presented validating the accuracy, reliability, and clinical value of Masimo SET Pulse Oximetry and Rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry -- the first-and-only technology platform to noninvasively measure blood constituents and fluid responsiveness that previously required invasive procedures, including: noninvasive & continuous total hemoglobin (SpHb), oxygen content (SpOC(TM)), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO(R)), methemoglobin (SpMet(R)) and Pleth Variability Index (PVI), in addition to the 'Gold Standard' measure-through-motion-and-low-perfusion performance of Masimo SET Oxygen Saturation (SpO2), Pulse Rate (PR) and Perfusion Index (PI).

Michael O'Reilly, MD, Masimo Executive Vice President of Medical Affairs, stated; "The 13 new studies presented at ASA this year add to the growing body of evidence showing that the use of Masimo SET pulse oximetry and Masimo Rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry improves patient safety and outcomes."

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, a breakthrough noninvasive blood constituent monitoring platform that can measure many blood constituents that previously required invasive procedures.
