The Root of Our Inspiration

Letter from the Chairman & CEO 

Delivering on Our Mission and Guiding Principles

For this year’s annual report, we selected a cover image that perfectly symbolizes our core mission. The image 

shows someone who cares, holding a patient who needs to be cared for. This interaction is the root of our 

inspiration—the healing connection between patients and their caring caregivers. From the very beginning, we 

have sought to revolutionize noninvasive monitoring so that patients can be better assessed and cared for by 

those who care. From that vision, 24 years ago, came our mission—‘improving patient outcomes and reducing 

cost of care by taking noninvasive monitoring to new sites and applications’. Along with our mission, we 

established a strong and simple set of guiding principles that stay with us today: 

>    Remain faithful to your promises and responsibilities

>    Thrive on fascination and accomplishment and not on greed and power

> 

 Strive to make each year better than the year before both personally and for the team

>    Make each day as fun as possible

>    Do what is best for patient care

At that same time, and with a gifted group of engineers, we also set on a bold course to innovate in ways that no one had done before. For 

solving the measure-through motion and low perfusion pulse oximetry problem that had stumped the industry, we got great recognition 

from the scientific, clinical, and business communities. And for finding a way to measure carbon monoxide, methemoglobin, hemoglobin 

noninvasively, and acoustically measure respiration rate, we received more recognition and accolades. We have not stopped. We continue 

to launch more breakthrough noninvasive measurements, monitors, and systems, but we also always strive to give our customers and 

partners the most caring sales and service team. In the process, we have grown double-digits since our first year of sales and, in 2012, we 

once again delivered record revenue despite a challenging global economy and rapidly evolving healthcare market.

Masimo in my home in 1989. But after 

more than two decades of technical

solid growth, our roots remain the 

same. They have just gotten stronger 

and broader. From the outset, Masimo 

resolved to be different from any other 

company. We didn’t just set out to create 

breakthrough technologies; we also 

wanted to improve patient lives more 

significantly than any other company.

The Root of Root™

Instantly Interpretable, High-visibility Display

With the Radical-7 handheld in its dock, Root enables 

instant interpretation of Masimo’s breakthrough 

noninvasive measurements. The brilliant, high-resolution, 

adaptive display is designed to aid clinicians rapid 

assessment of patient status in three distinct ways:

> “Trend” view in which each measurement  

value is displayed alongside its graphical trend 

> “Analog” view for quick assessment  

through gauges showing measurement  

values in relation to alarm ranges

> When docked with Root, the Radical-7’s screen  

can transform into an alarm status visualizer, 

with a three-dimensional, anatomical image that 

associates device measurements with alarm status.

Intuitive Touchscreen Navigation for Easy and 
Adaptable Use in Any Hospital Environment

With a simple tap, swipe, or drag-and-drop, screen 

views and parameter sizing can be customized to 

suit any hospital environment, workflow, clinician 

preference, or patient-specific need. This allows 

Root to be adaptively used across a wide variety of 

care areas with disparate clinical and operational 

requirements—from the operating room to the 

intensive care unit to the general floor.

Capnography and Gas Monitoring Adds Even 
More to the Patient Safety Equation 

Changes in expired respiratory gas can be an early indicator of an 
adverse respiratory event. Hypoventilation, hyperventilation, airway 
obstruction, and other potentially life-threatening conditions can be rapidly 
detected with capnography—enabling clinicians to intervene as early as 
possible. Capnography and gas monitoring also provide insight into the 
effectiveness of the anesthesia breathing circuit, aiding clinicians in 
maintaining proper gas concentrations and ventilation levels.

Our new Phasein™ capnography and gas monitoring solutions complement our breakthrough noninvasive 

portfolio with innovative, multispectral technologies for measuring respiratory gases. The solutions range 

from integrated OEM solutions to external “plug-in and measure” gas analyzers to handheld devices. With 

multiple measurements delivered through either mainstream or sidestream options, Masimo customers 

can now benefit from end-tidal CO2, FiCO2, RR, N2O, O2, and anesthetic agent monitoring in a range of 

hospital environments—from the operating room to intensive care to the general floor.

IRMA™—A Complete Monitor in a Probe

Designed with the latest advancements in miniaturized components 

and microprocessor technology, the IRMA mainstream analyzer weighs 

less than 1 ounce and fits in the palm of your hand. This versatile, 

complete mainstream capnography and gas monitoring system  

can be utilized with adult, pediatric, or infant patients. 

ISA™—Ultimate Performance in a Sidestream Analyzer

Enabled by state-of-the-art Phasein spectrometer technology that utilizes nine different 

wavelengths of light and powerful signal processing algorithms, ISA provides the clinician with 

precise capnography and gas measurements with crisp waveforms that help depict the clinical 

situation for adults and neonates, from the operating room to the general floor. ISA sidestream 

analyzers are available as standalone or easy-to-integrate OEM modules. 

Nomoline™—No Moisture Sampling Line

Nomoline fluid protection technology eliminates 

common problems associated with conventional 

sidestream gas analysis. Incorporating a special 

polymer and a hydrophobic bacterial filter, the 

Nomoline allows water in the sampling line to 

evaporate into the surrounding air, while leaving 

oxygen, carbon dioxide, and anesthetic gases 

unaffected. Specially designed for low-flow 

applications and functional in any orientation, 

Nomoline technology can be used in any clinical 

application for all types of patients from neonates to 

adults. Nomoline is designed to extend the product

Integrating Measurements to  
Enable Meaningful Use of Health 
Information Technology

Today’s challenging hospital environment subjects clinicians to 
increasing mountains of information with expanding documentation 
requirements. Masimo’s innovation simplifies and automates this 
process, streamlining workflow and improving patient safety by 
empowering clinicians to focus on patients rather than technology.

Keeping Clinicians and Patients Connected

New standards for hospitals require meaningful use of the electronic health record (EHR) 

by charting changes in vital signs as well as documentation of interventions. Masimo 

enables automatic recording and transmission of key data into the EHR so clinicians spend 

their time caring for patients, not recording data. Masimo’s pulse oximeters also feature 

a built-in wireless radio for communication through a hospital’s wireless network—with 

seamless integration to the EHR. Patient SafetyNet* incorporates the Masimo Adaptive 

Connectivity Engine™ (ACE), which enables two-way, HL7-based connectivity to the EHR. 

ACE significantly reduces the time and complexity to integrate and validate custom HL7 

implementations, and demonstrates Masimo’s commitment to innovation that automates 

patient care with open, scalable, and standards-based connectivity architecture.

Iris™ Integration Platform

Despite huge advances in medical technology, the lack of device communication and 

integration creates risks to patient safety in hospitals around the world. Existing 

approaches for device interoperability require separate hardware, software, and/or 

network infrastructure, which can clutter the patient room, burden IT management,  
and increase the complexity and cost of care. 

Root with Iris offers a built-in connectivity gateway that can integrate 

multiple standalone devices such as IV pumps, ventilators, beds, 

and other patient monitors. Iris allows device information to 

be remotely viewed with Patient SafetyNet™, transmitted 

through notification systems or to electronic health 

record (EHR) systems to facilitate better patient care 

and meaningful use, and eventually displayed on Root 

at the point of care to facilitate decision support. Device 

connectivity with Iris is designed to leverage existing 

network infrastructures and reduce costs while enhancing 

workflows and decision support to improve patient safety, 

whether the clinician is at the bedside, down the hall, or  

across the globe.

Supporting Clinicians in Reducing 
Blood Transfusions with SpHb®

With the rainbow® measurement platform including 
noninvasive total hemoglobin (SpHb), Masimo 
technologies aid some of the most common, costly,  
and critical decisions made in healthcare.

Risks and Costs of Red Blood Cell Transfusions

Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is one of the most frequent procedures 

performed in US hospitals, with one in ten inpatients receiving one  

or more blood units.1 While blood loss during surgery is a known risk 

factor, RBC transfusion overuse can increase patient risk and cost of 

care. Meta-analysis of pooled results from multiple observational studies, 

each of which adjusts for risks between patients, shows that patients 

receiving RBC transfusions have an 88% higher mortality, 69% higher 

infection rate, and 250% higher rate of acute respiratory distress 

syndrome (ARDS).2 Multiple randomized controlled trials indicate that 

restrictive transfusion practices—those in which significantly lower 

hemoglobin triggers are used to determine need for transfusion—are 

safe.3 In addition, the cost of each RBC unit is estimated between 

$522 and $1,183 per unit, without including morbidity-associated 

costs.4 Beyond the cost of transfusion, each RBC unit transfused 

is associated with increased cost of care and transfusions that 

occur at higher hemoglobin levels increase the cost of care more  

than those given at lower hemoglobin levels.5  

With the growing recognition of the need to reduce transfusions, 

noninvasive and continuous hemoglobin (SpHb) can be a key tool  

to help overcome the limitations of existing approaches.

Risk-adjusted analysis of multiple observational 

studies has shown that RBC transfusions are 

associated with 88% higher mortality, 69% higher 
infection rate, and 250% higher rate of ARDS.2

“

 Deciding to transfuse based  
on a single static measurement 
more often results in patients 
receiving unnecessary 
transfusions with increased 
risks, costs, and the depletion of 
an already scarce blood supply. 
New medical technologies 
and devices that continuously 
monitor hemoglobin, oxygen, 
and perfusion will become 
essential for transfusions.”

Limitations with Existing 
Approaches to Assess  
Transfusion Need

The most universally available 

information about whether a 

transfusion is needed during surgery 

is estimated blood loss, which is often 

overstated. Visible blood and fluid loss 

appears to tell one how much blood has 

been lost, but in a recent study at Duke 

University, anesthesiologists estimated

How SpHb Monitoring Helps

Masimo’s solution provides hemoglobin

The noninvasive aspect makes the 

technology easy to apply to the patient, 

and the continuous aspect assists in 

better decision making. While SpHb

Reducing Blood 
Transfusions and Costs

Clinical Evidence that SpHb Monitoring 
Helps Reduce Transfusions

There are now two studies showing that  

SpHb monitoring helps clinicians reduce  

RBC transfusions.

SpHb monitoring has been shown in a  

randomized controlled trial in lower blood loss  

surgery (orthopedic surgery) to reduce the 

frequency of intraoperative blood transfusions  

by 87% (from 4.5% to 0.6%) and the average 

number of RBC units transfused by 90%  

(from 0.1 to 0.01 units per patient).1 

SpHb monitoring has also been shown in a 

prospective cohort study in higher blood loss 

surgery (neurosurgery) to reduce the percent  

of patients receiving three or more RBC units 

from 73% to 32% and reduce the average 

number of RBC units transfused by 47% (from 

1.9 to 1.0 units per patient).2  In this study, the 

researchers also showed that patients who 

needed RBC units received them sooner by 

41 minutes on average. 

Projected Cost Savings from SpHb  
Monitoring to Reduce Transfusions

To project the potential savings from SpHb monitoring, the 

range of published cost estimates for RBC transfusions ($522 

to $1,183) can be multiplied by the expected reduction in RBC 

transfusions per patient.3 In lower blood loss surgery, the 0.09 

lower RBC units per patient with SpHb monitoring is projected 

to reduce RBC costs by $47 to $106 per patient monitored.1 In 

higher blood loss surgery, the 0.90 lower RBC units per patient 

with SpHb monitoring is projected to reduce RBC costs by $470 

to $1,065 per patient monitored.2 These estimates do not take 

into account the expense of SpHb monitors or sensors, or the 

other costs associated with over transfusion or delayed care.

Risk and Cost of 
Undetected Bleeding

In addition to assisting with transfusion management, 

continuous SpHb can also help clinicians inside and outside  

the operating room monitor and detect internal bleeding. 

Bleeding affects up to 35% of patients in surgery, intensive 

care, and obstetric care areas.1 Bleeding is considered 

a significant risk factor for patients, and late detection 

further increases risk and cost.2 Surveys show that the 

majority of US hospitals have multiple patients per  

year with serious injury or death due to late detection  

of bleeding.3 

Post-partum Hemorrhage

Every 90 seconds around the world, a woman dies 

from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth.4 

For every woman who dies, 30 more suffer injuries or 

disabilities.5 Bleeding in obstetric patients, known 

as post-partum hemorrhage, affects 3% of mothers 

giving birth in the US.6 Worldwide, it is the #1 

cause of maternal mortality.7 The Joint Commission 

has issued a sentinel event alert on post-partum 

hemorrhage, calling on hospitals to develop specific 

protocols to systematically detect bleeding to 

allow earlier intervention.8 Unfortunately, previous 

efforts have failed to make significant progress.  

Limitations of Current Approaches  
to Detect Bleeding

A significant number of injuries or deaths due to 

bleeding are preventable. Prevention requires 

identifying that a patient has experienced 

significant bleeding and then intervening to 

stop the bleeding and improve the patient’s 

condition. Identifying bleeding is challenging 

because even during surgery and childbirth, 

clinical estimation of blood loss is inaccurate 

and changes in standard vital signs can 

occur long after the bleeding has begun. Low 

hemoglobin identifies bleeding over 90% of 

the time, but is only assessed intermittently 

and requires a blood draw and laboratory 

analysis.9 In some parts of the world, 

laboratory testing is simply not available.

“ Masimo SpHb helped prevent 
a potentially life-threatening 
event. I am now using it for all 
my major craniofacial procedures 
and can’t see doing a surgery 
without it.”

  Jeffrey Fearon, MD

craniofacial surgery in which SpHb signaled undetected 
bleeding through a dramatic drop in hemoglobin over a

Noninvasive and Continuous Hemoglobin  
Monitoring to Detect Bleeding

By measuring hemoglobin continuously, clinicians can become 

aware of real-time drops in hemoglobin that are indicative of 

bleeding. Identification of low or falling hemoglobin levels allows 

interventions that may prevent preventable death and disability.  

“  In cases of severe hemorrhaging during and after childbirth, 
SpHb has enabled us to immediately identify and continuously 
assess blood loss severity to better manage internal bleeding, 
prevent overloading of fluid, and decrease maternal death.”

Quick and Painless Hemoglobin Assessment

The Pronto-7® is designed specifically for noninvasive total hemoglobin (SpHb)  
spot-check testing, along with SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index.

A Revolutionary Device for a Variety of Clinical Settings

almost any environment, including  hospitals, clinics, blood 

Hemoglobin is one of the most commonly ordered tests in 

both hospital and non-hospital settings because it is critical 

to assessing anemia. However, traditional lab testing involves 

delayed results.

The Pronto-7 represents a breakthrough solution for measuring 

hemoglobin quickly in under a minute—without needles, 

time-consuming laboratory analysis, or the risk of blood 

contamination or hazardous medical waste. 

The palm-sized Pronto-7—approximately 5” x 3” x 1” and 

weighing just 11 ounces—puts the power of noninvasive 

hemoglobin spot-check testing into any clinician’s hands in 

donation centers,* and emergency medical services.

Operation is easy and intuitive with the Pronto-7’s touchscreen

interface. Embedded 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth capability  

enable wireless printing or emailing of test results, as well as 

transmission to EHR systems. In addition, new tests can be 

downloaded directly to the device via WiFi. 

The newest features are designed to improve calibration and 

motion support for measuring SpO2 and SpHb. New parameters 

include hematocrit (SpHct) and Pleth Variability Index (PVI).  

In addition, the new Active Pulse Sensor** generates a pulsatile 

signal for more robust measurements—especially in patients  

with low perfusion. 

The Active Pulse Sensor vibrates to 
induce a pulsatile signal for more 
robust measurements.**

* Use in blood donation settings is CE Marked. ** Pronto-7 with Active Pulse and other features are under development.

Assessing Fluid Responsiveness

Masimo continuous and noninvasive Pleth Variability 

Index (PVI) has been shown in multiple studies to 

help clinicians assess fluid responsiveness in adult 

and pediatric surgical and intensive care patients 

under mechanical ventilation.2-6 PVI has also been 

shown to help assess which patients will become 

hemodynamically unstable with the addition of 

Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP), which may 

allow clinicians to more carefully select ventilator 

settings and monitor effects more closely.7

“

With Masimo PVI, I
can predict when my patients 
will benefit from fluid 
administration—and when  
it might harm them.”

Aiding Clinicians in Reducing Patient Risk

A recent randomized controlled trial showed that compared to 

standard care without PVI, clinicians using PVI PEEP were able  

to improve fluid management and as a result, reduce patient risk—

as evidenced by lower lactate levels.8 By helping clinicians maintain 

appropriate fluid and oxygen levels in the blood, important organs 

may be protected.

At 24 h

At 48 h

This randomized study of 82 abdominal surgery patients found 

that PVI-based, goal-directed fluid management reduced the 

volume of intraoperative fluid infused and reduced intraoperative  
and postoperative lactate levels.8

Inclusion in Fluid Management Guidelines

The positive and expanding evidence for PVI has led to its 

inclusion in guidelines and best practices for fluid management. 

In 2012, the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS) 

included PVI in its Intra Operative Fluid Management Pack, 

which serves as a guide for hospitals implementing fluid 

responsiveness monitoring to improve patient outcomes.9 In 

2013, the French Society for Anaesthesia and Intensive Care 

(SFAR) added PVI to its guidelines for optimal hemodynamic 

management of surgical patients.10

The other dynamic monitoring technologies that have been 

shown to help clinicians assess fluid responsiveness and 

improve fluid management are invasive, complex, and/or costly. In 

contrast, PVI is noninvasive, easy to use, and has no incremental 

procedural cost because pulse oximetry monitoring is already 

performed on all surgical and intensive care patients. PVI 

monitoring should be considered in all mechanically ventilated 

patients in which an invasive arterial line or more complex or 

costly monitoring technologies may not be justified.

Signal Extraction Technology®: 
Where “Solving the  
Unsolvable” Started

Twenty-four years ago, two young engineers asked 
themselves why pulse oximetry wouldn’t work during 
patient motion and low perfusion—and by doing  
so, set a new course that created a revolution in 
patient monitoring.

Overcoming the Limitations of Conventional Pulse Oximetry

Since its inception, pulse oximetry was plagued by unreliability when 

it was needed most—during patient motion and low perfusion. The 

industry had given up and considered the problem “unsolvable.” 

Clinicians were forced to live with the results —excessive false alarms, 

delayed notification due to long averaging times, inaccurate data, and  

an inability to obtain data on the most critical patients. 

Conventional pulse oximetry works under the assumption that by 

looking at only the pulse and normalizing the pulsating signal over 

the non-pulsating signal, oxygen saturation (SpO2) can be measured 

without calibration. Although this was a big step forward in the 

evolution of pulse oximetry, it has one major flaw—it assumes 

the only pulsating component is arterial blood. Unfortunately for 

conventional pulse oximetry, venous blood moves every time  

the patient moves or breathes. This causes conventional pulse 

oximeters to display false low or high SpO2 and pulse rates— 

resulting in false alarms as high as 90% in ICUs and recovery rooms.

Validated by Independent and Objective Research

To date, more than 100 independent and objective studies have 

shown that Masimo SET® outperforms all other pulse oximetry 

technologies, providing clinicians with unmatched sensitivity 

and specificity to make critical patient care decisions.

Conventional pulse oximetry uses the standard red over infrared

venous noise SpO2s (left peak shown in blue) from the true 
arterial SpO2 components (right peak shown in red) in the

value, since the physiologically higher SpO2 value within the

Helping Improve Outcomes on the General  
Floor with Masimo Patient SafetyNet™

In August 2012, The Joint Commission Sentinel Event Alert on the safe use of opioids in 
hospitals recommended implementation of better dosing along with continuous oxygenation 
and ventilation monitoring (instead of spot checks) in post-surgical patients.1 Patient 
SafetyNet™*—combined with Masimo SET® pulse oximetry and rainbow Acoustic Monitoring™

Halo Index™* Enables Assessment of Patient Status

Halo Index is a new indicator for cumulative trending 

assessment of the global patient status. Physiologic 

deterioration often occurs long before a patient crisis and 

manifests through subtle and often undetected changes in 

multiple physiologic parameters. Masimo designed Halo Index 

to mimic the systematic approach that expert clinicians use 

in assessing patient physiologic deterioration—analyzing 

the patient history and extracting key vital sign parameter 

characteristics to assess global patient status. Halo Index 

currently uses available Masimo parameters but is scalable 

repository. Each parameter’s significance is weighted and 

combined into the Halo Index, a single displayed number with 

a range from 0 to 100 that provides a cumulative trending 

assessment of global patient status. Increases in Halo Index 

suggest physiologic deterioration and may indicate a need for 

clinicians to more closely assess the patient.

Clinician-centric Monitoring with MyView™

Empowering Clinicians to See What They Want, When They Want to See It.

MyView in Patient SafetyNet automatically senses when the physician 
approaches and highlights his or her patients for easy viewing.

The level of information required can change dramatically by 

clinician and care area, but medical devices historically function 

in a static manner with the same parameters, waveforms, and 

trends displayed the same way. While Masimo measurements 

and display flexibility continue to expand, this doesn’t mean 

that all clinicians need to see all of the information in the 

same way. MyView* technology—featured in Masimo Patient 

SafetyNet—is being expanded to allow wireless sensing of 

the device, clinician, patient, and care area to provide the 

parameters, waveforms, and trends that clinicians want to see 

and what their patients and family see. While a physician may 

want to see all parameters and waveforms, a medical assistant 

may only want to see Halo Index* or a few parameters and 

no waveforms. If no clinician is in the room, the patient and 

family may be best served with no specific device information, 

but rather a visual indicator with a green, yellow, or red color 

indicating device alarm status.

* CE Marked.

** This feature is under development.

When the clinician  
re-enters the room,  
MyView recognizes the 
clinician and displays the 
measurements that interest 
the particular clinician.**

When no clinicians are in 
the room, the clinician may 
select a device display that 
is entirely green, yellow, 
or red—depending on the 
alarm status. This eliminates 
a common distraction for 
the patient and family while 
limiting unnecessary concerns  
or questions for caregivers.

With the use of a presence  
tag, upon approach, the 
information displayed on  
Root will change based on 
clinician-set preferences.

Clinician-centric view with the use of 
a presence tag or smart phone allows 
caregivers to see the customized 
information most important to them

Helping Protect Patients from Hidden Dangers with SpMet®

Monitoring for unintended consequences of drugs commonly 
given in hospitals and during certain procedures.

Addressing the Risk of Dangerous Drug Reactions

Many drugs commonly used in hospitals—such as lidocaine, 

benzocaine, dapsone, and nitrates—cause a dangerous 

reaction known as acquired methemoglobinemia that 

reduces the delivery of oxygen to the tissues. While 

methemoglobinemia can occur in all care areas and patients,  

it is often unrecognized and undiagnosed. If not detected and 

treated immediately, it can result in avoidable injury or death.

Medications Known to Cause Methemoglobinemia: Benzocaine, 

Cetacaine, Chloroquine, Dapsone, EMLA topical, Flutamide, Lidocaine, 

Metoclopramide, Nitrates, Nitric oxide, Nitroglycerin, Nitroprusside, 

Nitrous oxide, Phenazopyridine (Pyridium), Prilocaine, Primaquine, 

Riluzole, Silver nitrate, Sodium nitrate, Sulfonamides.

“  Acquired methemoglobinemia is 
fairly common and causes morbidity 
and mortality in both the inpatient 
and outpatient settings. Acquired 
methemoglobinemia is often 
unrecognized and thus untreated.”

  Rachel Ash-Bernal, MD
  and other researchers at Johns-Hopkins Hospital 

Baltimore, MD

Enabling Quick Treatment with SpMet

Masimo noninvasive methemoglobin (SpMet) helps clinicians 

assess for methemoglobinemia, facilitating earlier detection 

and immediate treatment to reduce patient risk—especially  

in care areas where drugs that cause methemoglobinemia are 

used most often, such as procedure labs and the operating 

room. This enables them to quickly adjust exposure to the 

dangerous drug and initiate potentially life-saving treatment.

Helping Detect Carbon Monoxide 
Poisoning with SpCO®

A Deadly Poison Revealed with SpCO

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is the most common cause of poisoning  

in industrialized countries, but is often misdiagnosed because its 

symptoms are similar to the flu, and moderate poisoning is possible with 

no symptoms at all. Our first rainbow® measurement was noninvasive 

carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), helping clinicians assess CO levels in the  

blood, facilitating earlier detection and treatment of CO poisoning. 

A recent study examined data from the Undersea Hyperbaric Medicine 

Society’s CO poisoning surveillance system (supported by the Centers  

for Disease Control) and found that patients who were initially measured 

using Pulse CO-Oximetry had an almost one-hour reduction in time from 

the end of CO exposure to treatment.1

Saving Lives Every Day 

In emergency medical services, SpCO is helping protect both victims 

and first responders from the dangers of CO poisoning. SpCO helps 

paramedics and emergency medical technicians to detect CO 

poisoning—enabling prompt treatment and removal of those exposed  

to deadly CO in homes, hotels, and places of work.

SpCO is also helping firefighters reduce the risk of CO poisoning that 

they face every day. Just one severe CO poisoning nearly doubles 

the risk of premature death, and consistent CO exposure may cause 

long-term heart and brain damage.2,3 When even mild levels of CO 

are circulating in the blood, the heart and brain are robbed of critical 

oxygen. This can cause mental confusion that leads to poor decision 

making and also increases the risk of heart disease or stroke—two 

conditions already accounting for nearly 50% of on-duty firefighter 

deaths.4 These factors are why industry-leading organizations 

have lined up to support CO education, and the National Fire 

Protection Association (NFPA) introduced a new fire rehabilitation 

standard—NFPA 1584—that supports on-scene CO assessment  

of firefighters.

Immediate Capnography at Your Fingertips

EMMA™ (Emergency Mainstream Analyzer)

Capnographs measure carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in 

expired gases. They are used during anesthesia, emergency 

care, and intensive care—where capnography is often used as 

a substitute for blood gas measurement or to monitor the 

performance of assisted ventilation. EMMA is a compact, 

portable, lightweight mainstream capnograph that requires 

virtually no warm-up time with full accuracy in 15 seconds. 

The continuous capnogram allows for confirmation and 

continuous monitoring of endotracheal tube placement, 

enables clinicians to assess the depth and effectiveness 

of compressions, and allows clinicians to recognize return of 

spontaneous circulation (ROSC).1 Its primary use is short-term 

monitoring of end-tidal CO2 and respiration rate in adults, 

pediatric, and infant patients. 

“ Monitoring respiratory rate and end-tidal 
carbon dioxide in the positive-pressure 
ventilated patient represents the greatest 
opportunity to avoid harm and improve 
clinical outcomes in all of resuscitation.”

Expanding Impact Outside  
of the Hospital

Industry-leading Masimo SET® is increasingly  
being used to enhance the quality of patient  
care outside of the hospital.

A New Level of Care in the Home 

For pediatric patients requiring continuous monitoring at home,  

Masimo SET® offers the best pulse oximetry monitoring for parents 

caring for special needs children—dramatically reducing false 

alarms during motion and low perfusion that can complicate an 

already difficult situation.

Adding a Safety Net in Post-acute Care 

As hospital costs rise, more patients are receiving care in long-

term acute care and skilled nursing facilities. A major challenge 

in these facilities is weaning patients off ventilator care, which 

can put patients at increased risk of adverse events. Post-acute 

care facilities integrating Masimo SET® bedside pulse oximeters 

and Patient SafetyNet remote monitoring and notification 

systems have experienced considerable reduction in rapid 

response activations as well as emergency “transfer outs.”

Reliable Sleep Lab Monitoring

During sleep lab monitoring, conventional pulse oximetry fails 

to provide the fidelity and accuracy required to help clinicians 

detect clinically relevant physiologic events. Masimo SET® 

technology is integrated in leading sleep lab monitoring 

systems, enabling clinicians and patients to benefit from its 

unmatched reliability in this challenging environment.

“

The sensitivity and motion artifact 
rejection characteristics of the  
non-Masimo SET® pulse oximeters

The Future of Healthcare Is at Hand

We are witnessing an exciting convergence of 
medical device and mobile device technology that 
promises to transform healthcare positively. 

Our iSpO2™ device is the world’s first pulse oximeter for iOS and 

Android mobile platforms. 

iSpO2 combines a Masimo “board-in-cable”, reusable or 

disposable sensor, and an application running on a smart 

phone or tablet device. It features Masimo’s proven Measure-

through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry—SpO2, 

pulse rate, and perfusion index. Masimo iSpO2 also allows 

both consumers* and healthcare providers** to trend 

measurements and email trend data.

Advancing Pulse Oximetry

Masimo’s newest innovations demonstrate that 
our commitment to pulse oximetry technology 
has never been stronger.

First Ever Noninvasive Fractional SpO2 Measurement 

Until now, pulse oximeters could only measure and display 

functional oxygen saturation (SpO2). So, when patients had 

elevated carboxyhemoglobin (from carbon monoxide poisoning) 

and/or elevated methemoglobin (negative reaction to more 

than 30 common drugs used in hospitals, like caines, nitrates, 

and Dapsone), the displayed functional oxygen saturation 

overestimated the actual oxygen saturation value.

In 2012, we introduced SpfO2™*—the first truly fractional, 

noninvasive oxygen saturation monitor—along with the 

rainbow® SuperSensor™* which allows for simultaneous 

measurement of SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, and SpHb. The 

new SpfO2 measurement allows more precise arterial 

oxygenation assessment in patients with elevated 

dyshemoglobins—common throughout the hospital 

and pre-hospital settings—as compared to functional 

oxygen saturation (SpO2). As a result, SpfO2 should 

enable earlier interventions and more timely therapeutic 

decisions. For example, in a patient who is a smoker with 

an SpO2 of 97%, carboxyhemoglobin level of 12%, and 

methemoglobin of 1%, if SpfO2 were available, it would be 

displayed at 84%. It is well accepted that clinicians would 

frequently make different diagnostic and therapeutic 

decisions at an oxygenation of 84% versus 97%. 

The rainbow® SuperSensor also elevates the utility 

of noninvasive and continuous oxygen content 

(SpOC™) monitoring. Since we introduced rainbow® 

Pulse CO-Oximetry, clinicians have been leveraging 

noninvasive and continuous hemoglobin (SpHb) and 

functional oxygen saturation (SpO2) for real-time 

oxygen content monitoring (SpOC). Now, with the 

advent of fractional, noninvasive oxygen saturation 

(SpfO2), SpOC becomes an even more accurate 

indicator of patient oxygenation—especially in 

rapidly changing clinical situations. 

* CE Marked. 

The new SpfO2 measurement 
allows more precise arterial 
oxygenation assessment 
in patients with elevated 
dyshemoglobins, as 
compared to functional 
oxygen saturation (SpO2).

Utilizing more than seven wavelengths of light and breakthrough signal processing, Masimo rainbow® Pulse 
CO-Oximeters can measure and display oxygen content (SpOC), along with its components, hemoglobin and 
fractional arterial oxygen saturation (SpfO2).

Addressing the Number One Technology 
Hazard in Hospitals Today—Alarms

Providing Earlier Notification of  
Potential Risk with Advanced Alarms

Core Technology Advantages

The Joint Commission, the ECRI Institute, the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation 

and numerous other leading industry bodies have repeatedly cited alarm fatigue among 

the most pressing patient safety hazards.1-3 Conventional approaches to alarm 

management were developed mainly to address the problems of conventional 

pulse oximetry’s inability to measure through motion. Fixed alarm thresholds 

and delays sometimes reduce non-actionable alarms, but with potentially delayed 

notification of significant events. Masimo SET® broke through past barriers and 

reduced false alarms by over 95%. In an area like the ICU where up to 90% of all alarms 

used to be false, Masimo has helped reduce the false alarm incidence to just 5%.4 

Automated, Patient-centric Approach with Adaptive Threshold Alarm™*

With false alarm problems largely solved with Masimo SET®, Masimo’s Adaptive 

Threshold Alarm was designed to help clinicians manage the frequency of alarms, 

improving on the limited alarm paradigms of the past to notify clinicians when 

significant changes in physiology have occurred. Adaptive Threshold Alarm helps 

clinicians reduce alarms and reduces the time required to set patient-specific alarms  

by automatically adjusting the audible alarm to the patient’s baseline (Figure 1).

X-Cal™ Technology for Enhanced Patient Safety 
and Improved Clinician Efficiency

Masimo has implemented a new technology called X-Cal in 

its sensors, cables, and monitors to enhance patient safety 

and improve clinician efficiency. All Masimo components 

work together as an integrated system to measure through 

challenging conditions including motion and low perfusion. 

When all components are fully functioning, the system works  

as intended. In contrast, when any of these system components  

is compromised, erroneous measurements can occur.

X-Cal is designed to address three common factors that can 

impact measurement accuracy and patient safety due to 

reliability risks associated with:

1)  Imitation Masimo sensors and cables

2)  Cables and sensors used far beyond their expected life

3)  Third-party reprocessed pulse oximetry sensors

X-Cal Components

Masimo SET® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion 

pulse oximetry has three system components:

1)  The sensor that connects to the patient

Poor Quality and Performance of Imitation  
Masimo Sensors and Cables

Multiple third-party manufacturers have attempted to copy 

or imitate Masimo sensors and cables. Imitation cables  

and sensors (also known as “knockoffs”, “copy-cat”, “pirated” 

products, etc.) use components without the same design, 

manufacturing process, or quality controls as Masimo 

and as such, do not meet Masimo quality or performance 

specifications. This becomes particularly problematic in 

challenging conditions. With X-cal, when an imitation sensor 

or cable connects to an X-Cal enabled monitor, a message is 

displayed to replace the sensor or cable.

Reliability Risks Associated with Cables and Sensors 
When Used Beyond Their Expected Life

Eventually, all cables and sensors wear out and fail, and it is 

widely accepted that the longer any brand of cable or sensor 

is in service, the more likely that it will reach that point of 

failure. Masimo is aware of situations in which the monitor 

has displayed false saturation values because of cable or 

sensor malfunction or failure. Often, hospital personnel are 

not aware of the age of a particular cable and the failure is

these situations and as a matter of policy, some hospitals 

replace their cables before their expected life is exhausted.

It is also important to note that as cables and sensors 

become worn, they may also cause intermittent problems 

with measurement accuracy which lead to false alarms or

mask true alarming events such as hypoxemia. Damaged 

components that lead to intermittent performance issues  

can cause care inefficiencies and frustration such as repeated 

returns of the patient cable with intermittent faults to 

Biomedical Engineering, or repeated, inconclusive biomedical 

testing and investigation. 

X-Cal provides an automatic method to detect when cables 

and sensors have been used far beyond their expected life, 

allowing the aging inventory to be replaced. With X-Cal, 

biomedical engineers are expected to spend less time 

troubleshooting faulty/nuisance alarms and even less time 

investigating, testing, and replacing faulty patient cables.

Poor Quality and Performance of Third-Party 
Reprocessed Pulse Oximetry Sensors

Customers often assume third-party reprocessed sensors 

function to the same specification as Masimo sensors. This  

is not the case. Masimo testing of third-party reprocessed 

sensors identified a variety of performance issues including 

biological debris, functional defects, risk of component failure,  

and adhesive properties that are likely to cause discomfort  

with infants and neonates.

Third-party reprocessing alters single-patient-use sensors from 

their original form and function, which may have an adverse 

effect on the consistency and accuracy of oxygen saturation and 

pulse rate measurements. Because third party reprocessors do 

not understand the intricacies of Masimo products, they do not 

have controls to evaluate the extent of sensor use or condition 

of components prior to reprocessing previously used sensors. 

Consequently, third-party reprocessed sensors often have 

damage to both optical and electrical components.

X-Cal does not prevent the use of reprocessed sensors but  

does provide an automatic method to detect when reprocessed 

sensors have been used far beyond their expected life.

Poor Performance of Third-party Reprocessed Sensors

How X-Cal Works

X-Cal is seamlessly integrated into Masimo sensors, cables 

and circuit boards and is provided at no additional cost 

to end users. X-Cal can detect imitation cables and 

sensors and measures the active patient monitoring 

time of each cable and sensor. Monitors equipped with 

X-Cal enabled circuit boards will not function with 

imitation cables and sensors and will display a message 

to replace cables and sensors that have been used 

beyond their useful life.

Furthermore, the indication to change a sensor or 

cable only occurs outside of active patient monitoring 

to avoid disruption to clinical practice. For example, if 

the end of a single-patient-use sensor’s expected life 

is reached while actively monitoring a patient, the 

sensor will continue to operate until monitoring with 

that sensor is stopped. At the next reapplication of 

the same sensor, the monitor will display a message 

to advise the clinician to replace the sensor.

and the per-sensor price, but third-party reprocessed sensors  

do not offer the same performance or quality as new sensors  

and are labor-intensive. In addition, reprocessing itself 

requires additional manufacturing and transportation,  

which negatively impacts the environment. Reusable sensors 

may offer low environmental impact, but do not offer the same
