As a company that is powered by fascination and accomplishment, Masimo develops 

breakthrough noninvasive patient monitoring solutions that elude others—resulting in 

innovative technologies that solve “unsolvable” clinical problems. That’s because when 

you focus on fascination and open yourself up to the unbridled exploration of what could 

be, the results transcend what others believe is possible. From the invention and launch of 

the world’s first measure-through motion and low perfusion pulse oximetry technology in 

1995, to the introduction of noninvasive and continuous hemoglobin monitoring in 2008,  

we have been continually driven to find new ways to do what is best for patient care.

Fascination 
                  leads to Discovery

The most complex discoveries often start with a very simple question: Why? Almost twenty years 

ago, two young engineers asked why pulse oximetry wouldn’t work during patient motion and 

low perfusion—and why clinicians had to be plagued by false alarms as a result. They wondered if 

employing advanced signal processing technologies similar to those used in anti-submarine warfare  

could free clinicians from these limitations and allow pulse oximetry to become a useful tool across 

a broad spectrum of clinical applications. As a result of their curiosity, determination and hard work, 

Masimo was born and one of the most daunting challenges in noninvasive patient monitoring was 

solved with the introduction of Masimo SET, the world’s first measure-through motion and low 

perfusion pulse oximetry technology.      

The uninhibited exploration 
of ideas and a focused sense 
of determination can lead to 
unexpected discoveries.   

The breakthrough parallel processing algorithms and adaptive filters of Masimo SET 
pulse oximetry technology provide unmatched accuracy and reliability.

Proven clinical performance leads top hospitals 
around the world to choose Masimo SET 

As the gold standard in pulse oximetry, Masimo SET is at work in the world’s most 

demanding clinical settings. Because of its unmatched accuracy and reliability, more 

than half of the top hospitals in the United States listed on the US News & World 

Report Honor Roll (including eight of the top ten) have adopted Masimo SET as their 

primary pulse oximetry platform. 

To provide maximum clinical flexibility, Masimo offers the largest array of sensors 

and multiple handheld and bedside devices in addition to being integrated into more 

than 100 multiparameter monitors and 50 monitoring brands.

Discovery 
               leads to Innovation

Making a breakthrough discovery only leads to continued innovation when it changes the way you 

look at things. At Masimo, developing the world’s first measure-through motion and low perfusion 

pulse oximetry allowed us to approach the challenge of developing other noninvasive physiological 

measurements without being constrained by prior conceptions of what is or is not possible. In 

2005, after more than 10 years of research, we launched Masimo Rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry, 

the first and only technology to noninvasively and continuously measure blood constituents and 

fluid responsiveness that previously required invasive procedures and time-consuming laboratory 

analysis. Masimo Rainbow SET builds on the gold standard Masimo SET pulse oximetry technology 

to give clinicians an unprecedented level of real-time information to make more informed and timely 

clinical decisions.

Innovation comes from looking 
beyond the obvious to find 
solutions to challenges and 
problems that others can’t see.

With breakthrough noninvasive measurements not available from any other 
company, Masimo innovations provide maximum clinical impact.

Turning multiple wavelengths of 
light into breakthrough noninvasive 
measurements

Masimo Rainbow SET technology is based on the solid foundation of 

Masimo SET pulse oximetry. But instead of using two wavelengths of light 

to determine arterial oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) like Masimo SET does, 

Rainbow SET uses more than seven wavelengths of light housed in a single, 

simple-to-apply sensor to monitor a broad spectrum of clinically-useful 

blood constituents. In addition to SpO2 and pulse rate, Masimo Rainbow SET 

provides a range of measurements including:

> Total Hemoglobin (SpHb)—may help clinicians better manage  

    blood transfusions, identify occult bleeding and detect anemia.

> Oxygen Content (SpOC)—gives clinicians a more complete picture of 

    their patients’ oxygenation status, not just their O2 saturation level.

> Fluid Responsiveness (PVI)—helps clinicians noninvasively and   

    continuously determine whether to administer fluids.

> Methemoglobin (SpMet)—noninvasively and immediately diagnose,  

    monitor, and treat patients with acquired methemoglobinemia from 

    drugs commonly used in the hospital, such as benzocaine and dapsone.

> Carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO)—allows clinicians and first responders  

    to noninvasively and immediately diagnose, monitor, and treat carbon  

    monoxide poisoning.

These measurements provide clinicians with an enhanced level of clinical 

data upon which to make more informed and timely decisions.

Innovation 
                 leads to Opportunity

True innovation lights up the darkness in understanding, and illuminates pathways to create 

unexpected solutions to problems. Masimo develops new and innovative noninvasive monitoring 

technologies that help clinicians around the world provide better care to a wide range of patients in 

diverse clinical settings. Whether it is keeping a firefighter safe by noninvasively measuring the carbon 

monoxide levels in his blood right after he comes out of the fire, or performing a pain-free blood test on 

an expectant mom in a physician’s office by measuring her hemoglobin levels without drawing a drop 

of blood, our new technologies are making a difference in the lives of patients while creating continued 

opportunities for growth. With more than 260 patents issued and another 178 pending worldwide, The 

Wall Street Journal in 2008 said the industry impact of Masimo’s patent portfolio is “by far the highest 

among all medtech companies, not to mention one of the highest among all companies tracked by the 

Patent Board across 17 industries.” 

Bright ideas get attention and 
provide the chance to explore 
new and exciting opportunities.

Breakthrough measurements allow Masimo to continue to bring 
noninvasive monitoring to new sites and new applications.

Forward-looking Statements

This document may include forward-looking statements. These statements include but are not limited to: statements 
regarding our goals and focus; estimates about our future market potential; our belief that we will continue to develop 
“breakthrough” technologies; and statements regarding expectations for total hemoglobin (SpHb). These forward-looking 
statements are based on current expectations about future events affecting us and are subject to uncertainties and 
factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, including but not limited to: risks 
related to obtaining regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies; 
dependence on our patents and proprietary rights; the development or availability of competitive products or technologies; 
our assumption that Masimo SET and Masimo Rainbow SET will deliver a sufficient level of clinical improvement over 
alternative pulse oximetry and patient-monitoring systems to allow for rapid adoption of the technology; and other factors 
discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2009, filed with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 4, 2009. Although we believe that the expectations reflected 
in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not know whether our expectations will prove correct. You are 
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We do 
not undertake any obligation to update, amend, or clarify these forward-looking statements or the risk factors contained in 
our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2009, whether as a result of new information, future events, 
or otherwise, except as may be required under the federal securities laws.
