Masimo has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for the pediatric indication for O3 regional oximetry with the O3 pediatric sensor. Regional oximetry, also referred to as tissue or cerebral oximetry, may help clinicians monitor cerebral oxygenation in situations in which peripheral pulse oximetry alone may not be fully indicative of the oxygen in the brain. With the clearance of the O3 pediatric sensor, O3 regional oximetry monitoring, which was already available for adult patients in the United States, is now also available for pediatric patients weighing more than 5 kg (11 lbs) and less than 40 kg (88 lbs).
O3 regional oximetry uses near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to continuously monitor absolute and trended regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) in the cerebral region. Early detection and correction of imbalances in oxygen delivery to the brain are important tools in helping patients avoid postoperative morbidity and adverse outcomes.1
“O3 regional oximetry provides access to valuable data about cerebral oxygen saturation,” said Joe Kiani, founder and CEO of Masimo. “With adult and pediatric trend accuracy of 3 percent and absolute accuracy of 4 percent and 5 percent on adults and pediatrics respectively,2 without controlling CO2, Masimo O3 should help clinicians build a better picture of brain oxygenation—and hopefully better outcomes for all of their patients, including pediatrics as young as three-months old.”2
In addition, Masimo O3 regional oximetry and SedLine brain function monitoring are both available on a single platform, Masimo Root—opening up a path to better understanding of the brain.

Masimo develops noninvasive monitoring technologies. its mission is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care by taking noninvasive monitoring to new sites and applications. In 1995, the company debuted Masimo SET Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry, which has been shown in multiple studies to significantly reduce false alarms and accurately monitor for true alarms. Masimo SET has also been shown to help clinicians reduce severe retinopathy of prematurity in neonates,1 improve CCHD screening in newborns,2 and, when used for continuous monitoring with Masimo Patient SafetyNet* in post-surgical wards, reduce rapid response activations and costs.3,4,5 Masimo SET is estimated to be used on more than 100 million patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the world,6 including 16 of the top 20 hospitals listed in the 2016-17 U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll.7 In 2005, Masimo introduced rainbow Pulse CO-Oximetry technology, allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously could only be measured invasively, including total hemoglobin (SpHb), oxygen content (SpOC), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), methemoglobin (SpMet), and more recently, Pleth Variability Index (PVi) and Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi), in addition to SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (PI). In 2014, Masimo introduced Root, an intuitive patient monitoring and connectivity platform with the Masimo Open Connect (MOC-9) interface, enabling other companies to augment Root with new features and measurement capabilities. Masimo is also taking an active leadership role in mHealth with products such as the Radius-7 wearable patient monitor, iSpO2 pulse oximeter for smartphones, and the MightySat fingertip pulse oximeter.
