Masimo Sleep, a wearable sleep quality solution based on clinically proven vital signs technology, is unlike any other sleep management solution available to consumers. Masimo Sleep analyzes your data to provide truly personalized multi-dimensional insight into your sleep health—empowering you with actionable guidance to help you make healthier lifestyle choices that improve your sleep.

The user wears a lightweight sensor (for up to ten nights per sensor), while the Sleep app collects the user’s data using clinically proven Masimo SET^® pulse oximetry to track changes in key vital signs during sleep. By analyzing oxygenation, heart rate, and respiratory rate overnight, Masimo Sleep can provide guidance to help users better understand, for example, why they may snore or wake up tired, and recommend ways for the user to improve the quality of their sleep. Other at home products look at proxies for healthy sleep, like how often users roll over, or listen to the sound of users' breathing and snoring, rather than their vital signs. Masimo Sleep helps people to better understand their physiological status overnight—from the comfort of their own bed.

Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo, said, “We are delighted to unveil Masimo Sleep as part of our line of direct-to-consumer solutions, which also includes the MightySat^® fingertip pulse oximeter. Based on our expertise in monitoring the physiological status of hundreds of millions of patients each year, Masimo Sleep significantly expands consumers’ ability to make healthier decisions, at home, by equipping them with what we believe is the best solution for this need.”

Masimo Sleep is not FDA 510(k) cleared. It is available as a general wellness product.

Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is a global medical technology company that develops and produces a wide array of industry-leading monitoring technologies, including innovative measurements, sensors, patient monitors, and automation and connectivity solutions. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care. Masimo SET^® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry, introduced in 1995, has been shown in over 100 independent and objective studies to outperform other pulse oximetry technologies.² Masimo SET^® has also been shown to help clinicians reduce severe retinopathy of prematurity in neonates,³ improve CCHD screening in newborns,⁴and, when used for continuous monitoring with Masimo Patient SafetyNet™ in post-surgical wards, reduce rapid response team activations, ICU transfers, and costs.^5-7Masimo SET^® is estimated to be used on more than 200 million patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the world,¹ and is the primary pulse oximetry at 9 of the top 10 hospitals according to the 2019-20 U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll.⁸ Masimo continues to refine SET^® and in 2018, announced that SpO₂ accuracy on RD SET^® sensors during conditions of motion has been significantly improved, providing clinicians with even greater confidence that the SpO₂ values they rely on accurately reflect a patient’s physiological status. 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^®), RPVi™ (rainbow^® PVi), and Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi™). In 2013, Masimo introduced the Root^® Patient Monitoring and Connectivity Platform, built from the ground up to be as flexible and expandable as possible to facilitate the addition of other Masimo and third-party monitoring technologies; key Masimo additions include Next Generation SedLine^® Brain Function Monitoring, O3^® Regional Oximetry, and ISA™ Capnography with NomoLine^® sampling lines. Masimo’s family of continuous and spot-check monitoring Pulse CO-Oximeters^® includes devices designed for use in a variety of clinical and non-clinical scenarios, including tetherless, wearable technology, such as Radius-7^® and Radius PPG™, portable devices like Rad-67™, fingertip pulse oximeters like MightySat^® Rx, and devices available for use both in the hospital and at home, such as Rad-97^®. Masimo hospital automation and connectivity solutions are centered around the Iris^® platform, and include Iris Gateway^®, Patient SafetyNet, Replica™, Halo ION™, UniView™, and Masimo SafetyNet™.
