Masimo Corporation Founder and CEO Joe Kiani Named Ernst amp Young National Entrepreneur Of The Year 2012 Life Sciences Award Winner Joe Kiani honored for revolutionizing todays health care technologies with the invention and commercialization of noninvasive patient monitoring devices IRVINE, California, November 20, 2012 Joe Kiani, founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Masimo Corporation, has been named the Ernst amp Young National Entrepreneur Of The Year 2012 Life Sciences Award Winner. The Ernst amp Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award is the countrys most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs. The award encourages entrepreneurial activity and recognizes leaders and visionaries who demonstrate innovation, financial success and personal commitment as they create and build world-class businesses. Kiani was recognized for revolutionizing the health care industry by taking risks to create and commercialize noninvasive patient monitoring devices, which include a wide array of sensors that lead to improved accuracy, a reduction in the overall number of false readings, and ultimately, reduced cost of care. Kiani was honored at the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards gala, the culminating event of the Ernst amp Young Strategic Growth Forum in Palm Springs, Calif. The Forum is the nations premier gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies. Awards were given in nine additional categories. The Ernst amp Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award winners were selected by an independent panel of judges from 244 regional award recipients. We are pleased to honor Joe Kiani with this esteemed award and recognize him for his perseverance, passion, and innovative mind all of which continue to make a positive impact on health care and patient monitoring technologies, said Bryan Pearce, Americas Director, Entrepreneur Of The Year, Ernst amp Young LLP. Joes innovative approach, discipline and triumph over the years truly demonstrate the meaning of the entrepreneurial spirit weve come to celebrate over the last 26 years. The early rise and collapse By training, Kiani is an electrical engineer, graduating from high school at the mere age of 15. Kianirsquos entrepreneurial spirit sprouted early on at his first job, a smaller company with pulse oximeter technology, where he worked in exchange for stock not cash. Kianirsquos aptitude and contributions led to his swift rise to the top as president of the company, after its upcoming merger, at an early age. But as hasty as the rise, Kiani quickly learned an important aspect of ethics and integrity. As a result of his efforts in honesty, Kiani was blamed for the collapse of the companyrsquos pending merger. This decision and outcome ultimately led to Masimo Corporation. Passion amp discipline: never settle for less With Kianirsquos developed passion for adaptive signal processing for noninvasive monitoring, he took the money he had saved and a 40,000 bank loan and began to develop noninvasive patient monitoring technology from his garage. Within three short years of maintaining a strong financial discipline, Kiani had raised substantial capital and was well on his way to creating medical technology that has transformed the health care industry today technology that would not exist were it not for Masimo Corporation. Despite hospital administrators and clinicians embracing Masimorsquos superior technology, Kiani still faced barriers. Larger, more established companies and group purchasing organizations (GPOs) were reluctant to let Masimo Corporation succeed in the market. Kiani stuck by his belief of always doing what is right for patient care and emerged victorious after Senate investigations into anticompetitive practices of GPOs and established companies, including his main rival, where Kiani testified twice in front of the U. S. Senate Judiciary Committee, and a seven-year patent infringement legal battle a battle that threatened to bankrupt Masimo. Giving back and thriving As Masimo emerged as a success story in the medical industry, many advised Kiani to buy out his existing shareholders. But instead, he distributed much of his profit in a special dividend and offered a substantial appreciation bonus to employees. Soon after, Kiani knew Masimo could achieve bigger and better things, and in order to do so, he took the company public. In its first five years as a public company, Masimo Corporation product revenues increased by more than 100 percent, and net income increased by more than 175 percent. Throughout it all, Kiani never stopped taking risks to grow what is now a multi-million dollar public company with more than 2,700 employees.

Kiani The 2009 Frost amp Sullivan CEO of the Year Award in the North American Patient Monitoring market is presented to Mr. Joe E. Kiani (Mr. Kiani), the founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and CEO of Masimo, a global medical technology company. The Award is presented in recognition of Mr. Kianis laudable accomplishments in launching Masimo as a platform to conceptualize and develop novel noninvasive patient monitoring technologies. As the CEO of Masimo, Mr. Kiani has demonstrated unprecedented ability in understanding customer requirements, developing new technologies, delivering relevant products, and thereby exploiting new market opportunities. In leading Masimo, he has not only made technology innovation the core of the companys philosophy but also equally emphasized protection of that innovation through patent licensing and OEM contracts with established patient monitoring manufacturing companies such as GE Medical, Philips, Zoll, Atom, Draeger, and Medtronic. While accomplishing all of these things, Masimo and Mr. Kiani have also been recognized for their integrity in conducting business and truthfulness in advertising. An Industry Icon Mr. Kiani enjoys an iconic status in the industry by virtue of his pioneering contributions and proven capabilities in transforming a humble start-up venture into a leading publicly-traded company. After earning his B. S.E. E. and M. S.E. E. degrees from San Diego State University, Mr. Kiani served as Regional Technical Manager for Anthem Electronics, Inc, and as Field Applications Engineer for Bell industries, Inc. Moreover, he had also served Unisys Corporation as a Product Engineer. Finally, in 1989 Mr. Kiani laid the foundation of Masimo with the explicit goal to improve the precision of pulse oximetry monitoring equipment. Mr. Kiani also carries other responsibilities as a Board member of Saba Software, Inc a software company specialized in human capital development and management solutions and as chairman of the Medical Device Manufacturers Association. A True Innovation Leader As a technology innovator, Mr. Kiani has always been intrigued by complex technical challenges. In his early career, he identified the inadequacies of conventional pulse oximetry monitoring equipment. Simultaneously, he also recognized the opportunity to apply adaptive filters and innovative signal processing technologies, named Signal Extraction Technology reg in measuring physiological parameters. This technology application could potentially address the issue of motion artifact and low signal to noise problem that afflicted pulse oximetry. With the assistance of his friend, Mohamed Diab, an engineer, Mr. Kiani embarked on achieving the impossible goal of developing a pulse oximetry technology that provides precise, reliable measurements during low peripheral profusion and patient motion. The outcome of this endeavor was the invention of a breakthrough technology in pulse oximetry, Masimo SET, which considerably reduced false alarms and increased the instruments capability of detecting critical conditions. This revolutionary discovery marked the beginning of Masimos legacy as pulse oximetry technology innovator developing and manufacturing advanced, unique equipment each year. Under Mr. Kianis leadership, in 2005 Masimo unveiled its second ground-breaking innovation, Masimo Rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry with the advanced ability to measure several blood constituents that traditionally necessitated invasive methods. Considerable enhancements were made in this product line with the capacity to measure carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO reg ) in 2005, methemoglobin (SpMet reg ) in 2006, and pleth variability index (PVI reg )in 2007. The latest Rainbow innovation from Masimo launched in 2008 is the noninvasive total hemoglobin (SpHb trade ). Additionally, this novel equipment also measures pulse rate, perfusion index, and oxyhemoglobin and plays a critical role in early detection and treatment of life-threatening conditions. Unequaled Entrepreneurial Capabilities The key to Mr. Kianis success as the CEO of Masimo lies in directing his technological inventions to strategically address the unmet needs of the market. With adequate customer insights, identification of the shortcomings to the available pulse oximetry monitoring equipment, ideation and subsequent development of an exclusive class of medical instrumentation procedures, Mr. Kiani has redefined patient monitoring systems. Under Mr. Kianis leadership, Masimo has successfully penetrated a market that poses significant entrance barriers. Masimo as a leading market participant not only innovates but also manufactures, licenses, and markets sophisticated medical signal processing technologies to gain maximum profits from a billion-dollar market growing at 8 percent annually. As a dynamic entrepreneur, he has accepted technological and business challenges successfully, resolved them, and created new industry benchmarks during this process. In this context, it is relevant to mention that in 2006, Mr. Kianis relentless efforts enabled Masimo to attain a historic victory against Nellcor division of Tyco Healthcare in one of the biggest patent infringement violation lawsuits. Despite Tyco Healthcares stature and market dominance, Mr. Kiani won his company more than 300 million in damages setting a dramatic precedent that has changed the very face of the healthcare industry. In addition, his testimony before the U. S. Senate in 2002 led to Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) reforms that help ensure clinicians have access to the best technology and that every company making effective products, competitively priced, is given a chance to compete and sell to hospitals through a GPO, not just the dominant suppliers. Persistently Driving Company Growth Guided by Mr. Kiani, Masimo has consistently delivered phenomenal financial results. At the end of the 2007 Masimos product revenue stood at a record 199.7 million. Masimos financial results at the end of third quarter of 2008 were equally impressive, depicting 21st consecutive quarter of revenue growth. Some of the noteworthy achievements are: record 66 million revenues, increase by 48 percent in direct business revenues, and a staggering number of 30,700 new pulse oximeters and Pulse CO-Oximeter shipments. It is also pertinent to mention in this context that in 2006, Masimo was one of the two leading participants in the market with 40 percent of the market share. Furthermore, the market for all its products together is estimated as 2 to 3 billion. Setting Industry Trends The strategies adopted by Mr. Kiani as the CEO of Masimo have persistently created new industry standards. The novel product portfolio of Masimo has added a new dimension to noninvasive patient monitoring equipment that has considerably facilitated early detection of challenging patient conditions. As a technology innovator, Mr. Kiani has more than 50 patents to his credit in sensors, signal processing, and patient monitoring that include patents for the innovation of read-through motion and low-perfusion pulse oximetry. His technology licensing strategy has successfully demonstrated the infallibility of patenting as a critical growth propeller for emerging medical device companies. Masimos victory against Tyco Healthcare buttresses the importance of patenting in guarding the innovations of the emerging companies against established market participants. Furthermore, this victory also indicates the capability of emerging companies to compete with the market leaders that control the market. Committed to Customer Value Enhancement Under Mr. Kianis able leadership, Masimo products have proved their value to their customers. More than 100 clinical studies have corroborated the fact that Masimo SET is the worlds most effective pulse oximeter. Measuring hemoglobin, oxygenation status, and pulse rate simultaneously, Masimo Rainbow SET is noninvasive, continuous, and immediate unlike conventional laboratory measurements that are invasive, intermittent, and produce delayed results. It is worth mentioning that in a recent study, Masimo SET pulse oximetry technology has been acknowledged as most valuable in neonatal care. To quote Mr. Kiani, We are very happy to see that researchers around the world continue to use our technology to improve process of care, positively impacting the lives of the most vulnerable patients in the most difficult clinical conditions. Integrity and Truthfulness While leading innovation and industry change, Masimo and Mr. Kiani have also been guided by the highest principles and ethics, resulting in recognition by customers and partners alike for their integrity in conducting business. Masimo has also received high rankings by industry publications and professional societies for truthfulness in advertising. Mr. Kiani in 2005 was honored with the prestigious Monty Award from San Diego State University for his ingenious efforts in addressing the pressing need of pulse oximetry market by applying his scientific knowledge and inventing novel pulse oximeters that leverage on signal extraction technology.

ECRI Institute Announces Winner of 4th Annual Health Devices Achievement Award Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center recognized for excellence in health technology management PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA - 9302009 - ECRI Institute, an independent nonprofit that researches the best approaches to improving patient care, is pleased to announce Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center of Lebanon, New Hampshire, as the winner of the fourth annual Health Devices Achievement Award for excellence in health technology management. The Health Devices Achievement Award recognizes an outstanding initiative undertaken by an ECRI Institute member healthcare facility that improves patient safety, reduces costs, or otherwise facilitates better strategic management of health technology. Dartmouth-Hitchcocks winning submission, A Multidisciplinary Approach to Improving Patient Safety in the Adult MedicalSurgical Population through Earlier Detection of Patient Deterioration Using Surveillance Monitoring, describes an initiative designed to decrease failure to rescue (FTR) eventsinstances of severe patient harm (such as death or disability) that occur because a serious deterioration in the patients condition is not detected in time. The project was designed to reduce FTR events through a new application of pulse-oximetry monitoring: using it continuously from admission to discharge. The primary goal was to enhance nurse surveillance in the postoperative setting. A secondary goal was to reduce the number of nuisance alarms, which tend to desensitize nurses to alarms. Nurse satisfaction with the new surveillance tool was reported to be very high, and preliminary analysis indicates that the initiative has contributed to decreases in annual rescue calls and transfers to critical care. ECRI Institute identified clinical alarm hazards as the number one device-related risk on its 2009 list of Top 10 Health Technology Hazards, says James P. Keller, Jr. vice president, health technology evaluation and safety, ECRI Institute. Any effort to improve this problem can have a huge impact on patient safety. Dartmouth-Hitchcock should be commended for recognizing the problems that alarm overload can cause and taking on a project to improve the way clinicians monitor for and respond to serious changes in patient conditions. The award from ECRI Institute is a tremendous honor and a great recognition for the many people who have played a role in the deployment of this new technology, says George Blike, M. D. quality and patient safety officer for Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Creating excellence in patient care is a matter of finding and training the right people, enabling them with the right tools, and doing it all within the right environment of care. This tremendous group effort and innovative technology have combined to save lives, which is incredibly rewarding for everyone involved. Dartmouth-Hitchcocks award-winning entry will be featured in ECRI Institutes Health Devices journal and on the ECRI Institute Web site. A formal award presentation will be made by ECRI Institutes Jim Keller later this year.

Masimos Kiani: Stared Down Tyco Posted date: 3202006 By Vita Reed ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL STAFF The company became something of a media darling a few years back. Masimo was featured in the New York Times for its efforts to get its device into larger hospitals. The effort paid off. Masimo now has contracts with Premier Inc. a large, San Diego-based nonprofit that helps its member hospitals buy supplies and equipment, and Novation LLC, a rival buying group out of Irving, Texas. The companys first deal with Premier, signed in 2002, came in the wake of heavy criticism of Premiers awarding of buying pacts to larger device makers. A U. S. Senate subcommittee criticized Premier and Novation for not signing deals with smaller makers such as Masimo. Then theres Tyco. Masimo recently wrapped up a long-running patent fight with Nellcor Puritan Bennett Inc. a Tyco unit. Last fall, the U. S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D. C. upheld a 164.5 million jury award to Masimo from Nellcor. The verdict was based on a 2004 finding by a Los Angeles federal jury that Nellcors Oximax and Oxismart pulse oximeters violated Masimos patents. Back in 1999, Masimo sued Nellcor for allegedly violating patents on its motion-tolerant pulse oximetry technology. Nellcor then went on the offensive, filing lawsuits of its own against Masimos signal processing technology. Theres a warmer, fuzzier side to Masimo. At last weeks awards lunch, Travis Trask, head of the Orange County office of San Diego-based insurance brokerage Barney amp Barney LLC, related his own experience with Masimos pulse oximeter. Trask said his son was born 10 weeks early and spent 30 days in the hospital. quotEvery hour, every second evenquot he said he and his wife watched a Masimo oximeter attached to the finger of his 2-pound baby. The accuracy of the device was critical, he said. Administering oxygen after a false alarm can cause blindness in babies. Trask said his son has grown into a healthy boy. Kiani came to the U. S. at age 9 from Iran with his family. The son of an engineer and a nurse, he graduated high school at 15 and received bachelors and masters degrees from San Diego State University by 22. A married father of two, Kianis early career included working as regional technical manager for electronics distributor Anthem Electronics Inc. now part of Arrow Electronics Inc. as a field engineer for Bell Industries Inc. and as a product engineer at Unisys Corp. Kiani, who lives in Laguna Beach, holds more than 50 patents relating to signal processing, sensors and patient monitoring. Masimo, the inventor of Pulse CO-Oximetry and Read-Through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry, received the prestigious Medical Design Excellence Gold Award in 2006 for its innovative new Masimo Rainbow SET Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter. The Masimo Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter is the first and only device that allows clinicians to detect and continuously monitor carbon monoxide levels in the bloodstream non-invasively. In clinical studies and in the field, Masimo Rainbow SET is already proving itself effective in detecting carbon monoxide poisoning in seconds, allowing accurate diagnosis and early treatment of a life-threatening problem that is frequently misdiagnosed as flu or migraine. Masimo has also recently received FDA clearance for the noninvasive measurement of methemoglobin levels in the blood. A recent Johns Hopkins study found that methemoglobinemia, a potentially lethal condition that starves the tissues of oxygen, is much more common in hospitalized patients than previously realized. Joe E. Kiani, Chairman amp CEO of Masimo stated, quotWe are honored to receive this Medical Design Excellence Gold Award. We received a similar award years ago when we introduced the Radical Signal Extraction Pulse Oximeter, which was the first technology to measure oxygen saturation and pulse rate during motion and low perfusion. We take much pride that the second breakthrough in oximetry is once again developed by our engineering team. With our new Masimo Rainbow SET platform, we are collecting a much more rich data stream separated from interference, enabling us to distinguish additional blood constituents.

Barker, PhD, MD of the University of Arizona, has received the 2006 Application of Technology award from the Society for Technology in Anesthesia. The winning study, ldquoNew Pulse Oximeter Measures Carboxyhemoglobin Levels in Human Volunteersrdquo evaluated the ability of the Rad-57 to directly measure the effects of carbon monoxide inhalation in humans. The lethal effects of carbon monoxide are caused by the conversion of normal hemoglobin in the blood to an abnormal form called carboxyhemoglobin, or ldquoCOHb. rdquo Levels of COHb higher than 50 are potentially fatal, and caused the recent deaths of the coal miners in West Virginia. This study compared the COHb readings from the Rad-57 with blood sample measurements made by CO-oximeters, which are currently used to determine COHb levels in hospital laboratories. The CO-oximeter is a large, expensive machine that requires a blood sample, whereas the Rad-57 is small, portable, and measures COHb with a simple finger-clip sensor. The Arizona researchers found that the Rad-57 trade performed within its specifications, accurately measuring the changing COHb levels in the volunteersrsquo blood. The study concluded that this new technology represents a major advance in the monitoring of oxygenation. This is the second time technology pioneered by Masimo is being honored by the STA with such an award. Unmasking a silent killermdashcarbon monoxidemdashwith light waves ldquoWe believe that this device represents a major advance in patient monitoring, rdquo said Dr. Barker, the lead author and Head of the Department of Anesthesiology at University of Arizona. ldquoCarbon monoxide poisoning can be a life-threatening problem in the Operating Room, as well as in many settings outside of the hospital. This new technology allows diagnosis in seconds, even in field conditions by first responders. By allowing earlier diagnosis and treatment, this will have a significant effect on patient care. rdquo ldquoWe are delighted to hear of the award given to the University of Arizona research team, rdquo said Joe E. Kiani, Masimo Chairman and CEO. ldquoTen years ago, Dr. Barker and Masimo won a similar STA award for Masimo SET reg. or Signal Extraction Technology. At that time, our achievement was to monitor oxygen saturation levels accurately for the first time during conditions such as patient motion and low perfusion. Now, building on SET, we are able to monitor carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin levels, and soon, we hope, additional vital physiologic parameters, noninvasively. This is history repeating itself in the most encouraging way. rdquo rdquoWe are especially pleased that Dr. Barker and his colleagues on the University of Arizona research team have received this recognition, rdquo Kiani added. ldquoDr. Barker is the author of over 150 scholarly works, and one of the leading researchers in oxygen monitoring. To provide Masimo with the scientific advice we need and a strong connection to the medical community, we have invited Dr. Barker to work with us as the Chairman of our Scientific Advisory Board and as a member of the Masimo Board of Directors. I am delighted to say that he has accepted, and we will be able to lead Masimo better with his guidance. rdquo Masimo Tops the 2006 Patent Scorecards Top 10 List of Innovators in Medical Devices for Current-Impact Index trade and Technology Cycle Time trade May 10, 2006 -- Masimo Corporation receives the highest value in the Current-Impact Index of the ipIQ Medical Devices Patent Scorecard trade for 2006.

Frost amp Sullivan New Standard of Care in Patient Monitoring Award San Jose, Calif. - June 16, 2003 - Frost amp Sullivan today presented the first the 2003 New Standard of Care in Patient Monitoring Award to Masimo Corporation, a developer of advanced medical signal processing technologies instrumental in state-of-the-art noninvasive monitoring of patient vital signs, at the AMMI Conference in Long Beach, California. Aroop Zutshi, Frost amp Sullivan senior partner, presented the award to Joe E. Kiani, Chairman and CEO of Masimo Corporation, in recognition of its commitment to patient care, its successful pioneering and introduction of next-generation pulse oximetry technology, and its demonstrated improvement of patient monitoring. In 1996,1997, and 1998, Masimo introduced in Europe, Japan and the US respectively, its pioneering Signal Extraction Technology (Masimo SET reg ) solution, the first motion-tolerant and low-perfusion monitoring device, into the pulse oximetry and patient monitoring markets. Initially blocked from selling its product to the US hospitals through group purchasing organizations (GPOs), Masimo went directly to leading medical professionals and had its product assessed and compared against the leading pulse oximeters of the day. These independent studies highly favored the Masimo SET reg solution, raising the awareness of improvements in the medical community and creating strong demand for this motion-tolerant technology among healthcare workers. Prior to Masimo SET reg pulse oximetry, pulse oximeters were fraught with false alarms. In fact, approximately 90 of the pulse oximeter alarms were false with conventional pulse oximetry. The dramatic reduction in the number of false alarms, and the improvement in detection of true alarms, was felt to significantly improve the caregivers productivity as well as provide reliable continuous patient pulse oximetry data. Masimos low-perfusion technology also enables doctors and healthcare workers to measure oxygenation levels in patients which were previously unable to be measured and regulated. Clinical studies had shown that over 10 of the time pulse oximeters failed to provide any measurement during surgery in the OR. Masimo SET reg changed all of that. As a result, new standards of care are now being offered to patients from infants to geriatrics. quotThe rapid adoption of Masimo SET reg technology, by both hospitals and major patient monitoring equipment manufacturers demonstrates the value that the market has placed on this significant technological advancement, quot says Katherine Shariq, Frost amp Sullivan industry analyst. The Frost amp Sullivan New Standard of Care in Patient Monitoring Award is given to a company that has successfully developed or introduced a new or advanced version of a patient monitoring component or device, which could potentially revolutionize or reinvigorate the market. Multiple advantages over existing monitoring components clearly establish that the technology used in the field has evolved into a next-generation device. Masimo is the first company to receive such an honor over the past 15 years.

The Society for Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) has chosen Masimo Corporation as the recipient of this yearrsquos SCCM Technology Excellence Award. This award, which recognizes outstanding strides in technology which benefit critical care medicine, will be formally given to Joe E. Kiani, Founder and President of Masimo Corporation, at the SCCM Conference to be held in Orlando, Florida from February 11 through February 15. This is the first year such an award is being given to someone in the industry. The SCCM Awards had previously been given only to clinicians and non-industry researchers. According to the SCCM, ldquoMasimorsquos design convinced intensivists that pulse oximetry could work on the toughest patients and be useful during motion and low perfusion, thus raising the bar in the standards critical care medicine can now apply to future technology. rdquo ldquoIt is important that true technological innovators be recognized and rewarded for their efforts, rdquo commented Max H. Weil, MD, PhD, FCCM, Distinguished University Professor and founder of the SCCM. ldquoPrior to Masimorsquos contributions, the false alarms and unreliability of pulse oximeters were assumed to be inherent and insurmountable limitations of the measurement. Masimo did not accept this and made an intuitive leap to create what is now the new standard of performance for pulse oximeters. Having dedicated my career to advancing the care of critically ill patients, I am happy to see that better care will result and the standards are being raised as a result of Masimorsquos technological breakthrough. Masimo has truly earned this award. rdquo Masimo Corporation announced that it is the recipient of one of Frost amp Sullivanrsquos highest honors for Market Engineering: the 2000 Competitive Strategy Award. This award, based on independent research and analysis of companies in the health care industry, recognizes Masimo for its positive contribution to the blood gas monitoring equipment market. According to Frost amp Sullivan analyst, Minal Vasanawada, ldquoMasimo has made a significant impact on the industry with its successful marketing of its proprietary Signal Extraction pulse oximetry technology, Masimo SET reg. False alarms and erroneous readings due to patient and environmental factors have for long plagued pulse oximetry technology. By addressing this pressing need to have more accurate data from pulse oximeters in varied clinical settings including motion and low perfusion, Masimo has displayed a clear understanding of the primary competitive factors in this industry. Frost amp Sullivan recognizes this outstanding achievement and awards Masimo with its Competitive Strategy Award. rdquo ldquoMasimo is honored to be recognized by Frost amp Sullivan for the advancement and contribution Masimo has made in the field of pulse oximetry, rdquo said Joe E. Kiani, President and CEO of Masimo Corporation. ldquoOur goal was to solve what other companies thought was unsolvable - to make pulse oximetry accurate during motion and low perfusion. We then set out to educate the industry and health care professionals with independent clinical studies by leading clinicians around the world and true side-by-side demonstrations. Today, over 25 clinical studies by independent researchers have proven Masimo Signal Extraction Technology to be the only pulse oximetry technology accurate under the most challenging conditions of motion and low perfusion and when itrsquos needed the most. We wish to thank the dedicated clinicians who, without any personal monetary reward, have spent their valuable time and resources to study Masimo SET reg rsquos performance compared to conventional pulse oximetry and Masimo SETrsquos effect on improving patient care as well as reducing cost of care. rdquo Mr. Kiani continued, ldquoBy proving the breakthrough accuracy and reliability of Masimo SET reg technology clearly and honestly, we have been able to attract over 30 leading patient monitoring companies, who make up over 50 of the worldrsquos pulse oximeter suppliers - to adopt Masimo SET reg as their standard pulse oximetry technology. These companies have spent significant resources to upgrade their products to Masimo SET reg for the benefit of their customers they should also be honored. Receiving honors such as this Frost amp Sullivan Award and the appreciation from clinicians and patients who have been helped by our technology, renews our commitment to continue to advance signal processing and sensor technology for the benefit of patients and to be driven by a sense of fascination and accomplishment. rdquo Recently Masimo announced Radical, a product that is accelerating the standardization of Masimo SET reg pulse oximetry throughout hospitals. The Radical Signal Extraction pulse oximeter allows clinicians to get access to Masimo SET reg. It is three pulse oximeters in one: a standalone device for bedside monitoring, a detachable handheld pulse oximeter for ultra-portable monitoring and a monitor interface, called SatShare, which allows Radical to upgrade multi-parameter patient monitors to Masimo SET reg technology. Radical can provide continuous and reliable arterial oxygen saturation monitoring anywhere throughout the continuum of care. With help from some of our partners, particularly Allegiance and Datex-Ohmeda, who have vast distribution resources and flexible acquisition programs, Masimo is making it easy for clinicians to get access to Radical to standardize their hospitals to Masimo SET reg pulse oximetry.
