Masimo SET ® Is the Primary Pulse Oximetry at All 10 Top U.S. Hospitals, Monitors More Than 200 Million Patients a Year, and Has Been Shown to Have Unrivaled Accuracy and Reliability in More Than 100 Clinical Studies
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) Signal Extraction Technology ® , or SET ® , pulse oximetry - industry-leading, clinically proven, and used by top hospitals everywhere - continues to overcome the limitations of conventional pulse oximetry and offers unrivaled accuracy through ongoing innovation. As of 2024, Masimo's foundational SET ® technology is now the primary pulse oximetry technology at all ten top U.S. hospitals, 1 and is used to monitor more than 200 million patients a year around the world. 2 With more than 100 studies demonstrating its ability to outperform other pulse oximetry technologies, 3 SET ® measures with industry-best SpO 2 accuracy specifications 4 - achieved with Masimo's flagship RD SET ® sensors - through challenging conditions such as patient motion and low perfusion, across all patient populations, and on all skin tones. With decades of expertise, Masimo is now able to make SET ® available not only for traditional hospital bedside monitoring, but in tetherless sensors that promote freedom of movement, in wearable devices worn at home, in baby monitors, and in opioid overdose monitoring solutions - among many others.

Superior Performance
Masimo SET ® originated in Founder and CEO Joe Kiani's desire to find a way to monitor the oxygen saturation of those most precious of patients - neonatal infants - accurately and reliably, even though their frequent movement and poor perfusion stymied traditional pulse oximetry. SET ® overcame those seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and Masimo's continued innovation is driving significant accuracy and reliability milestones even today.
Improved Outcomes
With its breakthrough performance, Masimo SET ® made pulse oximetry a clinically useful tool. Prior to Masimo SET ® , not one study had shown that pulse oximetry led to better patient outcomes, despite its ubiquity. 11 Masimo SET ® has had, and continues to have, a significant impact not only on the lives of innumerable patients around the world, from young to old, as numerous studies have shown, but on clinician workflows, hospital finances, and even the health of our planet.
"Without SET ® , there would be no rainbow ® SpHb ® or ORi™, no Hospital Automation™ products like Root ® , Patient SafetyNet™, or Radius VSM™, and no telemonitoring solutions like Masimo SafetyNet ® or Masimo W1 ® , among so many other achievements," said Joe Kiani. "Masimo was established precisely to address the limitations of noninvasive monitoring - problems people thought were unsolvable until Masimo's inventions! We are honored to be the choice of all top ten hospitals in the U.S, but we are far from satisfied. We are committed to continuously building on our legacy of breakthrough innovation and improving the lives of people everywhere."
