Masimo Corporation is a health technology and consumer electronics company based in Irvine, California. The company primarily manufactures patient monitoring devices and technologies, including non-invasive sensors using optical technology, patient management, and telehealth platforms. In 2022, the company expanded into home audio by acquiring Sound United, and began to manufacture health-oriented wearable devices.
History
Masimo was founded in 1989 by electrical engineer Joe Kiani, who was later joined by fellow engineer Mohamed Diab.[2]
Masimo went public in 2007[3] and is currently traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the symbol MASI. In 2011, Forbes named Masimo to its list of top 20 public companies under a billion dollars in revenue.[4][5]
In 2022, Masimo acquired
In October 2023, the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled that Apple Inc. had infringed upon patents for light-based pulse oximetry owned by Masimo in its Apple Watch product line. Masimo accused Apple of poaching engineers from the company after it declined offers to partner with or be acquired by Apple. Apple denied these claims, stating that it had discussed partnerships with several vendors, and declined to work with Masimo because it was not in the consumer market.[7][8]
Technology
Signal Extraction Technology (SET) pulse oximetry
SET identifies the venous blood signal (which has a lower oxygen saturation level than arterial blood), isolates it, and uses adaptive filters to extract the arterial signal in order to report accurate SpO2 and
- Decrease retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in neonates[13][14]
- Increase detection of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) in newborns[15]
- Reduce ventilator weaning time by titrating FiO2 faster and reduce arterial Intensive Care Unit (ICU)[16]
- Decrease rapid response activations and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) transfers through earlier identification of patients in distress through low SpO2 and abnormal pulse rate measurements[17][18]
- Decrease fluid administered during surgery and reduce patient risk[19]
In 2011, the
In 2012, the
Rainbow Pulse CO-Oximetry
Rainbow Pulse CO-Oximetry uses more than seven wavelengths of light to continuously and noninvasively measure hemoglobin (SpHb),
In October 2014, Masimo announced
Patient and consumer monitoring
SafetyNet
Patient SafetyNet is a remote monitoring and notification system designed for patients on medical/surgical care floors.
In 2020, Dartmouth-Hitchcock published a retrospective study showing that over ten years of using Patient SafetyNet, there were zero patient deaths and no patients were harmed by opioid-induced respiratory depression while continuous monitoring with Masimo SET was in use.[36] ECRI Institute gave Dartmouth its Health Devices Achievement Award for its use of Patient SafetyNet to prevent "severe patient harm".[37] Masimo has introduced Halo ION in the Patient SafetyNet system, combining multiple physiologic parameters into one number to help clinicians assess overall patient status.[38]
In 2020, amid the
Rainbow acoustic monitoring

SedLine brain function monitoring
In 2010, Masimo began offering
Capnography and gas monitoring
Masimo began offering ultra-compact mainstream and sidestream
Opioid monitoring and treatments
In June 2020, the company released Bridge, a medical device intended to reduce symptoms of opioid withdrawal via neuromodulation.[46]
In April 2023, the company received FDA approval for a pulse oximetry-based device for preventing
Smartwatches
In 2022, Masimo released the W1, a smartwatch that includes continuous health monitoring features and integrated with Masimo's other product lines. It was released in a limited public launch in the U.S., and to telehealth providers internationally.[48]
