understanding of the brain.
O3 regional oximetry for use with adults weighing 40 kg (88 lbs) or
greater has received FDA 510(k) clearance. O3 regional oximetry for use
with pediatric patients weighing less than 40 kg (88 lbs) has not
received FDA 510(k) clearance; the O3 pediatric sensor is not currently
for sale in the United States.

About Masimo
Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is a global leader in innovative noninvasive
monitoring technologies. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes and
reduce the cost of care by taking noninvasive monitoring to new sites
and applications. In 1995, the company debuted Masimo SET®
Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry, which has been
shown in multiple studies to significantly reduce false alarms and
accurately monitor for true alarms. Masimo SET® is estimated
to be used on more than 100 million patients in leading hospitals and
other healthcare settings around the world. In 2005, Masimo introduced
rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry technology, allowing noninvasive
and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously could
only be measured invasively, including total hemoglobin (SpHb®),
oxygen content (SpOC™), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO®),
methemoglobin (SpMet®), and more recently, Pleth Variability
Index (PVI®) and Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI™), in addition to
SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (PI). In 2014, Masimo
introduced Root®, an intuitive patient monitoring and
connectivity platform with the Masimo Open Connect™ (MOC-9™) interface.
Masimo is also taking an active leadership role in mHealth with products
such as the Radius-7™ wearable patient monitor and the MightySat™
fingertip pulse oximeter. Additional information about Masimo and its
