NEUCHATEL, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 8, 2016--
Masimo (NASDAQ:
MASI) announced today the full market release outside the U.S. of the
Pronto® Pulse CO-Oximeter® with Next Generation
SpHb® Spot Check technology. Next Generation Pronto features
rainbow SET™ technology, for noninvasive spot checking of total
hemoglobin (SpHb), oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR),
and perfusion index (PI).

In addition to the Next Generation SpHb technology, Masimo has also
released the rainbow® DCI®-mini reusable sensor to
accompany the Pronto. The DCI-mini is a universal sensor usable on
patients greater than 3 kg, making Pronto an even more versatile
solution.
The Next Generation SpHb technology in Pronto offers motion tolerance
and a 40% reduction in time to display SpHb results. Field accuracy has
been improved in the range of 6 to 11 g/dL, and is comparable to certain
portable invasive point of care devices.
“This is a significant enhancement to the noninvasive measurement we
introduced 7 years ago,” stated Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo.
“Since then, all of the clinical outcome studies we’re aware of on our
continuous SpHb technology have been positive,1-3 which is
something that couldn’t be said for standard pulse oximetry before the
introduction of Masimo SET SpO2. We will continue to improve
SpHb until it has the same measure-through motion and low perfusion
performance as our SET SpO2 technology.”
An upgrade program will be available for qualified existing Pronto
customers. Pronto with Next Generation SpHb and the DCI-mini reusable
sensor have not received FDA 510(k) clearance and are not currently
available 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
