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

Sound United, which owns premium audio brands such as Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, Marantz, Definitive Technology, Polk Audio, Classé and Boston Acoustics. The company stated that the acquisition gave it access to more retail channels and product engineers, and that it planned to leverage Denon's HEOS network-connected speakers as smart home hubs for aggregating health data from its services and devices.[6]

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

venous blood also moves, which can cause conventional pulse oximetry to under-read SpO2 levels because it cannot distinguish between the arterial and venous blood.[9][10]

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

pulse rate. In addition, SET pulse oximetry provides perfusion index (PI) and pleth variability index (PVI). Multiple studies have shown that compared to non-SET pulse oximeters, SET increases the ability to detect life-threatening events and reduces false alarms.[11][12]
Additional studies have also shown the impact of SET on patient outcomes, such as helping clinicians:

In 2011, the

sensors with labeling for screening newborns for CCHD. It marked the first time the FDA cleared specific labeling indicating the use of pulse oximeters, in conjunction with a physical examination, to screen newborns for CCHD.[21]

In 2012, the

hemodynamic management of surgical patients.[23]

Rainbow Pulse CO-Oximetry

Rainbow Pulse CO-Oximetry uses more than seven wavelengths of light to continuously and noninvasively measure hemoglobin (SpHb),

The World Health Organization called noninvasive hemoglobin an "innovative medical technology for cost-effectively addressing global health concerns and needs".[32]

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.

Intensive Care Unit (ICU) days annually for an annual opportunity-cost savings of $1.48 million.[34][35]

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

cloud server, allowing it to be monitored by physicians.[39]

Rainbow acoustic monitoring

Rainbow

SedLine brain function monitoring

In 2010, Masimo began offering

EEG). Studies have shown this results in more individualized titration and improved care.[43]

Capnography and gas monitoring

Masimo began offering ultra-compact mainstream and sidestream

Children's Medical Center (Dallas), found that respiratory rate measured from noninvasive, acoustic monitoring had similar accuracy and precision as nasal capnography, the current standard of care when used in pediatric patients.[45]

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

respiratory depression. The device—which was the subject of an innovation challenge issued by the FDA—received a De Novo classification allowing it to be distributed over-the-counter and through prescription[47]

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]
