Solving Motion 
Artifact with SET®: 
The Movement that Rippled Through 
Healthcare, Helping Clinicians Save Babies’ 
Eyesight, Save Lives, and Reduce Hospital and 
Payer Costs, While Challenging an Industry

Solving the 
“Unsolvable” with SET

Our first breakthrough, Signal Extraction Technology®, was invented to overcome the limitations of 

conventional pulse oximetry, which is unreliable when patients are moving or poorly perfused.

Pulse oximetry is an important patient monitoring 
tool. However, conventional pulse oximeters made 
it difficult to determine the true arterial blood signal 
during patient motion because moving venous 
blood appears to pulsate like arterial blood.1

Masimo SET® works by recognizing that both 
arterial and venous blood can move, using parallel 
signal processing engines—DST®, FST®, SST™, and 
MST™—to separate the true arterial signal from 

sources of noise, including the venous signal.2 
By measuring through patient motion and low 
perfusion, Masimo SET® has helped pulse oximetry 
become a clinically reliable tool in operating 
rooms, intensive care units, general wards, and 
other healthcare settings all over the world.3

Conventional pulse oximetry uses the 

standard red over infrared algorithm 
to provide SpO2, while Masimo SET® 

includes four additional algorithms, 

running in parallel. These algorithms 

distinguish between arterial signal and 

venous noise during motion and low 

perfusion by identifying and isolating 

the non-arterial and venous noise SpO2 

(left peak, shown in blue) from the true 

arterial SpO2 components (right peak, 

shown in red) in the signal.

Advancing 
Patient Safety

Before Masimo SET®, approximately 70%-90% 
of alarms that occurred outside the OR were 
false alarms.1,2,3 In a study of twenty-thousand 
surgical patients, not only did pulse oximeters 
fail to monitor 7% of the time on ASA IV patients 
in the OR, but the study showed no evidence to 
indicate a reduction in the overall rate of post-
operative complications using pulse oximetry. 
After the introduction of Masimo SET®, false 
alarms dropped by over 90% and true alarm 
detection increased to 97% during motion and 
low perfusion.4 Significantly, outcome studies 
have shown that Masimo SET®, in conjunction 
with clinician assessment, helps clinicians reduce 
severe retinopathy of prematurity in neonates5 
and improve CCHD screening in newborns.6

Validated by Independent and 
Objective Research
Over 100 independent and objective studies7 have 
shown that Masimo SET® outperforms other pulse 
oximetry technologies, providing clinicians with 
the sensitivity and specificity required to make 
critical patient care decisions.

A total of 70 volunteers were tested using a 
motorized table that produced different hand 
motions. Each motion was studied during 
both room air breathing and hypoxemia. Pulse 
oximeters on the stationary hand were used to 
provide control measurements for comparison. 
Sensitivity was defined as the ability to detect a 
true SpO2 value <90%. Specificity was defined 
as the ability to detect a true SpO2 value >90%.8

False Alarm Reduction

True Alarm Detection

In this study, investigators measured SpO2 in 10 subjects during motion and low perfusion conditions and calculated the false alarm 
rate during 120 full oxygenation events (specificity) and true alarm rate during 40 de-oxygenated events (sensitivity). Results shown 
are calculated by combining sensitivity and specificity outcomes of machine-generated and volunteer-generated motion.9

Clinicians all around the world count on 
Masimo SET® to help them care for patients. 
With significantly fewer false alarms, clinicians 
can focus on the patient, not the monitor.

With more accurate measurements, clinicians 
can more tightly control oxygenation levels.1 
And with timely detection of true events,

Advancing 
Newborn Care

Masimo offers a unique portfolio of core technologies and specialty sensors that enable clinicians 

to care for newborns requiring resuscitation, cyanotic infants requiring accurate saturation 

measurements, and premature infants at risk for retinopathy of prematurity.

Newborn Resuscitation
Every second matters during newborn resuscitation. 
The Masimo Newborn Sensor together with Masimo 
SET® technology ensures the fastest response time 
with maximum sensitivity—allowing clinicians to 
focus on the patient, not the device.

Better Care for Cyanotic Patients
In a clinical study on cyanotic infants, Masimo SET® 
pulse oximetry with the Blue® sensor has been 
shown to enable accurate maintenance of targeted 
oxygen saturation levels.1 Researchers have 
demonstrated improved accuracy at saturations

75-85% in cyanotic infants and children with the 
Blue sensor versus the Nellcor and standard 
Masimo sensors.3 Additionally, researchers 
have found that, following cardiac surgery, the 
combination of Masimo SET® and the Blue sensor 
provided more accurate and reliable information 
compared to old generation pulse oximeters.4 

Retinopathy of Prematurity
Premature infants requiring neonatal intensive 
care need enough oxygen to preserve vital organ 
function. However, too much oxygen can cause 
severe eye damage from retinopathy of prematurity 
(ROP). With changes in clinical practice and the 

addition of Masimo SET® pulse oximetry, clinicians 
have shown a reduction in ROP.5

In another study, following the implementation of 
Masimo SET® with a new protocol in a single tertiary 
neonatal center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center 
(CSMC), the incidence in severe ROP decreased 
over a five year period from 12.5% to 2.5% in very 
low birth weight infants. The changes are compared 
to the data reported by the Vermont Oxford 
Network (VON), a nonprofit voluntary collaboration 
of >400 NICUs that maintains a database including 
>25,000 infants.6

In period one, the baseline rate for severe ROP in two centers, both using Nellcor pulse oximetry, was established. In period two, 
new practice guidelines were implemented at both centers, however, only Center B switched to Masimo SET®, which led to a significant 
reduction in ROP (from 12% to 5%). In period three, Center A also switched to Masimo SET® and experienced a reduction in ROP from

Improving Screening for 
Critical Congenital Heart Disease

In the United States, CCHD screening with motion-tolerant pulse oximetry has been added to 

the Department of Health and Human Services’ Recommended Uniform Screening Panel and is 

further advocated by several healthcare authorities. With the proven measure through motion 
low perfusion performance of Masimo SET® as an effective CCHD screening tool, we look 

forward to helping more clinicians care for newborns as awareness in CCHD screening spreads 

to other parts of the world.

According to the National Institutes of Health 
(NIH), “Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) is a 
term that refers to a group of serious heart defects 
that are present from birth. These abnormalities 
result from problems with the formation of one 
or more parts of the heart during the early stages 
of embryonic development. CCHD prevents the 

heart from pumping blood effectively or reduces 
the amount of oxygen in the blood. As a result, 
organs and tissues throughout the body do not 
receive enough oxygen, which can lead to organ 
damage and life-threatening complications.”2 While 
congenital heart disease affects approximately 
eight per 1,000 newborns, critical congenital heart

SpO2 screening was conducted on 39,821 newborn babies, preductally (palm of right hand) and postductally (either foot) before 
routine physical examination. The baby was considered to be screening positive if: 1) Either preductal or postductal SpO2 
measurement was <90%; 2) If in three repeat measurements, both preductal and postductal SpO2 were <95%, or the difference 
between the two measurements was >3%.1

disease has an incidence of approximately 2.5 to 3 
per 1,000 live births.3 CCHD requires intervention 
soon after birth to prevent significant morbidity 
or mortality. Some babies with CCHD can appear 
healthy at first and may be discharged from the 
hospital before their heart defect is detected, which 
may lead to cardiogenic shock or death. Later 
detection of CCHD in infants also increases the risk 
of brain damage.4

Screening for CCHD with Masimo SET®
In one of the earlier CCHD detection studies with 
pulse oximetry, Masimo SET® and a conventional 
pulse oximeter were used, but due to a lack of 
measurements and a high false positive rate the 
conventional pulse oximeter was abandoned by 
researchers mid-study.

In a study of 39,821 infants, researchers observed 
an increase in CCHD detection from 63% with 

physical exam alone to 83% with physical exam and 
the utilization of Masimo SET® pulse oximetry.1

Similarly, in the largest CCHD screening study 
to date—including over 122,738 subjects—the 
combined use of Masimo SET® pulse oximetry and 
clinical assessment increased screening sensitivity 
from 77% to 93%.6

Masimo SET® pulse oximeters and sensors were 
exclusively used in the two studies1,6,7 (59,876 
subjects) that were the basis for the CCHD 
workgroup recommendation for CCHD screening 
protocols.8 Furthermore, investigators observed 
that the incorporation of cut-off values for perfusion 
index with routine pulse oximetry may further 
increase sensitivity in CCHD screening in infants 
with pathologically low (<0.70) perfusion.9

Eve™* is an intuitive application that transforms Radical-7® into 
a simple yet powerful screening tool that allows clinicians to 
quickly and reliably screen newborn babies for CCHD

Extending Noninvasive Blood Oxygen 
Monitoring to Moderate Hyperoxia with ORi™
With the creation of rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry 
in 2005, we were able to leverage more light 
wavelengths to noninvasively measure additional 
blood constituents that previously required 
invasive techniques. For example, prior to the 
introduction of Masimo Oxygen Reserve Index™ 
(ORi), there was not a noninvasive method of 
assessing moderate hyperoxia. When a patient is 
on supplemental oxygen, SpO2 provides a late 
indication of oxygenation level. Between invasive 
samplings, changes in the partial pressure of 
oxygen (PaO2) can often go unnoticed, leading 
to unexpected hypoxia or unintended hyperoxia. 
By providing insight into a patient’s oxygen 
status in the moderate hyperoxic range of 100 to 
200 mmHg, ORi represents a fundamental step 
forward in the visibility of a physiologic trait that 
was until now difficult to measure.

Masimo SpfO2™ Fractional 
Measurement with rainbow®
Masimo SpfO2* is the first truly fractional 
noninvasive oxygen saturation measurement, 
and is made possible, like ORi, through the 
use of rainbow® technology. SpfO2 allows truer 
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 may enable earlier interventions and more 
timely therapeutic decisions.

Enhancing Comfort and Simplifying 
Use with RD SET™ Sensors
As part of our commitment to improving the core 
Masimo SET® pulse oximetry experience, in 2016 
we introduced the RD SET™ sensor system. In 
addition to other benefits, RD SET™ sensors feature 
small, thin optical components that lie comfortably 
on and better conform to the patient’s hand or foot. 
Significantly, RD SET sensors have higher accuracy 
than previous-generation sensors. RD rainbow SET 
and RD rainbow Lite SET™ sensors will make similar 
benefits available to rainbow® Pulse 
CO-Oximetry monitoring.

Enhancing Patient Safety with X-Cal™
Imitation cables and sensors using components 
and manufacturing processes that do not meet 
Masimo quality and performance specifications—
specifications required to provide consistently 
high SET® and rainbow® performance during 

challenging monitoring conditions—can lead to 
measurement inaccuracy and patient safety risks. 
To overcome this, we developed X-Cal technology, 
which enhances clinical performance, patient 
safety, and clinician efficiency by allowing the 
sensor, patient cable, and Masimo technology 
board, installed in a host multi-parameter patient 
monitor or Masimo pulse oximeter, to operate as 
an integrated system. X-Cal alerts users when an 
imitation or defective cable or sensor, or a sensor 
or cable that has been used beyond its expected 
life, needs to be replaced.

TFA-1™ Disposable Forehead Sensor
Masimo now offers the TFA-1 transflectance 
forehead adhesive sensor as an alternative to 
traditional digit sensors. The forehead provides 
rapid detection of saturation changes compared to 
digit sites during low perfusion and also offers easy 
access during surgery, resuscitation, and in patients 
with finger deformities or inaccessible digits.

ORi™: First Noninvasive and 
Continuous Parameter to 
Provide Early Indication 
of Impending Hypoxia

Pulse oximetry provides noninvasive and 
continuous visibility to arterial blood oxygenation 
in hypoxia (less than normal oxygenation) 
and normoxia (normal oxygenation). During 
supplemental oxygen administration, clinicians 
often use the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), 
which is invasive and intermittent, to monitor levels 
of hyperoxia (higher than normal oxygenation). 
Between invasive samplings, changes in PaO2 can 
go unnoticed and lead to unexpected hypoxia or 
unintended hyperoxia.

Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi)* is a relative indicator of 
the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) 
in the range of 100 to 200 mmHg. ORi is intended 
to supplement, not replace, SpO2 monitoring and 
PaO2 measurements. As an “index” parameter with 
a unit-less scale between 0.00 and 1.00, ORi can be 
trended and has optional alarms to notify clinicians 
of changes in a patient’s oxygen reserve.

In patients receiving supplemental oxygen, 
such as those in surgery, under conscious 
sedation, or in the intensive care unit, ORi 
may provide an advance warning of an 
impending hypoxic event. In addition, ORi 

may provide an indication of a hyperoxic 
state. In this way, ORi may enable proactive 
interventions during preoxygenation 
before intubating and extubating to avoid 
hypoxia and unintended hyperoxia.

Clinical Evidence for 
the Utility of Masimo ORi

In a prospective study published in Anesthesiology, 
Dr. Peter Szmuk and colleagues concluded that 
ORi could provide clinicians with a median of 
31.5 seconds advanced warning of impending 
desaturation in pediatric patients with induced 
apnea after pre-oxygenation.

The investigators enrolled 33 patients in this study. 
Eight of these resumed spontaneous ventilation 

during the study period, leaving 25 apneic 
patients to evaluate, with an average age of 7.6 
years. Data were recorded continuously with a 
Masimo Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter®. ORi was 
retrospectively calculated and was not visible to 
investigators. The amount of early warning time, per 
patient, observed by the researchers is summarized 
in the following histogram.

Early Warning Time Distribution (Seconds)

“In this pilot study, we found that during 
prolonged apnea in healthy anesthetized 
children, the ORi detected impending 
desaturation in median of 31.5 seconds 
(IQR, 19 to 34.3 seconds) before noticeable 
changes in SpO2 occurred. Knowing even 
roughly how much time remains before the 
rapid desaturation phase begins seems 
likely to guide proper decisions.”

dark pigmented skin in induced hypoxia studies in the range of 70% to 100% SpO2 against a laboratory co-oximeter. 2 ARMS accuracy is a statistical 
calculation of the difference between device measurements and reference measurements. Approximately two-thirds of the device measurements 
fell within +/- ARMS of the reference measurements in a controlled study. * Waste calculated by comparing the sensor and packaging weight of

X-Cal™ for Enhanced 
Patient Safety

A Systems Approach to Safety
X-Cal technology is designed to enhance 
clinical performance, patient safety, and 
clinician efficiency by allowing the sensor, 
patient cable, and Masimo technology board, 
installed in a host multi-parameter patient 
monitor or Masimo pulse oximeter, to operate 
as an integrated system.

When all three components are genuine and 
within their useful life, the system works as 
intended. However, when any one component 
is compromised, erroneous measurements 
may occur which can impact patient safety.

How X-Cal Works
This system design helps prevent the 
measurement inaccuracy and patient safety 
risks that may be caused by violations of the 
above principles, such as imitation cables and 
sensors using components and manufacturing 
processes that do not meet Masimo quality 

and performance specifications—specifications 
required to provide consistent high 
performance during challenging monitoring 
conditions. When an unreliable or imitation 
sensor or cable is connected to an X-Cal-
enabled monitor, a message alerts the user 
that the cable or sensor should be replaced.

To address the reliability risks associated with 
failures that can occur in cables and sensors used 
beyond their expected lives, X-Cal technology 
automatically tracks the aggregate time that 
individual cables and sensors are used for 
active patient monitoring. X-Cal detects when a 
specific cable or sensor has been used beyond 
its expected life and notifies the user, reducing 
the likelihood of a sensor failure that could affect 
patient safety. X-Cal also includes Site ID, which 
encodes the sensor with a unique identifier 
upon use. Site ID is designed to help ensure that 
reprocessed sensors are sourced from hospitals’ 
own supply of genuine Masimo sensors.

Building Momentum with 
rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry

After solving the “unsolvable” problems of motion and low perfusion in pulse oximetry, 

we set our sights even higher.

By leveraging more wavelengths of light, 
we created rainbow® technology—a suite 
of noninvasive measurements for total 
hemoglobin, dyshemoglobins, and other 
physiologic parameters that previously could 
only be measured invasively. Our rainbow® 
technologies now help clinicians keep critical 
care patients safe; help nurses monitor 

postoperative patients’ respiration rates; help 
EMS first responders care for accident victims; 
and help doctors screen for anemia.

rainbow® uses more than seven wavelengths 
of light to acquire blood constituent data 
based on light absorption. Advanced signal 
processing algorithms and unique adaptive 
filters work together to isolate, identify, 
and quantify various types of hemoglobin. 
Measurement results are then displayed 
numerically and graphically as a trend line 
on select instruments.

Real-time Visibility of 
Hemoglobin Status Between 
Invasive Blood Samples

Limitations of Traditional Blood Sampling Methods

•  Without SpHb, clinicians are only limited to invasive blood 

samples, which provide intermittent and delayed laboratory 
hemoglobin results

Helping Clinicians Make More Informed And Timely Transfusion Decisions

Continuous hemoglobin monitoring provides real-time visibility to changes—or lack of changes— 
in hemoglobin between invasive blood samples.

SpHb trend monitoring may provide additional insight between invasive blood samples when:

•  The SpHb trend is stable and the clinician may otherwise think hemoglobin is dropping

•  The SpHb trend is rising and the clinician may otherwise think hemoglobin is not rising

•  The SpHb trend is dropping and the clinician may otherwise think hemoglobin is stable

Accuracy of Masimo SpHb 
Compared to Common 
Invasive Methodologies

While hemoglobin is one of the most common laboratory tests performed, most 

clinicians are unaware of the variation that should be expected when comparing 

hemoglobin measurements—from various devices. This is because clinicians do not 

typically measure hemoglobin more than once in the same patient at the same time. 

Variation is caused by physiology, blood sampling technique, device methodology, 
and individual device calibration.1

The results of a study conducted in a surgical 
intensive care unit illustrate the variation 
that can be expected between hemoglobin 
devices. A total of 471 hemoglobin 
measurements were evaluated from 62 
patients. Noninvasive and continuous 
hemoglobin (SpHb), a satellite laboratory 
CO-Oximeter (Siemens RapidPoint 405), and 
a point-of-care device (HemoCue 301) were 
all compared to reference hemoglobin from 
the central laboratory hematology analyzer 
(Sysmex XT2000i).

In this study, the absolute accuracy and 
trending accuracy of SpHb was similar to the 
two widely used invasive methods2 when all 
three methods were compared to the central 
laboratory hemoglobin analyzer, both in 
single-measurement comparisons as well as 
trended-measurement comparisons. Some 
independent researchers have conducted their 
own testing and obtained similar results to 
the presented cases, while other researchers 
have reported larger, or in some cases 
smaller, differences when comparing SpHb 
measurements to laboratory measurements.

Risk and Costs of
Red Blood Cell Transfusions

With noninvasive and continuous total hemoglobin (SpHb), Masimo may help 

clinician decision-making regarding one of the most common, costly, and critical 
problems in healthcare.1-3

Blood transfusions are one of the more 
common procedures in hospitals today.2 
The Joint Commission has noted that, 
“while blood transfusions can be life-
saving, they also carry risks that range from 
mild complications to death.”4 The Joint 
Commission and the American Medical 
Association have listed transfusions among 
their top five “overuse intervention targets.”4 

Several clinical studies and meta-analyses also 
have suggested clinical risk associated with 
inappropriate transfusions, and some suggest 
that restrictive blood transfusion practices may 
improve clinical outcomes.5-7 Also, given the 
costs associated with acquiring, storing, and 
administering blood, a reduction in unneeded 
transfusions may have an economic benefit.3 
For these reasons, and others, many institutions 
are adopting patient blood management 
protocols and programs.8

SpHb May Help Clinicians Reduce 
Blood Transfusions in Both Low 
and High Blood Loss Surgery

A randomized trial of 327 patients undergoing 
elective orthopedic surgery conducted at 
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) found that 
the use of continuous noninvasive hemoglobin 
monitoring reduced the rate of transfusions when 
compared to standard care without continuous 
noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring. Patients 
undergoing elective orthopedic surgery were 
randomized to receive standard care alone or 

standard care with SpHb monitoring. The researchers 
concluded, “We believe that the availability of SpHb 
decreases inappropriate transfusion.”1

A prospective cohort study of 106 neurosurgical 
patients found that adding SpHb monitoring to 
standard of care blood management resulted in 
decreased blood utilization in high blood loss neu-
rosurgery, while also facilitating earlier transfusions.2

In Two Studies, SpHb was Shown to Help Clinicians Reduce 
Blood Transfusions in Both Low & High Blood Loss Surgery

replace lab testing but it can provide immediate and additional information to aid patient assessment.

Patients were enrolled into either a Control Group 
or an intervention group (SpHb Group) where the 
Control Group received intraoperative hemoglobin 
monitoring by intermittent blood sampling. In 
each group, if researchers noted SpHb trended 
downward, below 10g/dL, a red blood cell 
transfusion was started and continued until SpHb 
trended upward, above 10g/dL. The blood sampling 
technique was the same for patients in both the 
control and the test group. Arterial blood was drawn 
from a 20 gauge radial artery cannula into 2mL 
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid collection tubes, 
thoroughly mixed, then sent immediately to the 
central lab for analysis by a hematology analyzer. The 
reference laboratory device used for hemoglobin 
measurements in the study was a Coulter GEN-S 
Hematology Analyzer. The transfusion threshold of 
10g/dL was predetermined by the study protocol 
and may not be appropriate for all patients. Clinical 
decisions regarding red blood cell transfusions 
should be based on the clinician’s judgment 
considering among other factors: patient condition, 
continuous SpHb monitoring, and laboratory 
diagnostic tests using blood samples.

Compared to the Control Group, the SpHb 
Group demonstrated:2

• Fewer units of blood transfused

–  1.0 (SpHb) vs 1.9 (Control) units for all patients
–  2.3 (SpHb) vs 3.9 (Control) units in patients 

receiving transfusion

• Fewer patients receiving more than 3 units

– 32% (SpHb) vs 73% (Control)

•  A shorter time to transfusion after the need 

was established
– 9.2 (SpHb) vs 50.2 (Control) min

SpHb Helped Clinicians Decrease the Time to 
Transfusion, When Transfusion was Truly Indicated2

Risk and Cost of 
Internal Bleeding

In addition to assisting with transfusion management, Masimo SpHb may help clinicians 

inside and outside the operating room identify changes in hemoglobin continuously.

Bleeding is considered a significant risk 
factor for patients, and late detection further 
increases risk and cost.1

Low hemoglobin is usually a reliable indicator 
that the patient is bleeding. However, current 

invasive blood monitoring methods are often 
intermittent and delayed.2 A declining SpHb 
trend may allow clinicians to identify falling 
hemoglobin levels and allow clinicians to 
intervene sooner.

Recent Study Investigates 
the Impact of SpHb & PVi on 
Anesthesia-Related Mortality

In a recent study conducted at Hospital Dupuytren (part of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire 

of Limoges, France), Professor Nathalie Nathan and colleagues concluded that monitoring 

with SpHb and PVi, as part of a vascular filling protocol in surgical patients, “allowed earlier 

transfusion and reduces mortality at a scale of a whole hospital with different clinical practices 
(and practitioners) and unselected patients.”1

The study included 18,867 patients, of whom 
3,450 underwent SpHb and PVi monitoring via 
Masimo Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeters, which were 
installed in all operating rooms, recovery rooms, 
and intensive care units, along with Masimo Patient 
SafetyNet™*. Patients in the monitoring group 
received vascular filling with crystalloids or blood, 
according to the clinical algorithm. Demographic, 
anesthesia, surgical, and transfusion data were 
collected in electronic medical records using 

Patient SafetyNet. The researchers compared the 
percentage of patients in the monitored group who 
received transfusions within the first postoperative 
48 hours to the percentage in the non-monitored 
group. They also compared mortality rates for each 
group at 30 days following surgery.

The researchers found that the patients in the group 
monitored with SpHb and PVi had a 30% reduction 
in mortality at 30 days in comparison to the control 

group. While the proportion of patients receiving 
transfusions and the number of units transfused 
within 48 hours were not significantly different 
between the two groups, non-cardiac surgical 
patients in the monitored group were transfused 
sooner in the operative or recovery room.

Quick and Noninvasive 
Hemoglobin and Oxygen 
Saturation Measurements

Rad-67™ Pulse CO-Oximeter features rainbow SET technology for noninvasive spot-checking of 

total hemoglobin (SpHb), oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and perfusion index (Pi).

A Remarkable Device for a 
Variety of Clinical Settings
The Rad-67 Pulse CO-Oximeter offers noninvasive 
hemoglobin and oxygen saturation measurements. 
The portable Rad-67—approximately 9” x 4” x 1” 
and weighing just 20 ounces—puts the power of 
noninvasive hemoglobin spot-check in clinicians’ 
hands in a variety of care environments including 
hospitals, clinics, and emergency medical services.

Next Generation SpHb Spot-check*
New software in Rad-67 offers several 
enhancements when used in conjunction with 

the new reusable rainbow® DCI-mini sensor. Next 
Generation SpHb technology offers improved 
motion tolerance, SpHb results display in as few 
as 30 seconds, enhanced field performance in the 
range of 6 to 11 g/dL, and is comparable to certain 
portable invasive point-of-care devices. 

SpHb is not intended to replace lab testing, but it 
can provide immediate and additional information 
to aid patient assessment.

Next Generation SpHb Accuracy 
Compared to Invasive Methods
The data in this section describes the accuracy of 
SpHb measurements in the range of 8-17 g/dL by

Limitations of Existing 
Methods to Support 
Fluid Management

Fluid administration is one of the most common hospital interventions. Although it is critical for 

improving patient status and enabling end organ preservation, unnecessary fluid administration 
is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.1

Clinicians commonly use intravenous fluid 
administration in the operating room and 
intensive care unit to attempt to improve blood 
flow, or cardiac output. However, administering 
either too little or too much fluid can increase 
patient risk. Therefore, experts recommend 
the use of “dynamic” parameters that measure 
physiologic variation over the respiratory 
cycle.2 A meta-analysis of 31 randomized 
controlled trials showed that goal-directed fluid 
management, using parameters such as stroke 
volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure 
variation (PPV), reduced surgical complications 
by 32%.3 While studies have shown these 
dynamic parameters to be beneficial, most are 
invasive, difficult to use, and costly.

A Noninvasive Fluid Monitoring Option
Masimo SET® pulse oximetry technology has 
the unique ability to also provide a dynamic 
variable, called Pleth Variability Index (PVi). PVi is 
a measure of the dynamic changes in Perfusion 
Index (Pi) that occur during the respiratory cycle. 
The calculation is made by measuring changes 
in Pi over a time interval during which one or 
more complete respiratory cycles have occurred. 
Pleth Variability Index (PVi) may show changes 
that reflect physiologic factors such as vascular 
tone, circulating blood volume, and intrathoracic 
pressure excursions. PVi is displayed on the same 
monitor and obtained with the same sensors as 
are used for Masimo SET® pulse oximetry and 
rainbow® monitoring.

Inclusion of PVi in 
Intraoperative Clinical 
Guidelines and Pathways

The positive and expanding evidence for PVi has led to its inclusion in guidelines and best 

practices for fluid management.

In a study of colorectal surgery patients managed 
with the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) 
protocol, PVi was integrated into the fluid therapy 
bundle to reduce lactate levels, while the median 
length of stay was reduced by 2.1 days.1

The Power of PVi and SpHb Together
While PVi and SpHb can help improve the quality of 
care when used individually, the integrative power 
of these parameters, brought together by Radical-7 
and Root, can provide additional clinical insight.

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.2

In 2013, the French Society for Anaesthesia and 
Intensive Care (SFAR ) added PVi to its guidelines 
for optimal hemodynamic management of 
surgical patients.3

Research suggests that the titration of excess 
fluid could lead to hemodilution which could 
subsequently increase the risk of complications, 
such as tissue edema and cardiopulmonary 
complications.4 Additionally, the administration 
of excess blood could lead to high hematocrit 
or hemoconcentration, which increases risks for 
morbidities such as venous thrombosis.5

By using SpHb and PVi together, it is possible to 
monitor both total hemoglobin and a patient’s fluid 
responsiveness on a single monitor. This visibility can 
help clinicians view the changes of these parameters 
in response to changing patient condition, or in 
response to an intervention such as a transfusion, 
in real time. In a clinical study in which investigators 
monitored patients with Masimo’s SpHb and PVi, the 
result was a decrease in mortality of 25%.6

Helping First Responders 
Monitor CO Levels and Screen 
for Elevated CO Levels

Deadly Exposure Revealed with SpCO
Our original rainbow® measurement, SpCO, 
measures carboxyhemoglobin, which forms in red 
blood cells upon contact with carbon monoxide 
(CO). This is particularly useful for patients who 
show no symptoms, but may have been exposed 
to dangerously high levels of CO. Evidence has 
indicated that noninvasive SpCO monitoring may 
lead to the identification of elevated CO levels 
that might otherwise go undetected in front-line 
settings. SpCO is intended to be used to monitor 
CO levels in the blood. SpCO monitoring is not 
intended to replace laboratory blood testing 
and not to be used as the sole basis for making 
diagnosis or treatment decisions related to carbon 

monoxide poisoning. Blood samples should be 
analyzed by laboratory instruments prior to clinical 
decision making.

Results from several clinical studies conducted on 
emergency room patients demonstrate that SpCO 
technology may be a valuable tool in screening a 
large number of patients for possible CO exposure,1,2 
supporting the possible use of SpCO as an efficient 
and rapid tool in first-line screening.3 A recent study 
at the Medical University of Vienna assessed 32,396 
emergency room patients with noninvasive SpCO. 
Of the 32 patients with a diagnosis of CO poisoning, 
22 (69%) would not have been identified without 
obtaining an SpCO measurement.4

Saving Lives Every Day
SpCO helps paramedics and emergency medical 
technicians identify and assess CO levels in 
the blood. Just one severe CO exposure event 
nearly doubles the risk of premature death, and 
consistent CO exposure may cause long-term 
heart and brain damage.5,6

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, 
leading to poor decision making and increasing 

the risk of heart disease or stroke—two conditions 
that account for nearly 50% of on-duty firefighter 
deaths.7,8 As a result of factors such as these, 
industry-leading organizations have lined up to 
support CO education. The National Fire Protection 
Association (NFPA) released an updated Fire 
Rehabilitation Standard (NFPA 1584) which requires 
that firefighters exposed to smoke at incident 
scenes and during training be assessed for elevated 
carbon monoxide (CO) levels on the scene.

Immediate Capnography at 
the Point of Patient Contact

EMMA™ (Emergency Mainstream Analyzer)
EMMA is a compact, portable, lightweight 
mainstream capnograph that requires minimal 
warm-up time, with full accuracy in 15 seconds. 
Capnographs measure carbon dioxide (CO2) 
concentration in expired gases. Their primary 
use is short-term monitoring of end-tidal CO2 
levels and respiration rate in adults, pediatric, and 

infant patients. They are used during anesthesia, 
emergency care, and intensive care, where 
capnography is often used to confirm endotracheal 
intubation and to monitor assisted ventilation 
performance. The continuous capnograph allows 
clinicians to confirm effective resuscitation, to assess 
the depth and effectiveness of compressions, and to 
recognize the return of spontaneous circulation.1,2

Helping Clinicians Monitor 
Methemoglobin Levels

Acquired Methemoglobinemia
Many drugs commonly used in hospitals—such as 
lidocaine, benzocaine, dapsone, and nitrates—may 
cause a dangerous reaction known as acquired 
methemoglobinemia. Methemoglobinemia is 
a blood disorder in which an abnormal amount 
of methemoglobin, a form of hemoglobin, 

is produced. With methemoglobinemia, the 
hemoglobin can carry oxygen but is unable 
to release it effectively to body tissues. While 
methemoglobinemia can occur in all care areas and 
patients, it is often unrecognized and undiagnosed.1 
If not identified and treated, it may result in 
avoidable injury or death.

Masimo SpMet May Be Valuable in 
Methemoglobinemia Assessment
Masimo noninvasive methemoglobin (SpMet) helps 
clinicians monitor for methemoglobin in care areas 
where the drugs that cause methemoglobinemia 
are most common, such as procedure labs and the 
operating room. This enables them to quickly adjust 

drug regimens and initiate potentially life-saving 
treatment.2 SpMet monitoring is not intended to 
replace laboratory blood testing and not to be 
used as the sole basis for making diagnosis or 
treatment decisions related to methemoglobinemia. 
Blood samples should be analyzed by laboratory 
instruments prior to clinical decision making.

Protecting More Patients by 
Monitoring Every Breath

To expand the rainbow® platform’s promise of breakthrough noninvasive measurements, 

we have grown beyond our optically-based technologies to include clinical measurements 

derived from sound.

rainbow Acoustic Monitoring®
Continuous monitoring of respiration rate is 
especially important for post-surgical patients 
receiving patient-controlled analgesia for pain 
management. The Anesthesia Patient Safety 
Foundation (APSF) and The Joint Commission 
recommend continuous oxygenation and ventilation 
monitoring for all patients receiving opioid-based 

pain medications.1,2 Conscious sedation can 
induce respiratory depression and place patients 
at considerable risk of serious injury or death.3 
However, current methods for respiration rate 
monitoring may be limited by patient tolerance.3,4 
While Masimo offers capnography solutions, rainbow 
Acoustic Monitoring may be better suited for post-
surgical monitoring and conscious sedation.

rainbow Acoustic Monitoring provides 
noninvasive and continuous respiration rate, 
Acoustic Respiration Rate (RRa), an accurate, 
easy-to-use, and reliable monitoring solution 
that also enjoys higher patient compliance.5,6 
RRa may facilitate earlier detection of 
respiratory compromise and patient distress, 
offering a breakthrough in patient safety for 
post-surgical patients and for procedures 
requiring conscious sedation.6

Monitoring More Patients More 
Safely than Ever Before
When rainbow Acoustic Monitoring is used in 
conjunction with rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry 
and the Patient SafetyNet system, clinicians 
can track key oxygenation indicators with 
industry-leading Masimo SpO2; ventilation with 
breakthrough acoustic respiration rate (RRa); 
circulation with Masimo Measure-through

monitoring, O3 regional oximetry, and NomoLine 
capnography, through connection to a compatible 
smart device, such as an LCD television. How 
the patient data is displayed can be configured 
differently than on the monitoring device itself. By 
customizing what can be displayed, Kite allows 
clinicians to focus on the most pertinent data 
for each stage of a patient’s care, empowering 
clinicians to make more informed decisions. In 
addition, Kite also visually projects patient alarms 

from the monitoring device, providing quick 
notification of changes in a patient’s physiological 
status. With its ability to project the most needed 
data, with powerful customization possibilities, 
Kite allows all clinicians in a busy operating room,

MyView empowers clinicians to see things their way.

The level and types 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 at all times. 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 every time. MyView 
technology—a feature of 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, 
patients, and their families each want to see. While 
a physician may want to see all parameters and 
waveforms, a medical assistant may only want to see 
a few parameters and no waveforms. If no clinician is 
in the room, the patient and family members 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.

MyView in Patient 
SafetyNet automatically 
senses when a clinician 
approaches and 
highlights their patients 
for easy viewing

Clinician-centric view with the use of a presence 
tag or smartphone allows caregivers to see the 
customized information most important to them 
as they approach a patient

When no clinician is present, 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 members while 
limiting unnecessary concerns and questions. When 
a clinician enters the room, MyView recognizes 
them and displays that clinician’s preferred view

Root with Iris®: Keeping 
Clinicians, Patients, 
and Data Connected

Iris Connectivity
Despite advances in medical technology, the lack 
of device interoperability is a serious patient safety 
risk. Existing approaches for device interoperability 
require separate hardware, software, and network 
infrastructure which can clutter the patient room, 
burden IT management, and increase the complexity 
and cost of care. Root with Iris is an important part of 
Masimo’s goal of bridging medical device data silos, 
acting as a built-in connectivity hub that can integrate 

multiple standalone devices. Device connectivity 
with Iris is designed to leverage existing network 
infrastructure and reduce costs, while enhancing 
workflows and decision support. Via Iris Gateway 
and Patient SafetyNet, Root with Iris can be used to 
connect isolated devices to hospital EMR systems in 
high-acuity settings like the OR and the ICU or in low-
acuity settings like the general ward.

Iris Gateway and Patient SafetyNet
Data generated from medical devices typically 
remain captive within each device and may not be 
captured in patient records. Iris Gateway provides 
a timely and cost-effective solution by connecting 
to existing medical devices, such as Root with 
Iris, and performing the required translations 
to move data from devices into the EMR. When 
medical device data is readily available in the 
EMR, clinicians have a more complete, more timely 

picture of the patient. In addition to automated 
documentation of patient data from multiple 
devices in the EMR, Patient SafetyNet further 
enhances connectivity by allowing patient data to 
be remotely viewed at central stations and alarms 
and alerts to be remotely transmitted to clinicians. 
Together, Root with Iris, Iris Gateway, and Patient 
SafetyNet are helping to connect clinicians, 
patients, and their data more closely than ever.

Automatic data transfer from 
medical devices to the EMR could 
improve productivity and reduce the 
likelihood of transcription errors1

Root with Radius-7™: The Power 
of Masimo Measurements in 
a Patient-worn Monitor

Designed for Monitoring Mobile Patients
Studies have shown that patient mobility is a key 
factor in more rapid patient recovery.1 Radius-7 
allows clinicians to continuously monitor their 
patients while they are mobile. 

Root with Radius-7 can alert clinicians to critical 
changes in a patient’s oxygen saturation, pulse rate, 

respiration rate, and other key measurements at the 
bedside or remotely, through Patient SafetyNet. 
Radius-7’s wireless communication functionality—
either short range via Bluetooth® to Root 
or with upgradeable WiFi for longer-range 
communication—ensures patients can 
be continuously monitored and connected 
to caregivers while they are ambulating.

Each Radius-7 comes 
with two rechargeable, 
“hot-swappable” modules

First and Only Wearable rainbow® Monitor
Radius-7 is the only wearable wireless device to 
enable continuous noninvasive monitoring of 10 
rainbow SET parameters:

•   Oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate and perfusion 
index (Pi) via Masimo SET® pulse oximetry, shown to 
reduce false alarms and increase detection of true 
alarms during patient motion and low perfusion

•   Respiration rate with either rainbow Acoustic 
Monitoring (for increased patient tolerance 
versus capnography) or respiration rate from 
the pleth (RRp)*

•   Noninvasive and continuous monitoring of 
a patient’s hemoglobin concentration with 
SpHb, carboxyhemoglobin with SpCO; 
methemoglobin concentration with 
SpMet; oxygen content with SpOC; and 
Pleth Variability Index (PVi).

Root with Noninvasive Blood 
Pressure and Temperature

With the addition of blood pressure and temperature monitoring capabilities, 

Root is now available as a powerful and versatile vital signs monitor.

Root with integrated noninvasive blood pressure 
and temperature (NIBPT) can enhance nursing 
workflows and help ensure correct patient data 
management. When used in conjunction with 
Patient SafetyNet or Iris Gateway, Root with NIBPT 
can be interfaced directly to hospital admit, 
discharge, transfer (ADT), and charting systems. 
This allows nurses to use a USB barcode scanner 
attached to Root to scan patient wristbands for 
simple, easy patient association, directly at the 
point of care.

Once the patient association is complete, all 
measurements are sent directly to the patient’s 
chart with no additional steps required by the 
clinician. In addition to transmitting and charting 
data measured by Root NIBPT, the system is 
also able to intake information from third-party 
devices via its Iris ports, enabling information from 
these devices to be charted as well. The system 

comes with user-configured software that 
prompts clinicians to associate patients so 
that data can be charted and stored when 
measured, and disassociate patients when 
measurements are complete, ensuring that 
correct patient data goes to each chart.

Early Warning Score
A recent Root software upgrade adds 
the capability to automatically calculate 
an Early Warning Score (EWS), based 
on existing device measurements and 
additional clinician input, that represents the 
potential degree of patient deterioration. 
As with other patient data, the EWS, which 
must be clinician-initiated, can be pushed to 
the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) directly 
when Root is connected to Patient SafetyNet 
or Iris Gateway.

MOC-9™: Flexible 
Measurement Expansion With 
Masimo Open Connect™

Masimo offers other companies the opportunity to develop and commercialize their 

innovations and deliver them to market via the Root platform.

Expanding Masimo Measurements
Root offers expanded measurement capability 
through software upgrades and Masimo Open 
Connect (MOC-9) modules. SedLine brain 
function monitoring, Masimo capnography and 
gas monitoring, and O3 regional oximetry are all 
provided as MOC-9 modules.

Designed to Stimulate Third-party Innovation
MOC-9 is designed to spur third-party 
development of additional measurements. 

Market barriers and development costs 
often keep small, innovative companies from 
delivering products to the clinicians and patients 
who need them most. With Root, Masimo 
provides an open invitation to other companies, 
large and small, to develop and commercialize 
their innovations and deliver them to market 
via the Root platform. We anticipate a new 
ecosystem of third-party measurements 
springing from Root, seeding whole new fields 
of innovation in patient monitoring.

Root with SedLine™ 2.0 
Brain Function Monitoring

Four simultaneous channels of EEG data provide continuous information about a patient’s 

response to anesthesia.

Patients respond differently to anesthetics, 
which can mean over- or under-administration 
during surgery and conscious sedation 
procedures. SedLine brain function monitoring 
provides continuous information about a 
patient’s response to anesthesia. With four 
channels of high-fidelity EEG data, SedLine 
enables monitoring of both sides of the 
brain simultaneously. The Density Spectral 
Array (DSA) enables immediate recognition 
of asymmetrical activity, identification of the 
specific frequency in which most EEG activity is 
occurring, and an easy-to-see display of burst 
suppression events.

Use of SedLine with its Patient State Index (PSi) 
has been shown to help clinicians manage 
patients to significantly faster emergence from 
anesthesia and recovery.1

SedLine 2.0
Our latest brain function monitoring innovation 
was developed to display a PSi value that reflects 
the patient’s anesthetic state during challenging 
brain function monitoring situations. SedLine 
2.0 utilizes Masimo’s Parallel Signal Processing 
Engines to compute an EEG-derived parameter 
(PSi) that is less influenced by electromyography 
(EMG). SedLine 2.0 also utilizes Masimo’s 
Adaptive Signal Processing with band-
independent features to search across many EEG 
frequency bands and thus offer improved PSi 
performance in cases of low power EEG.

Root with 
O3 Regional Oximetry

O3 regional oximetry uses near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor oxygen saturation 

(rSO2) in the brain.

The Root of Better Brain Oxygenation Monitoring
Regional oximetry, also referred to as tissue or 
cerebral oximetry, may help clinicians monitor 
cerebral oxygenation in situations in which pulse 
oximetry alone may not be fully indicative of the 
oxygen in the brain.

study did not require that end tidal carbon dioxide 
(EtCO2) levels be fixed in the study protocol, allowing 
the O3 measurement to be responsive to changes 
in tissue oxygen saturation due to changes in CO2 in 
the blood. Follow-up studies with O3 extended the 
subject pool to 74 subjects and demonstrated that 
O3 maintained its absolute and relative accuracy.2

In a study on 27 subjects published in Anesthesia and 
Analgesia, researchers compared cerebral oxygen 
saturation measurements obtained from O3 with 
saturations obtained from blood samples (SavO2) 
through induced hypoxia.1 O3 regional oximetry 
provided absolute root-mean-squared error of 4% 
and relative root-mean-squared error of 2.1%.1 This 

A Powerful Combination
The combination of O3’s accurate regional 
oximetry measurements and SedLine brain 
function monitoring provides clinicians with even 
more information about the brain’s response to 
anesthesia on the same monitoring platform.

Root with Capnography 
and Gas Monitoring

Changes in expired respiratory gas can be an early indicator of an adverse respiratory event. 

Capnography can help clinicians quickly spot hypoventilation, hyperventilation, airway 
obstruction, and other potentially life-threatening conditions.1

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. 
Root with capnography and gas monitoring 
complements our breakthrough noninvasive 
portfolio with innovative, multispectral 
technologies for measuring respiratory gases and 
inhaled anesthetic agents. The solutions range 

from integrated OEM solutions to an external 
“plug in and measure” gas analyzer, to handheld 
devices. With multiple measurements delivered 
through either mainstream or sidestream options, 
clinicians can now benefit from end-tidal CO2, 
FiCO2, RR, N2O, O2, and inhalation anesthetic 
agent monitoring in a range of hospital 
environments—from the operating room, to 
intensive care, to the general wards.

Capnography and Gas Monitoring are “plug and play” MOC-9 modules

ISA™ CO2 with NomoLine™ attached to 
the back of Root enables capnography 
and gas monitoring to be quickly 
disconnected from and re-deployed to 
any available Root

Solutions for a Variety of 
Capnography Applications

Traditional capnography solutions utilize 
compounds such as Nafion® to attract and trap 
water which enters the sampling line due to 
condensation of the expired patient gas. The 
Nafion portion of the sampling line absorbs water 
before it enters the gas analyzer and is the most 
costly per-patient component of the sampling line. 
These components, however, continuously absorb 
water, which can occlude the patient sampling 
line, causing readings to degrade over time or 
potentially result in no readings at all.

NomoLine No Moisture Sampling Line
NomoLine technology eliminates common 
problems associated with conventional sidestream 
gas analysis. Incorporating a special polymer 
and a hydrophobic bacterial filter, NomoLine 
technology allows water in the sampling line to 
evaporate into the surrounding air. This enables 

a single NomoLine to last much longer than 
conventional capnography sampling line solutions, 
without affecting functionality of the ISA module. 
NomoLine’s innovative design also allows multi-
patient use as a “resposable” solution, along with 
the use of generic cannulas.

ISA—A High Performance Sidestream Analyzer
Using state-of-the-art spectrometer technology 
that utilizes nine different wavelengths of light 
and powerful signal processing algorithms, the 
ISA sidestream analyzer provides clinicians with 
capnography and gas measurements. Crisp 
waveforms help depict the clinical situation 
from the operating room to the general wards. 
Additionally, with virtually no warm-up time and 
full accuracy performance in ten seconds, ISA 
saves time in critical situations. ISA is factory-
calibrated and does not require field calibration, 
minimizing hospital-level maintenance. ISA 
sidestream analyzers are available as standalone or 
easy-to-integrate OEM modules.

Helping Improve 
Outcomes on the Wards 
With 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—built on Masimo SET® pulse 
oximetry with rainbow Acoustic Monitoring 
or standard capnography—offers a clinically 
proven, cost-effective solution for continuous 
post-operative monitoring with high nursing 
satisfaction and patient compliance. 

Reducing Rescues and ICU Transfers
Clinicians understand the risks of not 
continuously monitoring patients on the 
general wards. However, excessive false 
alarms due to patient motion often preclude 
continuous monitoring in these care areas. 

In the last decade, Masimo SET® has been 
shown in multiple studies to improve the 
process of care in neonates and pediatric 
patients due to its Measure-through 
Motion and Low Perfusion™ performance. 
However, in a landmark study published in 

Anesthesiology in 2010, researchers found 
that continuously monitoring patients on a 
post-surgical floor at Dartmouth-Hitchcock 
Medical Center using Patient SafetyNet with 
Masimo bedside devices resulted in a 65% 
reduction of rapid response team activations 
and a 48% reduction in transfers back to 
the ICU. In addition, the reduction in ICU 
transfers over the initial 11-month period led 
to a cost savings of $1.48 million.2 

Following the initial implementation and 
positive results in one post-surgical ward, 
Patient SafetyNet with Masimo bedside 
devices was expanded to cover more than 200 
inpatient beds in all medical and surgical units. 
In subsequent articles published in Anesthesia 
Patient Safety Foundation Newsletter in 
2012 and The Joint Commission Journal on 
Quality and Patient Safety in 2016, researchers 

Significant reductions in rapid response 
team activations and ICU transfers were 
observed in an 11-month evaluation of 
Patient SafetyNet on a post-surgical unit. 
Rescue events decreased 65%, from 3.4 
to 1.2 per 1,000 patient discharges, and 
ICU transfers decreased 48%, from 5.6 to 
2.9 per 1,000 patient days. The financial 
impact resulted in annual opportunity cost 
savings of $1.48 million.2 Results drove 
expansion of the use of Patient SafetyNet 
to other care areas; after 10 years, the 
hospital had maintained a 50% reduction 
in unplanned transfers and 60% reduction 
in rescue events, despite increases in 
patient acuity and occupancy.3,4

showed that Patient SafetyNet enabled the facility, 
over a five-year period, to achieve their goal of 
zero preventable deaths or brain damage due to 
opioids,3 and, over a ten-year period, maintain a 
50% reduction in unplanned transfers and 60% 
reduction in rescue events, despite increases in 
patient acuity and occupancy.4

Just as pulse oximetry has become a standard of care 
in the OR, PACU, and ICU, we believe that Measure-
through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry will 
become a standard of care on general wards.

Proven Cost-effectiveness
As a result of the study, Dartmouth-Hitchcock 
Medical Center saved $1.48 million annually, 
showing that implementing Masimo SET® and 
Patient SafetyNet to more safely monitor post-
surgical patients can also have a significant impact 
on a hospital’s bottom line, by increasing ICU bed 
availability and reducing the costs associated 
with emergency rescue events. With both clinical 
and financial rationales now in place, hospitals 
are increasingly implementing general ward 
monitoring with Masimo technologies.

Halo Index™: Better View 
of Overall Patient 
Physiological Status

Halo Index™* Mimics an Expert Clinician
Halo Index is a new indicator for cumulative 
trending assessment of global patient status. 
Physiologic deterioration often occurs long 
before a crisis event and manifests through 
subtle and often undetected changes across 
multiple physiologic parameters. Masimo 
designed Halo Index to mimic the systematic 
approach that expert clinicians use in assessing 
patient physiologic deterioration: analyzing 
patient history and extracting key vital sign 
parameter characteristics to assess global 

patient status. Halo Index currently uses 
available Masimo parameters but is scalable 
to include additional information from the 
patient data 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. 
An increase in a patient’s Halo Index would 
suggest physiologic deterioration and might 
indicate the need for clinicians to more closely 
assess the patient.

Patient SafetyNet can display actual parameter 
values (below) or color-coded alarm states 
(right), which allows more patients to be 
viewed simultaneously on screen

92

The relative contribution of each parameter to a patient's 
Halo Index is indicated visually by a white dot, as shown to 
the right.   Whenever a particular parameter is being used in 
the Halo Index calculation, the dot appears beneath it.  The 
size of each dot increases and decreases to reflect changes 
in the current weighting of each parameter, which adjusts 
dynamically based upon available clinical data.

In this example, a rising Halo Index indicates a declining patient 
condition while displaying parameter trends and their relative 
contributions to the Halo Index

* Halo Index is not available in the U.S.

Ta kin g Noninvasive Monitoring  to 
New  S ites and Applications ™

Through Our 
Movements, We Are 
Doing What is Best 
for Patient Care

Impact Beyond 
the Hospital

Masimo technologies are increasingly being used to enhance the quality of patient care outside 

the hospital.

A New Level of Care in the Home
The new Rad-9™* bedside pulse oximeter will be 
easily customizable to suit the needs of the home 
user. With an intuitive touchscreen interface, device 
settings can be quickly and easily managed. To 
ensure safety, the “Home” mode setting will lock 
out non-clinicians from inadvertently changing 
alarm settings. Rad-9 will be able to trend and store 
parametric data for up to 96 hours at a two-second 
sampling rate and offer the ability to transfer 
data wirelessly via Bluetooth or WiFi, supporting 
burgeoning telehealth initiatives.

Rad-9’s wireless connectivity options allow the 
device to communicate with connected devices, 
such as glucometers and weight scales, and can 
allow the data from the connected device to be 

transmitted remotely. Rad-9 will be available for 
use on home and enterprise networks to connect 
to remote monitoring systems, including Patient 
SafetyNet. Additional devices can be simultaneously 
attached to Rad-9 using the Iris hub.

Adding a Safety Net to 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 
expose patients to increased risk of adverse 
events.1 When ventilated patients are moved to 
long-term care or assisted-living environments, 
Rad-9 will provide continuous monitoring during 
transportation to help clinicians manage adverse 

respiratory events. The integration of Masimo SET® 
bedside pulse oximeters and Patient SafetyNet 
remote monitoring and notification systems has 
enabled a considerable reduction in rapid response 
activations as well as emergency “transfer-outs.”2

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 
reliability in this challenging environment.3

Outpatient Clinical Procedures
There are many clinical procedures that require 
light or conscious sedation. Under conscious 
sedation, patients may have an unexpected 
reaction to a drug or may inadvertently be over-
sedated. Both conditions may not be detected 
without a monitoring system. For dentistry, 
clinicians can monitor a patient’s SpO2 to ensure 
adequate breathing throughout the procedure.4 
Masimo SET® has also been shown to be useful 
during other outpatient procedures such as 
colonoscopies and bronchoscopies.5,6

Both Rad-9 and Rad-97 will be available with an optional camera, which can be used in 

conjunction with Masimo Patient SafetyNet. The camera will provide a high resolution, 
high-frame rate video feed, as well as audio, to the Patient SafetyNet view-station. 
When used at home, camera-equipped Rad-9 and Rad-97 will allow patients 
and clinicians to interact remotely, making it well-suited as a point-of-care 

device for potential telehealth applications.

Gearing Up for the 
mHealth Revolution

Masimo is well positioned for a future when mobile and medical device 

technologies converge.

iSpO2® Rx*—The World’s First Pulse 
Oximeter for iOS and Android 
Mobile Platforms
Combining a Masimo board-in-cable, 
reusable or disposable sensor, and an 
app running on a smartphone or tablet 

device, iSpO2 Rx features Masimo’s 
proven Measure-through Motion and 
Low Perfusion pulse oximetry—oxygen 
saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and 
perfusion index (Pi).

MightySat™ Rx is the First Fingertip 
Pulse Oximeter with Masimo SET®
MightySat Rx* measures SpO2, PR, and Pi in a 
compact, battery-powered unit with a large 
color screen that can be rotated for real-time

trended graphical display on a compatible 
smart device. The app also interfaces with 
the Apple Health Kit for iOS users, further 
expanding its utility. The app empowers 
clinicians and patients by allowing the 
captured data to be shared via email.

MightySat Rx is also available with optional 
Pleth Variability Index (PVi), a measure of the 
dynamic changes in Pi that occur during the 
respiratory cycle.

The Masimo Professional Health App includes 
a high resolution plethysmographic waveform,

Better Data = 
Better Performance™

Throughout our history, Masimo devices have mainly been designed to help patients in 

healthcare settings. Now, we’re also helping healthy people live better lives.

We’ve made medical-grade pulse oximetry 
technology available in the MightySat™ fingertip 
pulse oximeter and iSpO2® pulse oximeter for 
smart devices.

and recovery regimens. In addition, private pilots 
are increasingly using our pulse oximeters to 
accurately measure their oxygen levels, which 
can fluctuate to very low levels at higher altitudes 
without supplemental oxygen.

These devices are increasingly being used for 
general wellness and health applications including 
sports, fitness, and relaxation management.* Elite 
athletes such as Olympic cycling medalist Dotsie 
Bausch, Ironman® champion Heather Jackson, and 
tennis stars Coco Vandeweghe and Taylor Fritz are 
using our technologies to enhance their training 

The “Quantified Self”
The “quantified self” movement is based on the 
practice of self-knowledge through self-tracking 
diet, sleep, activity, and—increasingly—health and 
wellness. By tracking and comparing data over time, 
one gains a more comprehensive and objective 
understanding of one’s health and how to actively 
manage oneself toward an optimal state. Such 

self-tracking can be motivated by a simple desire 
to improve daily function, or for amateur and 
professional athletes to up their game.

you’re going to quantify yourself, you should have 
the best, most reliable data available to you. That’s 
what we mean by Better Data = Better Performance 
and Better Data = Better Health.

The Masimo Advantage
Multiple companies have introduced low-priced 
health tracking devices, including pulse oximeters, 
to the consumer market. In some circumstances, 
these products may provide inaccurate 
measurements or no measurements at all. With 
blood oxygen levels, this often occurs when 
there is low blood flow to the finger (such as 
when the fingers are cold) or during hand 
movement (even with minimal motion, such 
as shaking). In addition, many of the products 
on the market are of low quality and do 
not interface with smart devices to store, 
manage, and share data. With MightySat and 
iSpO2, the same high-performing Measure-
through Motion and Low Perfusion Masimo 
SET® technology used by leading hospitals 
is now available for general wellness and 
health applications. We believe that if 

“ Masimo MightySat tracks key 

biometric data that allows me 

to measure and improve my 

athletic performance and 

gauge my recovery.”

Taking Noninvasive Monitoring 
to the Animal Kingdom

Masimo Animal Health offers veterinarians the same industry-leading monitoring solutions that 

have helped so many human patients.

Masimo SET® monitors and sensors enhance the 
accuracy of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and 
pulse rate (PR) monitoring, particularly during the 
most challenging conditions of motion and low 
perfusion. Masimo SET® helps veterinarians provide 
exceptional care—especially when patients are 
most at risk, during anesthesia-induced operating 
procedures and post-operative recovery.

Innovative Capnography Protects Animals 
from the Operating Room to Recovery
Over 60% of all post-surgical animal deaths occur 
in the post-operative setting. More than 70% of 
these deaths are related to cardiovascular or 
respiratory problems.1 

The EMMA capnograph is Masimo’s most cost-
effective method for monitoring end-tidal CO2 
and can help identify animals needing intervention 
during CPR/resuscitation, surgical procedures, 
and postoperative recovery.2 This water-resistant, 
durable capnograph also meets American Animal 
Hospital Association (AAHA) guidelines for end-
tidal CO2 monitoring.3

A Revolutionary 
Patient Safety Movement

We live in turbulent times. Disruption and upheaval are the hallmarks of our age. 

Some changes are positive—like medical advancements and the drive to empower patients. 

However, some of the global geopolitical changes are wreaking havoc and suffering on an 

unprecedented scale—for instance, the Syrian refugee crisis. Masimo is proud to be right in 

the thick of things, helping out wherever we can.

ZERO Preventable Deaths by 2020
In January 2017, the Patient Safety Movement 
(which the Masimo Foundation founded in 2012 
and continues to sponsor) hosted the fifth annual 
World Patient Safety, Science & Technology 
Summit in Dana Point, California. President Bill 
Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden keynoted the 
event at which hundreds of diverse stakeholders 
from all parts of the global healthcare ecosystem 
came together to advance a vital mission—to 
eliminate preventable patient deaths.

The Patient Safety Movement believes that “ZERO 
preventable deaths by 2020” is not only a worthy 
goal, but an attainable goal. By fostering and 
facilitating mass collaboration; by breaking down 
information silos that exist between hospitals, 
medical technology companies, the government, 
and other stakeholders; by promoting the data 
sharing that can identify at-risk patients before 
they’re in danger; and by providing specific, 
actionable patient safety solutions (APSS) that 
healthcare professionals can implement today, 
we can eliminate preventable patient deaths. 
It is simply a matter of connecting all the dots.

Helping Our Neighbors 
All Over the World

Through our partnerships with the Clinton Global Initiative, the World Health Organization (WHO), 

Partners in Health, and other organizations, Masimo is proud to contribute to worldwide healthcare 

improvements, including donating $5 million in medical equipment to assist Jordan in providing 

healthcare to over 1 million Syrian and Iraqi refugees.

The wars in Syria and Iraq constitute one of the 
largest ongoing humanitarian crises in the world. 
Over a million displaced people are now living 
within Jordan’s borders, more than 600,000 of 
whom are registered with the United Nations High 
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Managing 
healthcare is a critical requirement for stability 
during crises and, while new hospitals are being 
built near refugee camps, the vast majority of 
refugees in Jordan reside in existing communities, 
heightening the demand for health services 
throughout the country. Masimo was determined 
to help ease the burden of providing healthcare 
by donating pulse oximeters and other medical 
equipment and supplies, along with a long-term 

commitment to train and provide continued 
technical support for the Jordanian clinicians who 
are delivering the front-line care.

Patients in many parts of the developing world 
lack access to even basic medical screenings. 
Working with WHO, Masimo donated pulse 
oximeters for use by front-line health workers in a 
study in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, and Malawi 
which focused on improving access to essential 
treatments for children. Masimo also donated pulse 
oximeters to hospitals in Liberia and Sierra Leone 
as part of a joint effort with Partners in Health to 
rebuild the West African healthcare system.

Forward-looking 
Statements

All statements other than statements of 
historical facts included in this annual report 
that address activities, events or developments 
that we expect, believe, or anticipate will or 
may occur in the future are forward-looking 
statements. Forward-looking statements 
include statements which are predictive 
in nature, which depend upon or refer to 
future events or conditions, or which include 
words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” 
“intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” 
or the negative of these words or other 
similar terms or expressions that concern our 
expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. 

These forward-looking statements are based 
on management’s current expectations and 
beliefs and are subject to uncertainties and 
factors, all of which are difficult to predict and 
many of which are beyond our control and 
could cause actual results to differ materially 
and adversely from those described in the 
forward-looking statements. These risks 
include, but are not limited to, those related 
to: actual foreign currency exchange rates; 
our dependence on Masimo SET® and Masimo 
rainbow SET™ products and technologies for 
substantially all of our revenue; our ability to 
protect and enforce our intellectual property 

rights; potential exposure to competitors’ 
assertions of intellectual property claims; the 
highly competitive nature of the markets in 
which we sell our products and technologies; 
our ability to continue developing innovative 
products and technologies; the lack of 
acceptance of any of our current or future 
products and technologies; obtaining 
regulatory approval of our current and 
future products and technologies; the risk 
that the implementation of our international 
realignment will not continue to produce 
anticipated operational and financial benefits, 
including a continued lower effective tax rate; 

the loss of our customers; our ability to retain 
and recruit senior management; product 
liability claims exposure; our ability to obtain 
expected returns from the amount of intangible 
assets we have recorded; the maintenance 
of our brand; the amount and type of equity 
awards that we may grant to employees and 
service providers in the future; our ongoing 
litigation and related matters; and other factors 
discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our 
most recent periodic reports filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), 
including our most recent Annual Report on 
Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q 

and Current Reports on Form 8-K, all of which 
you may obtain for free on the SEC’s website 
at www.sec.gov. 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, even 
if subsequently made available by us on our 
website or otherwise. We do not undertake 
any obligation to update, amend or clarify 
these forward-looking statements, whether as 
a result of new information, future events or 

otherwise, except as may be required under 
applicable securities laws.

Please note that this annual report does not 
constitute our “annual report to security 
holders” for purposes of the requirements of
