TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 31, 2017--
Masimo (NASDAQ:
MASI) announced today that researchers at the Tokyo Women’s Medical
University, Department of Anesthesiology, in Japan have published a
study investigating the measurement of respiration rate in volunteers.
Masimo acoustic respiration rate (Masimo), using the Masimo Radical-7®
Pulse CO-Oximeter®, was studied alongside Nellcor
plethysmographic respiration rate (Nellcor), using the Nellcor PM1000N.1

Dr. Kitsiripant and colleagues enrolled 50 healthy adult volunteers in
the study. Respiration rate, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation (SpO2)
values were measured using the two technologies: Nellcor respiration
rate, pulse rate, and SpO2 on PM1000N (version 2.0.20.0) were
measured using an SpO2 adhesive sensor on the left index
finger; Masimo respiration rate on Radical-7 (V.7910, processor
V1.3.06i) was measured using the RAS-125c (rev D) acoustic sensor on the
left side of the neck, with an R1-25L adhesive sensor on the right index
finger measuring Masimo pulse rate and SpO2.
Both devices were configured to alarm in the event of respiratory pause
(Masimo) or low respiration rate (Nellcor) for 30 seconds, respiration
rate under 10 breaths/minute, and SpO2 of 90% or below. The
volunteers were required to breathe at a rate of 12 breaths/minute for 3
minutes, then hold their breath until one of the device’s respiratory
pause/low respiration rate alarms was triggered, then resume breathing.
Because of the difficulty for some volunteers of completely stopping
airflow for 30 seconds, a smaller group of 10 volunteers was recruited
to perform the same procedure but with respiratory pause/low respiration
rate alarms set to 15 seconds.
Of the 143 procedures in which breathing was successfully held for more
than 30 seconds, Masimo alarmed 114 times and Nellcor alarmed 15 times.
The average time to alarm for Masimo was 35 seconds and for Nellcor, 59
seconds. Most of the alarms for Nellcor followed from SpO2
being < 90%, whereas most for Masimo were caused by respiration rate <
10 breaths/minute (which tended to occur prior to the drop in SpO2).
Of the 29 procedures in which breathing was held for 15 seconds, Masimo
alarmed 29 times, with an average time to alarm of 21 seconds, and
Nellcor did not alarm at all.
The researchers concluded that Masimo acoustic respiration rate provided
faster detection of respiratory pause than Nellcor, but it should be
noted as a limitation of the study that the measurements were taken
using volunteer participants who maintained a fixed breathing rate and
then abruptly held their breath.
rainbow Acoustic Monitoring® sensors and cables are indicated
for the continuous, noninvasive monitoring of respiratory rate (RRa®).
The RAS-125c sensor is indicated for adult and pediatric patients, in
hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile and home environments.

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. 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® has also been
shown to help clinicians reduce severe retinopathy of prematurity in
neonates,1 improve CCHD screening in newborns,2
and, when used for continuous monitoring with Masimo Patient SafetyNet™*
in post-surgical wards, reduce rapid response activations and costs.3,4,5
Masimo SET® is estimated to be used on more than 100 million
patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the
world,6 and is the primary pulse oximetry at 16 of the top 20
hospitals listed in the 2016-17 U.S. News and World Report Best
Hospitals Honor Roll.7 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®), Pleth Variability Index (PVi®), and more
recently, 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, enabling other companies to
augment Root with new features and measurement capabilities. Masimo is
also taking an active leadership role in mHealth with products such as
the Radius-7™ wearable patient monitor, iSpO2®
pulse oximeter for smartphones, and the MightySat™ fingertip pulse
oximeter. Additional information about Masimo and its products may be

ORi has not received FDA 510(k) clearance and is not available for sale
in the United States.
