Masimo Pledges to Increase Investment in Research & Development in Response to Today's Moratorium on the Medical Device Tax

Irvine, California – December 18, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI), the global innovator of noninvasive patient monitoring technologies, announced today that it will increase investment in research and development and other areas in response to the moratorium on the Medical Device Tax.

For years, the United States has led the world in life-saving medical innovations. Unfortunately, the Medical Device Tax of 2013 became an impediment to innovation that springs from start-ups. In addition, many established companies curtailed their investments in research and development and reduced their workforces to pay the new tax.

"We applaud the bipartisan efforts of Congress and the administration to suspend the medical device tax for two years," said Joe Kiani, Chairman and CEO of Masimo. "This two-year moratorium will allow us to begin to increase our investment in research and development and other areas."

Retired U.S. Senator Tom Harkin Joins Masimo's Board of Directors

Irvine, California – December 17, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI), a global innovator of noninvasive patient monitoring technologies, announced today that retired Senator Tom Harkin, former five-term U.S. Senator and former Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension (HELP) Committee, has been elected to Masimo's Board of Directors.

Senator Harkin retired from the U.S. Senate in January 2015. Senator Harkin was chairman of the Senate HELP Committee for eight years. In that role, he worked to ensure the health of our economy, guarantee access to quality education, and provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans. Senator Harkin crafted the prevention and wellness title of the country's new health reform bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Senator Harkin's signature legislation achievement was leading the effort and sponsorship of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) signed into law in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush. He later created the Clinical Trials Network to measure the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapies for those living with paralysis, and drafted the Christopher and Dana Reeve Act, passed in 2009. Prior to his retirement, Senator Harkin worked closely with President Obama to lift restrictions on embryonic stem cell research.

"For years, Tom has worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone has access to affordable, quality health care and those who are in need are not forgotten. We are honored to welcome Tom to the Board," said Joe Kiani, Chairman and CEO of Masimo. "We believe his integrity, extensive experience and insight into our complex health system, along with his dedication and passion to help those in need will be extremely valuable to Masimo."

"I've been very impressed with Masimo's innovations and contributions to healthcare," said Harkin. "I got to know Joe through his advocacy work to improve competition in healthcare, align misaligned incentives that impede patient care and the Patient Safety Movement. He has been steadfast in his commitment to improve our healthcare system through innovation and advocacy. I look forward to working with him and the rest of the board to help Masimo with its mission to improve patient care and reduce cost of care."

Senator Harkin was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1974, and 10 years later, he was elected to US Senate. Senator Harkin was born in Cumming, Iowa, where he still resides with his wife Ruth. They have two daughters and three grandchildren.

T.J. Samson is the First Hospital in Kentucky to Adopt Patient SafetyNet™

Irvine, California and Glasgow, Kentucky – December 1, 2015 – Masimo and T.J. Samson Community Hospital announced that the hospital is the first in Kentucky to install Masimo Patient SafetyNet, a remote monitoring and clinician notification system.

"Patient safety is my top priority," said Bud Wethington, Chief Executive Officer of T.J. Samson Community Hospital. "We did a lot of research in finding the system that was right for us. After trying several other systems and visiting another hospital that was utilizing Patient SafetyNet, we found it to be a perfect fit for our hospital. The installation was easier than anticipated and we were up and running in a very short amount of time."

Masimo Patient SafetyNet works in conjunction with Masimo beside monitors which provide continuous and non-invasive monitoring of oxygenation, pulse rate and respiration, and other parameters. When changes occur in the measured values, which may indicate deterioration in the patient's condition, in addition to bedside alerts, Patient SafetyNet automatically sends wireless alerts directly to clinicians. Continuous patient surveillance with Patient SafetyNet has been shown to reduce the need for rescue events and intensive care unit transfers in hospitals and, as a result, can reduce costs related to these events.^1,2

"We are so impressed when we see a community hospital equip their team with the latest in technology to better monitor their patients and improve patient safety practices," said Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. "There are much larger hospitals throughout the country that have yet to install wireless notification systems for supplemental monitoring."

India's Leading Maternity and Birthing Care Hospital Group, Cloudnine, Adopts Masimo SET^® Technology to Screen Infants for CCHD

Bangalore, India & Irvine, California – November 16, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today that Cloudnine Hospital Group – a leader in providing premier quality healthcare to women and children in India – has upgraded system-wide to Masimo SET^{^®} pulse oximetry.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect and it is estimated that nearly one out of every 100 babies is born with CHD. It has been reported that around 78,000 infants die because of congenital heart disease in India every year.¹ Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD), defined as CHD causing death or requiring invasive intervention in the neonatal period, occurs in one to two newborns per 1,000 live births.²

"We evaluated several monitors before selecting Masimo's superior SET^{^®} technology for all 16 Cloudnine Hospitals," said Dr. Kishore Kumar, Chairman and Senior Neonatologist, Cloudnine Hospitals. "Masimo SET^{^®} will enhance our existing protocols to provide superior screening and ensure that every baby born here now has the opportunity to live a healthy life. Our hope is that universal CCHD screening become mandatory for every child born in India."

"Early detection is key in this fragile patient population," said Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. "It's exciting to see the adoption of CCHD screening in India. Cloudnine's hospitals have the best in class morbidity and mortality outcomes in the country – 0% maternal mortality and a 99.83% survival rate for babies. When we developed SET^{^®}, we didn't realize how many wonderful new applications our Measure-Through Motion and Low Perfusion™ technology would make possible – so it's especially gratifying that we can help clinicians around the world save the lives of so many babies."

In a study of newborns, researchers have found CCHD was detected 63% of the time by standard screening and 83% of the time when screening with Masimo SET^{^®} was added.³ Over 100 million patients are monitored with Masimo SET^{^®} pulse oximeters around the world and in more than 100 comparative studies Masimo SET^{^®} outperformed other technologies.^4,5 Researchers have found that Masimo SET^{^®} in combination with changes in clinical practice led to an increase of 31% in the detection of newborns with CCHD when used as a part of the CCHD screening protocol.³

Cloudnine hospitals are also the first in the country to make a formal patient safety commitment to the World Patient Safety Movement Foundation. This non-profit organization is dedicated to eradicating preventable patient deaths in hospitals around the world. With this step, Cloudnine joins an elite group of over 1,200 hospitals worldwide that have made public commitments to implementing Actionable Patient Safety Solutions in their respective organizations.

In New Study EMMA^™ Capnograph Has Comparable Accuracy to Sidestream Capnography Against Gold-Standard Blood Gas Analysis

IRVINE, California – November 12, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today that in a new study that compared the end tidal carbon dioxide values (EtCO2) from both the Masimo EMMA capnograph and a conventional sidestream capnography device to the gold-standard carbon dioxide measurement, arterial blood gas (PaCO2), EMMA produced "reliable" values and had similar accuracy as sidestream capnography.¹

EMMA capnograph from Masimo.

Carbon dioxide levels in the blood reflect the degree of gas exchange occurring in the lungs and provide a critical indicator of cardio-respiratory function that aids in the assessment of the adequacy of ventilation. PaCO2 is considered the gold standard to measure carbon dioxide levels but requires invasive blood sampling and laboratory analysis that can provide intermittent and delayed measurements. EtCO2 monitoring with capnography provides a noninvasive and continuous estimate of PaCO2 and has become a standard of care in the operating room and other critical care areas.² Since 2010, the American Heart Association (AHA) has recommended the use of EtCO2 during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for "confirmation and monitoring of endotracheal tube placement."³ Conventional capnography monitors require warm-up time to calibrate and measure EtCO2 from a sampling line connected to the breathing circuit. In contrast to bulkier and slower-to-calibrate sidestream capnography monitors, the EMMA is a compact and lightweight mainstream capnograph that clips directly onto the breathing circuit with no sampling line and minimal warm-up time.

The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing by Dr. Kyung Woo Kim and colleagues from Seoul Park Hospital, College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea, compared 100 EtCO2 values from both the EMMA and sidestream capnography (Datex Ohmeda S5 Anesthesia Monitor) in 35 patients undergoing general anesthesia to PaCO2 values measured from blood gas analysis (GEM Premier 3000) of simultaneously collected arterial blood samples. Compared to PaCO2, EMMA had a bias of 6.0 mm Hg with a percent error of 18% and sidestream capnography had a bias of 3.8 mm Hg with a percent error of 20%.

The authors concluded "EMMA capnometers are viable and lighter weight alternatives to legacy capnometers, as they produce capnographs and reliable EtCO2 values rapidly despite their small size and light weight." The authors also noted that "the data used in this study were only collected in situations of stable and normal respiration under general anesthesia," and "that the limitations affecting the prediction of the PaCO2 values are in accordance with the condition of the patient."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures contained herein are a supplement to the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude the items summarized in the above table that are more fully described below. Management believes that adjustments for these items assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that these items are not indicative of the company's ongoing core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the company's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the company may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The company has presented the following non-GAAP measures on a basis consistent with its historical presentation, to assist investors in understanding the company's core net operating results on an ongoing basis: (i) non-GAAP net income attributable to Masimo Corporation stockholders, (ii) non-GAAP product revenue, (iii) non-GAAP gross profit, (iv) non-GAAP operating expenses, (v) non-GAAP non-operating income (expense), (vi) non-GAAP noncontrolling interest, and (vii) non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to Masimo Corporation stockholders. These non-GAAP financial measures may also assist investors in making comparisons of the company's core operating results with those of other companies. Management believes non-GAAP product revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP net income attributable to Masimo Corporation stockholders and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to Masimo Corporation stockholders are important measures in the evaluation of the Company's performance and uses these measures to better understand and evaluate our business.

The non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments for the following items, as well as the related income tax effects thereof:

Constant currency F/X adjustments. Some of our sales agreements with foreign customers provide for payment in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Similarly, certain of our product costs and operating expenses, and the related balance sheet payables and accruals, are denominated in foreign currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. These foreign currency revenues, costs and expenses, receivables, payables and accruals, when converted into U.S. Dollars, can vary significantly from period to period depending on the average and quarter-end exchange rates during a respective period. We believe that comparing these foreign currency denominated revenues, costs and expenses, receivables, payables and accruals by holding the exchange rates constant with the prior year period is useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis. We anticipate that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and these related constant currency and other foreign exchange adjustments will continue to occur in future periods.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Amortization of intangibles generally represents costs incurred by an acquired company or other third party to build value prior to our acquisition of the intangible assets. As such, it is effectively part of the transaction costs of the acquisition rather than ongoing costs of operating our core business. As a result, we believe that exclusion of these costs in presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides management and investors a more effective means of evaluating its historical performance and projected costs and the potential for realizing cost efficiencies within our core business. Amortization of intangibles will recur in future periods.

Litigation awards, damages and defense costs. In connection with litigation proceedings arising in the course of our business, we have previously recorded expenses as a defendant in such proceedings in the form of damages and directly-related legal fees, as well as reversals of such damages and directly-related legal fee expenses upon a court vacating a prior award against us. In addition, we have also previously recorded recoveries of damages and directly-related legal fees as a plaintiff in litigation proceedings. We believe that exclusion of these expenses, expense reversals and recoveries is useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis. In this regard, we note that these expenses, expense reversals and recoveries are generally unrelated to our core business and/or infrequent in nature.

Lease termination exit costs. The effects of lease termination exits costs are excluded resulting from the purchase of the New Hampshire manufacturing facility that Masimo previous leased.

Reconciliations between the GAAP and non-GAAP amounts for each financial statement line item are as follows:

Two New Clinical Studies Using Masimo Technologies Presented at the American Society of Anesthesiologists Annual Meeting

Irvine, California – October 29, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today that two new studies using Masimo technologies were presented at the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) annual meeting in San Diego, California, October 24-28. The conference is the largest gathering of anesthesiologists in the world.

Study Evaluating the EMMA Portable Capnometer in Children Under General Anesthesia

Carbon dioxide levels in the blood reflect the degree of gas exchange occurring in the lungs and provide a critical indictor of cardio-respiratory function that aids in the assessment of the adequacy of ventilation. In a study of 13 children (average age 18 months) undergoing surgery, Dr. Yuko Nawa and colleagues from the Hokkaido Medical Center for Child Health and Rehabilitation in Sapporo, Japan, compared the end tidal carbon dioxide values (EtCO2) from the Masimo EMMA portable capnometer and traditional sidestream capnography (GE Patient Monitor).¹ Compared to sidestream capnography, the EMMA had 95% limits of agreement of -1.3 to 2.5 mm Hg, leading the investigators to conclude that the EMMA has "good correlation with sidestream type capnometer in children" and "may be useful for general anesthesia in out-of-operating room or in case of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, bedside respiratory care and patient transportation."

Study Evaluating Pleth Variability Index in Spontaneously Breathing Adults During Regional Anesthesia

Dexmedetomidine is an intravenous drug used to sedate patients during surgery which can also cause hypertension or hypotension that may increase patient risk. In a study of 42 spontaneously breathing patients under regional anesthesia,² Dr. Makoto Sato and colleagues from Asahikawa Medical University in Hoikkado, Japan evaluated the association of baseline pleth variability index (PVI) from Masimo SET^® pulse oximetry and dexmedetomidine-induced changes in blood pressure. A baseline PVI≤15 had a 94% sensitivity, 85% specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.93 (p=0.00002) for resulting hypertension. A baseline PVI≥16 had an 83% sensitivity, 64% specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.79 (p=0.0008) for resulting hypotension. The investigators concluded, "PVI can predict dexmedetomidine-induced changes in blood pressure in spontaneously breathing patients."

About Masimo
Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is the global leader in innovative noninvasive monitoring technologies. Our 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. The benefits of Masimo SET^® have been proven in more than 100 independent and objective studies and it is estimated to be used on more than 100 million patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the world. 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 Pleth Variability Index (PVI^®), in addition to SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (PI). For the U.S. market, PVI is a measure of dynamic changes in the perfusion index (PI) that occur during the respiratory cycle. The PVI calculation is accomplished by measuring changes in PI over a time interval where one or more complete respiratory cycles have occurred. PVI is displayed as a percent (0-100%). PVI may show changes that reflect physiologic factors such as vascular tone, circulating blood volume and intrathoracic pressure excursions. The utility of PVI is unknown at this time and requires further clinical studies. Technical factors that may affect PVI include probe malposition and patient motion. The indications for EMMA include the following: 1) The EMMA Emergency Capnometer Monitor measures, displays and monitors carbon dioxide concentration and respiratory rate during anesthesia, recovery and respiratory care. It may be used in the operating suite, intensive care unit, patient room, clinic, emergency medicine and emergency transport settings for adult, pediatric and infant patients. 2) The EMMA Emergency Capnometer Analyzer measures and displays carbon dioxide concentration and respiratory rate during anesthesia, recovery and respiratory care. It may be used in the operating suite, intensive care unit, patient room, clinic, emergency medicine and emergency transport settings for adult, pediatric and infant patients.

Masimo PVI^® Evaluated in 18-Study Meta-Analysis For Ability to Help Clinicians Assess Fluid Responsiveness

NEUCHATEL, Switzerland – October 8, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today that an 18-study meta-analysis of 665 subjects reported that Masimo's Pleth Variability Index (PVI^®), available with Masimo's SET^® and rainbow^® SET^® monitoring platforms, may help clinicians assess fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients in normal sinus rhythm in the operating room and intensive care unit.¹

Clinicians commonly use intravenous fluid administration in the operating room and intensive care unit to attempt to improve blood flow, or cardiac output.² Administering either too little fluid or too much fluid can increase patient risk.² However, traditional "static" monitoring parameters such as central venous pressure (CVP) are considered unreliable to assess fluid responsiveness.² Therefore, experts recommend the use of "dynamic" parameters that measure physiologic variation over the respiratory cycle.³ Multiple dynamic parameters have been shown to help clinicians assess fluid responsiveness, but most dynamic parameters require invasive, complex, and/or costly methods. PVI is a measure of the dynamic changes in the Perfusion Index (PI) that occur during one or more complete respiratory cycles, and may show changes that reflect physiologic factors such as vascular tone, circulating blood volume, and intrathoracic pressure excursions. In contrast to other dynamic parameters, PVI is noninvasive, easily obtained with any Masimo SET^® or rainbow^® sensor, and has no incremental procedural cost.

The meta-analysis, published in the Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing by Dr. Chu and colleagues from The First Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China, combined the findings from 18 independent studies evaluating the ability of PVI to help clinicians assess fluid responsiveness. The authors reported that the pooled area under the curve (AUC) for PVI to correctly determine fluid responsiveness was 0.88 (95% confidence interval 0.84 to 0.91). The pooled sensitivity of PVI, or its ability to determine whether cardiac output would increase upon fluid administration, was 0.73 (95% confidence interval 0.68 to 0.78). The pooled specificity of PVI, or its ability to determine whether cardiac output would not increase upon fluid administration, was 0.82 (95% confidence interval 0.77 to 0.86). The authors noted that the sensitivity of PVI was greater in the operating room than in the intensive care unit (0.84 vs. 0.56, p=0.00004). The authors also noted that "the applicability of PVI may be limited by potential interference from several factors such as spontaneous breathing activity, arrhythmia, and low peripheral perfusion." Technical factors that may affect PVI include probe malposition and patient motion.

Masimo Donates $5 Million in Medical Equipment to Assist Jordan in Providing Healthcare to Over 1 Million Syrian Refugees

Relief Effort Progress Highlighted at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting in New York,
September 26-29, 2015

IRVINE, California – September 27, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced progress today at the 2015 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting towards its commitment to donate $5 million in Signal Extraction Technology^® Pulse Oximeters and Pulse CO-Oximeters^® and other medical equipment to Jordanian hospitals to help improve patient care for Syrian and Iraqi refugees, as well as Jordanian citizens. A progress report video highlighting the Masimo relief effort was featured at the Plenary Session called Investing in Prevention and Resilient Health Systems. The first shipment of equipment is already in use at Al-Bashir hospital in Amman. The rest of the equipment will arrive at the Ministry of Health Office in Jordan shortly. Masimo also committed to provide ongoing training and technical support to the clinicians in Jordan.

The wars in Syria and Iraq are one of the largest ongoing humanitarian crises in the world, with over an estimated million people seeking refuge now living within Jordan's borders, more than 600,000 of whom are registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Managing healthcare is a critical requirement of stability during crises and, while new hospitals are being built near refugee camps, the vast majority of refugees reside in existing communities, heightening the demand for health services throughout Jordan. The significant burden of providing healthcare services both for routine and emergency needs is worsening daily.

"The people of Jordan have opened their hearts and country to help their neighbors in need," said Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. "The situation in Syria keeps getting worse. The people of Jordan are our heroes – taking in the Palestinian refugees, the Iraqi refugees, then the Egyptian refugees, and now the large influx of Syrian refugees. We knew our plan for aid needed to be long-term. We not only donated the much-needed oximeters, other medical equipment, and supplies but we also committed to train and provide continued technical support for the Jordanian clinicians that assist in the front line care of the people of Jordan. The need is great and it is too overwhelming for just a few countries to shoulder. As global citizens, we all need to get involved and help the people of Syria and those trying to save them."

Masimo's commitment to Jordan is one of several ongoing CGI commitments, and was made at a roundtable meeting convened by CGI in 2014, at which President Clinton and his Majesty King Abdullah Il ibn Al Hussein of Jordan met with Masimo's Joe Kiani, among others, to discuss the humanitarian crisis.

The measurements provided by pulse oximeters are often referred to as the "fifth vital sign." In a report published by the Jordanian government, they are identified as one of the most needed pieces of hospital equipment. Pulse oximeters allow a health worker to monitor a person's oxygen levels. Confirming oxygen levels in the blood is critical as it helps identify those in need of care, those who are deteriorating, and those who are not. Pulse oximeters are widely used from health clinics to emergency departments, from surgery and the intensive care unit to the general floor. Over 100 million patients are monitored with Masimo SET^® pulse oximeters around the world and in more than 100 comparative studies Masimo SET^® outperformed other technologies. Researchers have found that Masimo SET^® in combination with changes in clinical practice led to a reduction in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)¹ and an increase of 31% in the detection of newborns with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) when used as a part of the CCHD screening protocol.² Researchers found improved outcomes³ following the installation of continuous patient monitoring with Masimo SET^® on post-surgical patients, including that zero patients suffered brain damage or died over a five-year period.⁴ A recent study with a Masimo Pulse CO-Oximeter^® (SpHb and PVI) also showed that 30-day mortality after surgeries dropped by 25%.⁵

St. Joseph Hoag Health manages the center and provides clinical and operations expertise.

"We are excited about this new addition to our wellness program," stated Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. "Our team consists of talented individuals who are passionate about saving lives. They go above and beyond each and every day. This new wellness center is designed to help our team stay healthy. When we looked at offering medical services onsite, we immediately thought of St. Joseph Hoag Health."

"Access and convenience are cited as top reasons why employees don't seek health care – it just doesn't fit readily into busy daily routines," said Richard Afable, MD, MPH, president & CEO of St Joseph Hoag Health. "St. Joseph Hoag Health is committed to partnering with companies to improve workforce health through the effective management of overall costs."

"Our collaboration with Masimo is another exciting step forward in our commitment to help people live healthier lives by being more available to them where they work and live," said Annette Walker, Executive Vice President of Strategic Services for St. Joseph Hoag Health. "The wellness center concept is about connecting with people within the ordinary patterns of their lives. Doing so provides powerful opportunities for us to make it easier for individuals – and businesses and our communities – to better maintain health and overall well-being."

St. Joseph Hoag Health operates four other wellness centers in Orange County, all of which have been launched within the past year. This includes the DRIVE Wellness Center for Western Digital, which opened in July 2015 at the company's international headquarters in Irvine. The other wellness centers (called Wellness Corners) are also in Irvine at the Jamboree Center business complex, The Village Irvine Spectrum apartments and the Park Place corporate office of St. Joseph Health (the parent organization of St. Joseph Hoag Health).

Brazil's A.C.Camargo Cancer Center Adopts Masimo SpHb for Noninvasive and Continuous Hemoglobin Monitoring

NEUCHATEL, Switzerland – August 25, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today that A.C.Camargo Cancer Center in São Paulo, Brazil has installed Masimo's noninvasive and continuous hemoglobin (SpHb^®) technology to monitor surgical patients.

Clinicians use invasive blood sampling and laboratory analysis of hemoglobin to determine hemoglobin levels and help estimate blood loss to determine need for red blood cell transfusions. However, lab-based hemoglobin is only available intermittently and results are often delayed. SpHb offers real-time visibility to changes – or lack of changes – in hemoglobin between invasive blood sampling.

"The data associating transfusion with higher mortality rates was clear, so we knew we had to implement strategies to reduce transfusions," said Dr. Eduardo Henrique Joaquim Giroud, anesthesiologist and Director of the Department of Anesthesiology at A.C.Camargo Cancer Center. "This technology enables us to noninvasively and continuously monitor hemoglobin, a strong indicator of blood loss. It provides continuous trend data which, in combination with invasive blood sampling data, helps us determine who actually needs to be transfused and the right amount of blood needed, not more, and not less."

SpHb monitoring may provide additional insight between invasive blood sampling when:

The SpHb trend is stable and the clinician may otherwise think hemoglobin is decreasing
The SpHb trend is rising and the clinician may otherwise think hemoglobin is not increasing fast enough
The SpHb trend is dropping and the clinician may otherwise think hemoglobin is stable

"For over 60 years, the A.C.Camargo Cancer Center has been serving as an international reference center for prevention, multidisciplinary treatment, teaching and research of cancer," stated Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. "We are happy to see them adopt SpHb technology through Masimo's Root^® patient monitoring and connectivity platform for the betterment of their patients."

About A.C.Camargo Cancer Center
A.C.Camargo is a private non-profit institution maintained by Antonio Prudente Foundation and is currently one of the largest integrated cancer centers worldwide. With guided activities on four pillars: prevention, treatment, education and cancer research, they serve private patients and the Unified Health System (SUS). In 2014 alone, it had 3.5 million hospital visits with 62% dedicated to patients of the Unified Health System (SUS). It currently has about 40 medical specialties and more than 4000 professionals engaged with the task of 'combating cancer patient to patient' In 2014 alone, A.C.Camargo published over 160 articles.

Masimo Renews its $1,000,000 Performance Guarantee that Masimo SET^® Technology will Outperform All Nellcor™ Pulse Oximeters

Addresses the Inaccurate and Misleading Claims that Covidien Continues to Make Regarding Nellcor Pulse Oximetry Performance

Irvine, California – July 13, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) the inventor of measure-through motion and low perfusion pulse oximetry, today renewed its $1,000,000 (USD) performance guarantee that Masimo SET^® Pulse Oximetry will outperform all Nellcor (part of Covidien and now Medtronic) pulse oximeters. Under the guarantee, if Masimo SET is proven not to be superior to all Nellcor pulse oximeters, including the three that Covidien announced have received FDA 510(k) clearance with motion claims, Masimo will pay up to $1,000,000 to help a hospital acquire that pulse oximetry.

"As a medical technology company, we believe it is our obligation to be truthful and open in our advertising because ultimately patient care is at issue. We continue to be perplexed by the misleading marketing tactics of our competitor," stated Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. "We are concerned that customers may be misled and we hope our guarantee will cause them to question what they are being told and evaluate the performance of the technologies for themselves."

In addition to renewing the $1 million guarantee, Masimo has updated its website to respond to each of the inaccurate and misleading claims in detail: https://www.masimo.com/nellcorfiction/

Masimo makes four promises to every hospital that to date, Covidien has not been willing to make:

We will demonstrate the superior pulse oximetry performance of Masimo SET^® over Nellcor in a side-by-side comparison.

We will provide independent and objective scientific evidence of Masimo SET^® superiority over Nellcor, as well as the evidence demonstrating Masimo SET^® helps clinicians improve clinical and financial outcomes.

We strongly encourage scientific side-by-side evaluations of Masimo SET^® and Nellcor pulse oximetry in challenging conditions with automated data collection.

We are so confident that an objective comparison will reveal the clinical superiority of Masimo SET^®, we continue to offer a $1,000,000 performance guarantee.

Please note: This offer is available only to hospitals whose goal is to upgrade their pulse oximetry hospital-wide to the new standard. Important details, conditions, and qualifications for the challenge are available at http://www.masimo.com/1millionrules.htm.

Turkey's Leading University Hospital Adopts Masimo SpHb for Continuous Noninvasive Haemoglobin Monitoring

NEUCHATEL, Switzerland – June 30, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today that Turgut Ozal Medical Centre Liver Hospital in Malatya, Turkey has installed Masimo's noninvasive, continuous haemoglobin (SpHb^®) technology to monitor surgical patients.

SpHb is a breakthrough measurement that noninvasively and continuously measures total haemoglobin in the blood, and offers real-time visibility to changes – or lack of changes – in haemoglobin between invasive blood sampling. Laboratory haemoglobin values are only available intermittently and are often delayed. Clinicians can estimate blood loss, but this can both overstate and understate actual blood loss.^1,2

"In many cases with severe bleeding during liver transplantation, we had to do the blood transfusion on the patient without having the opportunity to send a sample or the time required to obtain the results," said Professor Dr. Hüseyin Ilksen Toprak, anaesthesiologist at Turgut Ozal Medical Centre. "Sometimes, the amount of blood transfused exceeded that required by the patient. However, today, thanks to routine SpHb monitoring, I am able to immediately visualize both the level of bleeding and the therapeutic effect."

SpHb monitoring may provide additional insight between invasive blood sampling when:

The SpHb trend is stable and the clinician may otherwise think haemoglobin is dropping
The SpHb trend is rising and the clinician may otherwise think haemoglobin is not rising fast enough
The SpHb trend is dropping and the clinician may otherwise think haemoglobin is stable

"In the area of liver transplantation, Turgut Ozal Medical Centre is recognized as one of the top five hospitals in the world," stated Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. "Their hospital was designed to be one of the most modern in the country. They had already been using our SET^® Measure-Through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry. We are happy to see them adopt SpHb technology through Masimo's Root^® patient monitoring and connectivity platform."

The Turgut Ozal Medical Centre is in the campus of the Inonu University. The hospital has 16 floors, 1024 beds, 31 services, 12 intensive care units and 26 operating rooms. In addition to liver transplants, the medical centre also handles kidney transplants, bone marrow transplants and burn injuries.

In the U.S., Masimo rainbow^® SET pulse co-oximeter instruments and sensors are indicated to provide noninvasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and pulse rate (PR), carboxyhaemoglobin saturation (SpCO^®), methaemoglobin saturation (SpMet^®), total Haemoglobin concentration (g/dl SpHb), and/or respiration rate (RRa^®). SpHb monitoring is intended to supplement, not replace, laboratory measurements. Blood samples should be analysed by laboratory instruments when possible prior to clinical decision-making.

Masimo iSpO2 Pulse Oximeter Set to Measure Audience Reaction to "Personal Gold" Documentary Celebrating U.S. Olympic Silver Medalists

Quantified Self Conference + Expo in San Francisco Offers Ideal Setting for
Social Experiment

IRVINE, California – June 18, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI), maker of breakthrough Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion^™ pulse oximetry, announced today that for the first time moviegoers attending a screening of the award-winning documentary "Personal Gold: An Underdog Story" will use Masimo's iSpO2^® pulse oximeter to help review the film.

MightySat^™ fingertip pulse oximeter provides oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), perfusion index (PI), and Pleth Variability Index (PVI^®).

Select attendees of the "Personal Gold" screening at the QS15 Quantified Self Conference + Expo this weekend will receive an iSpO2 to track their blood oxygenation and pulse rate during the film. The Personal Gold team will overlay, graph and post the measurements on a timeline showing physiological reactions to the movie.

The film features the consumer version of Masimo's iSpO2 pulse oximeter. Masimo has since introduced the MightySat fingertip pulse oximeter with optional Bluetooth capability, enabling consumers to track and trend oxygenation and pulse rate measurements on their iOS or select Android mobile devices.

Heralded as "Miracle on Ice-meets-Moneyball" by Wall Street Journal reporter Reed Albergotti, "Personal Gold" gives a behind-the-scenes experience of four underdog women cyclists who become America's hope for a medal at the 2012 London Olympics after the men's team was banned during the Lance Armstrong drug scandal. The underfunded women relied on pulse oximetry and other technologies as part of an innovative "Data not Doping" training regimen to win the first U.S. Women's Track Cycling medal in more than 20 years.

Cover for movie: Personal Gold - An Underdog Story

"We believe this is the first time a pulse oximeter has been used to help 'review' a movie," said Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. "Masimo is dedicated to taking noninvasive monitoring to new sites and applications. The Quantified Self Expo offers an ideal setting to noninvasively measure physiological changes of viewers as they watch this inspiring film."

"'Personal Gold' is more than a must-see Olympic story – it's a film that expertly explores the intersection of sports, science and ingenuity," said Gary Wolf, contributing editor at Wired and host of this weekend's screening. "Without access to the tools of self-measurement, such as the noninvasive pulse oximetry device we'll be using at the screening this weekend, these heroic athletes would not have had a chance to make history. For these women, Quantified Self techniques meant the difference between standing on the side lines and standing atop a podium."

New Study Presented at the 2015 Euroanaesthesia Congress Evaluated the Impact on Mortality and Morbidity with Masimo SpHb and PVI

NEUCHATEL, Switzerland, June 5, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today a new clinical study presented at the European Society of Anaesthesiology's Euroanaesthesia 2015 Annual Congress in Berlin, Germany. The study evaluated Masimo's parameters of noninvasive, continuous haemoglobin, SpHb^®, and fluid responsiveness, PVI^®, with patients in hospital settings.*

Dr. Sebastien Ponsonnard and researchers at CHU Limoges, Department of Anaesthesiology & Intensive Care, in Limoges, France, evaluated the impact on mortality and morbidity in patients who underwent general anaesthesia at the hospital after the introduction of Masimo SpHb continuous haemoglobin measurement and response to fluid loading by PVI.¹

Operating rooms and ICUs were equipped with Masimo Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter^® monitors. Over a six-month period (Feb. 6-Aug. 7, 2014), patients receiving general anaesthesia were monitored noninvasively.

At one month, mortality decreased in 2014 (vs. 84/5123 = 1.64% vs. 121/5478 = 2.2%, P = 0.024). In-hospital mortality was not different between the two years. Death in cardiothoracic surgery was slightly lower (P = 0.07).

Researchers concluded: "These results suggest that by using a non-invasive monitor, measuring SpHb and fluid loading responsiveness is possible on a large scale. The observed reduction of mortality agrees with multi-centric randomized studies using more invasive monitoring systems2 and support the large use of such a device."

@ESA_HQ
@MasimoInnovates

* For CE Marking:

The Radical-7 is intended for the continuous and noninvasive monitoring of SpO2, SpCO, SpMet and SpHb.
The Radical-7 with PVI has been clinically evaluated for fluid responsiveness measurements.

For the US market:

The Radical-7 is indicated for the continuous and noninvasive monitoring of SpO2, SpCO, SpMet and SpHb.
The Radical-7 with PVI is a measure of dynamic changes in the perfusion index (PI) that occur during the respiratory cycle. The PVI calculation is accomplished by measuring changes in PI over a time interval where one or more complete respiratory cycles have occurred. PVI is displayed as a percent (0-100%). PVI may show changes that reflect physiologic factors such as vascular tone, circulating blood volume and intrathoracic pressure excursions. The utility of PVI is unknown at this time and requires further clinical studies. Technical factors that may affect PVI include probe malposition and patient motion.

Ponsonnard S, Yonnet S, Marin B, Cros J, Ben Miled S, Nathan N.

Court Upholds Award of $467 Million to Masimo for Philips' Patent Infringement

Irvine, California – May 19, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI), inventor of breakthrough noninvasive Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion^™ pulse oximetry and rainbow^{^®} Pulse CO-Oximetry^™, announced today that the Delaware federal court upheld a jury verdict of $467 million against Philips Electronics North American Corporation and Philips Medizin Systeme Boblingen GMBH for infringing two Masimo patents.

In so doing, the District Court rejected all of Philips' numerous invalidity challenges, denied Philips' motion for a new trial, denied Philips' motion to lower the damages award, and held that Masimo did not commit inequitable conduct in obtaining one of the infringed patents. Because the District Court also determined that Philips had pled a misuse defense, which had been stayed earlier in the case, the court asked that the parties submit proposals on how to proceed.

After years of unsuccessfully trying to reach an out-of-court solution to Philips' patent infringement of Masimo's breakthrough Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry technology, on Feb. 3, 2009, Masimo filed its patent infringement action in Delaware. Philips asserted, among other things, that it did not infringe Masimo's patents, although it later conceded infringement, and then argued Masimo's patents were invalid. After a 10-day trial, a jury on Oct. 1, 2014 returned a verdict in favor of Masimo on every issue and awarded Masimo $466,774,783 in damages.

Joe Kiani, founder and CEO of Masimo said, "This ruling reaffirms Masimo's innovative creation of measure-through-motion pulse oximetry that has dramatically improved patient care worldwide."

Perioperative Enhanced Recovery Program that Included Masimo PVI Led to Significant Reductions in Length of Stay, Complications and Costs

Neuchatel, Switzerland – May 14, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today a study published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons found that implementing a multidisciplinary perioperative Enhanced Recovery protocol that included intraoperative fluid management guided by a goal-directed algorithm using Masimo PVI^® led to significant reductions in length of stay (LOS), complication rates, and cost for patients undergoing both open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery.¹

Masimo's noninvasive PVI is a measure of the dynamic changes in the perfusion index that occur during one or more complete respiratory cycles.

In the retrospective study of the Enhanced Recovery program implemented at the University of Virginia (UVA), Dr. Robert Thiele and colleagues compared the results of 109 patients managed with the program to 98 consecutive patients before the program was implemented. The Enhanced Recovery program included ingestion of a carbohydrate drink two hours prior to surgery, pre-operative multimodal analgesic regimen, goal-directed therapy with Masimo's PVI, intraoperative low-dose spinal morphine, limiting intraoperative opiates, intraoperative infusions of ketamine and lidocaine (continued 48 hours post-operatively), early mobilization, and oral intake post-operatively.

Researchers observed that, as compared to the standard of care group, patients in the Enhanced Recovery program had:

2.3 fewer days of hospitalization (4.6 ± 3.6 vs 6.8 ± 4.7, p = 0.0002)
Reduced mean direct cost ($13,306 vs $20,435, equating to savings of $777,061, p < 0.001)
Fewer surgical site infections (7.3% vs 20.4%, p = 0.008)
Less fluid administered (848 mL vs 2,733 mL, p < 0.0001)
Lower total hospital morphine equivalents (63.7 mg vs 281 mg, p < 0.0001)
Considerable improvements in patient satisfaction scores
- Overall satisfaction increased to the 59th percentile, from 26th
- "Felt ready for discharge" increased to the 99th percentile, from 41st
- Satisfaction with pain control increased to the 98th percentile, from 43rd
- Likelihood that patients would recommend the hospital increased to the 89th percentile, from 32nd

Researchers stated: "The 2.3-day reduction in LOS for the 109 patients on the ER protocol equated to a savings of 261 patient-bed days. Given that the UVA institutional average LOS is 5.5 days, this allowed the Medical Center to admit 47.5 additional patients during this time period as the direct result of the protocol."

The study concluded: "Implementation of an ER protocol led to improved patient satisfaction and significant reduction in LOS, complication rates, and cost for patients undergoing both open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery. These data demonstrate that small investments in the perioperative environment can lead to large returns."

Masimo's MightySat Pulse Oximeter Monitoring Elite Athletes at Vertical Blue Freediving Competition

IRVINE, California & LONG ISLAND, Bahamas – April 29, 2015 – For the first time in freediving history, Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI), maker of breakthrough Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry, has equipped the Suunto Vertical Blue freediving competition with consumer versions of MightySat^® fingertip pulse oximeters.

Dr. Stig Severinsen (left) demonstrates Masimo's MightySat fingertip pulse oximeter with the 2015 Vertical Blue freediving safety team.

Vertical Blue, dubbed "the Wimbledon of freediving" by the New York Times, runs April 27-May 7. The elite event is held each year at Dean's Blue Hole, Long Island, Bahamas – the world's deepest known underwater sinkhole at 663 feet. This year 24 freedivers from 13 countries will take the plunge in three different disciplines: constant weight (CWT), free immersion (FIM) and constant no-fins (CNF).

Before dives, freedivers typically prepare with physical, mental and breath-holding exercises to slow their metabolism, heart rate, breath rate, and the level of carbon dioxide in their bloodstream. Despite these precautions, freedivers risk shallow- and deep-water blackouts. At Vertical Blue, all competitors will be under supervision of a safety team, sponsored by Masimo.

Additionally, Dr. Stig Severinsen, four-time freediving world champion and holder of the Guinness Book of World Records for an underwater breath hold (22 minutes), will monitor blood oxygenation, pulse rate and other parameters throughout the 10-day competition using a MightySat. Severinsen's monitoring will advance the understanding of what event organizers call one of the world's fastest-growing sports.

"The monitoring of these world-class athletes with this new state-of-the-art device should hopefully yield information to be used for improved training and competition protocols," Severinsen said. "The wireless MightySat from Masimo contains advanced technology to deliver reliable, noninvasive measurements on oxygen saturation levels and pulse rate, making it easy to sample and store data even under extreme conditions, such as high and low temperatures and during states of low perfusion."

"Vertical Blue is looking forward to collaborating this year with Masimo, as part of our efforts to be more informed as to the fascinating physiological changes that occur during deep breath-hold dives," said William Trubridge, 15-time freediving champion and founder of Vertical Blue. "Using Masimo equipment, we can collect more data and monitor our athletes throughout the event, with very simple and noninvasive protocols. We're looking forward to seeing the results!"

MightySat is available in three versions – each provides oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and perfusion index (PI) measurements in a compact, battery-powered design with a large color screen that can be rotated for real-time display of the pleth waveform as well as measurements. Features include:

> Signal I.Q.^® to assess measurement confidence

> Rugged, lightweight design for operation in challenging environments

> Long battery life–up to 15 hours with two standard AAA alkaline batteries

> Optional Bluetooth LE wireless functionality enables measurement display via a free, downloadable app on iOS and Android mobile devices as well as the ability to trend and communicate measurements

> Optional PVI version for those who want to use their pulse oximeter to evaluate another physiologic dimension. MightySat is the only fingertip pulse oximeter available with Pleth Variability Index (PVI) measurement. (PVI is a measure of the dynamic changes in the perfusion index (PI) that occur during the respiratory cycle.)

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Presents Masimo CEO Joe Kiani with Intellectual Property Champion Award

Irvine, California – April 23, 2015 – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global IP Center presented Joe Kiani, founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI), with the 2015 Life Sciences IP Champion Award at a ceremony commemorating World IP Day in Washington, D.C.

Joe Kiani, founder, CEO of Masimo.

Mr. Kiani has more than 65 patents in his name and more than 575 patents issued or filed by Masimo, in medical technologies related to noninvasive patient monitoring. Mr. Kiani is the first individual in the Life Sciences category to receive this prestigious award. He was selected for his pioneering work in life sciences, his prolific patent portfolio, his passion for innovation, and his advocacy for strong intellectual property protection in the United States and across the globe.

"IP Champion Awards celebrate life-saving cures, amazing inventions, creative content, ground-breaking entrepreneurs, and protection efforts across a range of industries and geographies," Brian Noyes, executive director of strategy and communications at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Global IP Center. "IP Champions demonstrate how innovation enriches our lives, and how intellectual property is key to their development."

The Global IP Center noted that the U.S. economy is driven by the need to innovate, create, and develop new ways to serve consumers, and that intellectual property protection plays an essential role. When inventors, researchers, engineers, artists, and entrepreneurs know that their work will be protected and rewarded through strong IP rights – including patents, trademarks, and copyrights – they have the certainty and the incentive to keep the economy-boosting innovations coming.

"I am honored to receive this award. Innovation is not only vital for improving patients' lives but is also the cornerstone of our economy. My company was built on breakthrough innovations that not only made noninvasive pulse oximetry reliable, but made noninvasive monitoring of hemoglobin, carbon monoxide, and many other blood constituents possible. Without the promise of a strong IP system to defend our innovation, we wouldn't have been able to raise the more than $90 million in venture capital financing we needed to break even," said Joe Kiani, founder and CEO of Masimo "However, to be a champion of innovation means so much more to me. In the middle of more than 100 billion galaxies each with billions of stars and all of the the surrounding forces, innovation is crucial for the survival of the human race. To be on the side of a strong and deliberate IP system that fosters innovation, is to be on the right side of history."

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce created the Global Intellectual Property Center to meet the serious criminal and policy threats facing investors, IP-industries, and consumers. Today, the organization is leading a worldwide effort to champion intellectual property rights as vital to creating jobs, saving lives, advancing global economic growth, and generating breakthrough solutions to global challenges.

Masimo Announces Patient SafetyNet Series 5000 with Iris Connectivity and MyView

Bringing Connected Care and Enhancing Clinician Workflow from the Operating Room to the Medical and Surgical Unit

Irvine, California – April 13, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) today announced the debut of Patient SafetyNet Series 5000™ along with Iris™ Connectivity and MyView™ through the Root^® patient monitoring and connectivity platform at the HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition in Chicago. This series of Patient SafetyNet offers a new level of interoperability designed to enhance clinician workflows, and reduce the cost of care, from operating rooms to medical-surgical units.

Today's medical-surgical units utilize intermittent vital signs spot checks, standalone monitoring systems, and a host of disparate legacy devices, which become isolated stores of valuable patient data. Existing approaches for device interoperability typically require separate hardware, software, and/or network infrastructure, which can clutter the patient room, increase complexity, burden IT management, and increase costs.

A New Level of Data Integration & Workflow Optimization

Masimo's Patient SafetyNet Series 5000 with Iris enables Root to intake data from all devices connected to the patient, acting as an in-room patient monitor and connectivity hub. Alarms and alerts for all devices are seamlessly forwarded to the patient's clinician and all device data are effortlessly documented in the patient's electronic medical record (EMR).

The patient-centric user interface of Patient SafetyNet Series 5000 displays near real-time data from all devices, providing a single unified dashboard of patient information. Having such a holistic view can enable caregivers to more quickly assess patient status allowing for faster clinical decisions.

To simplify documentation of patient data, Root enables clinicians to easily verify and send patient vitals, as well as all connected medical device information data to the EMR directly from Root. Data can also be sent to the EMR periodically. An interface between the Patient SafetyNet Series 5000 Appliance and the hospital ADT system allows clinicians to receive ADT information on Root for positive patient identification at the bedside. Clinicians can also manually enter additional data on the Root device, including temperature, blood pressure, level of consciousness, pain score, and urine output.

Personalized Displays & Reporting with MyView™

MyView is a wireless, presence-detection system that enables clinicians to automatically display customized clinical profiles on Masimo devices, such as Root, Radical-7, and the Patient SafetyNet View Station. When a clinician approaches the device, a clinician-worn MyView badge signals the device to display a preselected set of parameters and waveforms tailored to the individual clinician's preferences.

MyView allows clinicians the ability to consume medical device information in a manner that is most conducive to optimizing their workflow, while the presence mapping data collected by all the Masimo devices can provide information on how clinicians spend time with their patients. This allows nursing leadership and management the opportunity to examine analytical data on patient and clinician interactions to optimize workflows across the unit, hospital, or hospital system.

In 2012, The Joint Commission Sentinel Event Alert on the safe use of opioids in hospitals recommended implementation of better dosing along with continuous oxygenation and ventilation monitoring (instead of spot checks) in post-surgical patients.¹ After implementing Masimo SET^® and Patient SafteyNet remote monitoring and wireless notification system in a post-surgical floor where only intermittent spot-checking was used before, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center reduced rapid response activations by 65%* and ICU transfers by 48%,² and realized $1.48 million in annual opportunity cost savings. Based on the results in this single unit, Dartmouth expanded the system to all seven of its medical-surgical units and had zero patients experience brain injury or death over a five-year period.³

"Medical device interoperability is a key component to improving clinical decision-making, patient safety, and clinician workflow," said Joe Kiani, founder and CEO of Masimo. "Unfortunately many technical and corporate barriers can make achieving interoperability challenging for hospitals. Our goal with Patient SafetyNet Series 5000, Root with Iris, and MyView is to eliminate these barriers and offer innovation that automates patient care with open, scalable, and standards-based connectivity solutions."

Illinois Fire Service Institute Is First to Train Firefighters on New Carbon Monoxide Safety Standard

Irvine, California – April 2, 2015 – The world-renowned Illinois Fire Service Institute has become the site of the first program in the nation to train firefighters on new safety standards designed to better protect firefighters from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, including use of Masimo's first and only FDA-cleared arterial blood CO monitor, SpCO^® technology, to noninvasively monitor CO levels in the blood.

Hosted by the City of Champaign (Ill.) Fire Department in cooperation with the Illinois Fire Service Institute, this program set the course for national training efforts. Hundreds of firefighters from the Champaign Fire Department and across Illinois recently took part in a three-day training course, triggered by the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) newly updated Fire Rehabilitation Standard (NFPA 1584), which requires firefighters exposed to smoke at incident scenes and during training to be assessed for CO poisoning. Firefighters using Masimo rainbow SET technology to measure carbon dioxide levels in their blood after fighting fire Randolph Mantooth, a national advocate for CO monitoring and firefighter safety who is recognized for his role as Los Angeles County firefighter/paramedic John Gage in the television show, "Emergency!", delivered the opening remarks for the course. With the support of the Congressional Fire Services Institute and other organizations, Masimo is helping departments and agencies nationwide implement the new standard through peer-reviewed training programs.

Exposure to CO – a tasteless, odorless, invisible gas – puts firefighters at significant risk, as even mild CO poisoning can cause mental confusion, which can lead to poor decision-making that puts both the exposed firefighter and others in jeopardy.¹ CO poisoning also poses long-term health risks. Heart injury is a frequent consequence of moderate to severe CO poisoning,² while consistent exposure to CO poisoning may cause long-term heart and neurological damage.³ CO poisoning is often misdiagnosed because symptoms are similar to the flu.⁴

Masimo's rainbow^® SET technology provides noninvasive carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO), a measure of CO in the blood, from a single multi-wavelength finger sensor that also provides two other vital signs measurements required by the NFPA 1584 standard, oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate.

Gary Ludwig, fire chief of the Champaign Fire Department and well-known author and speaker said, "The training that was delivered was invaluable. I've heard nothing but positive comments from the firefighters who took the class, and we were particularly impressed with the ability to noninvasively monitor CO levels at the scene. We all believe that firefighters should go home at the end of their shift. This important class will help us to make sure we are rehabbing and medically monitoring our firefighters during operations."

New Clinical Study Presented at the International Anesthesia Research Society's Annual Meeting Shows Benefit of Masimo's Oxygen Reserve Index, ORI

Irvine, Calif. – March 30, 2015 – Masimo's (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today that a new clinical study presented at the International Anesthesia Research Society's2015 Annual Meeting showed that Masimo's latest noninvasive patient monitoring parameter, Oxygen Reserve Index™ or ORI™, could help clinicians in the

early detection of an impending desaturation in patients receiving supplemental oxygen.¹

Pulse oximetry (SpO2) provides noninvasive and continuous visibility to arterial blood oxygenation in hypoxia and normoxia (normal oxygenation). Clinicians often use arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), which can be intermittent and delayed, to monitor levels of hyperoxia (higher than normal oxygenation). Between invasive sampling, changes in PaO2 can be difficult to assess, and therefore hypoxia or hyperoxia can occur unexpectedly.

ORI, Masimo's 11th rainbow^® parameter2, is a relative index of the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) in the range of 100 to 200 mmHg. ORI is intended to supplement, not replace, SpO2 monitoring and PaO2 measurements. In the retrospective study conducted at Loma Linda University School of Medicine in Loma Linda, Calif., Dr. Richard Applegate, M.D., and colleagues evaluated the relationship between ORI and PaO2 of 103 patients who underwent surgery in which arterial catheterization was planned.

Researchers included for analysis 1,540 ORI samples using a Masimo Radical-7^® Pulse CO-Oximeter^®. Regression analysis was used to compare PaO2 from clinically indicated arterial blood gas samples to ORI and calculated changes in ORI (ΔORI) to calculated changes in PaO2 (ΔPaO2).

During a total of 2,377 monitored hours, researchers found that ORI could be calculated about 91.5% of that time, and indicated that ORI was a noninvasive method for measuring moderate hyperoxia (PaO2 was ≥150 mmHg in 96.5% of ORI >0.54, while PaO2 was >100 mmHg for all ORI >0.24).

Investigators noted; "An ORI decrease to near 0.24 may provide early warning of declining PaO2 approaching 100 mmHg," such as during procedures that mandate apnea or one lung ventilation; during difficult intubation; trauma patients with pulmonary contusion or massive resuscitation, and that "the ability to detect PaO2 ≥150 mmHg by ORI >0.54 may prove useful for titrating (fraction of inspired oxygen) FiO2."

Researchers concluded: "For intraoperative PaO2 between 240 and 100 mmHg, decrease in ORI appears to provide a clinically useful indication of falling PaO2 before desaturation," and further stated, "Use of this technology could allow for early detection of impending hypoxia in the critical care setting, particularly in patients with congestive heart failure, which would lead to more rapid treatment and possibly mitigate the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation."

Radical-7^® with Root has a CE Mark with the ORI parameter and is not FDA cleared and is not available for sale in the United States.

Penn Highlands DuBois Installs Masimo SedLine Brain Function Monitoring

DuBois, Penn., & Irvine, Calif., March 26, 2015 - Penn Highlands DuBois - with one of the best hospital safety scores as reported by the Leapfrog Group – announced today it has selected Masimo's (NASDAQ: MASI) SedLine^® brain function monitoring through the Root^® patient monitoring and display platform to monitor patients under anesthesia or sedation. Penn Highlands DuBois had been using Bispectral Index^TM (BIS^TM) technology from Covidien.

"SedLine gives us more data on depths of anesthesia, and the Root technology platform allows us more additional Masimo MOC-9 technology options down the road to expand to fit our critical care monitoring needs," said Aaron DeVallance, MSN, CRNA, Director of Anesthesia at Penn Highlands. "The real-time numbers are faster to display – so it gives us a rapid update on the anesthetic status of our patients, allowing for a faster response time and more timely decisions."

Root offers Masimo's SedLine^® brain function monitoring, which provides four channels of EEG to help clinicians better understand the effects of anesthesia on the brain. SedLine measures the effects of anesthesia and sedation by monitoring both sides of the brain's electrical activity. As such, SedLine provides a wealth of EEG-based data, which can help clinicians monitor anesthesia.

<ulrole="presentation" style="width: 100%;">

"Time matters, of course, when it comes to clinical decisions," DeVallance added. "But SedLine also offers us cost savings. We're not over-sedating patients, so we're not wasting (anesthesia) gases."

"We are proud that after careful consideration, Penn Highlands DuBois selected Masimo Root with Sedline for its brain functioning monitoring needs," said Dr. Stephen Barker, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of Masimo. "Sedline can help continuously monitor a patient's level of anesthesia and sedation in the OR and ICU settings, enabling clinicians to monitor anesthesia."

Korean Regulators Clear Masimo PVI^®for Clinical Use

Neuchatel, Switzerland – February 26, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today that the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) and the Korean Health Technology Assessment (HTA) group have cleared Masimo's noninvasive PVI^® – a measure of the dynamic changes in the perfusion index that occur during one or more complete respiratory cycles – for clinical use.

Korean regulators determined that PVI is an effective, noninvasive way to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. Regulators concluded PVI has higher accuracy of diagnosis compared to static indices (central venous pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure), and similar accuracy diagnosis with dynamic indices (cardiac output variability, pulse pressure variability, blood volume amplitude variability, systolic pressure variability). They stated:

"Pleth Variability index (PVI) measurement measures pleth variability non-invasively with the sensor on the skin of patients, so that there is no issue for safety.
"Therefore, PVI is safe and effective as (an) alternative non-invasive PVI measurement to predict fluid responsiveness of machine respiration patients who need fluid supply."

Clinicians commonly use fluid administration to improve haemodynamics before, during and after surgery. Assessment of fluid responsiveness – the ability of the circulation system to increase cardiac output in response to volume expansion – is essential to guide fluid therapy and optimize preload.¹ Too little fluid administration can result in low perfusion in peripheral tissue, but too much fluid administration can result in patients failing to respond to any amount of volume expansion,^2,3 as well as fluid overload postoperatively.^4,5

This clearance by Korean regulators is similar to the decision of the French Society for Anaesthesia and Intensive Care (SFAR), which in 2013 added PVI to guidelines for optimal haemodynamic management during surgery.⁶ Similar to Korean authorities, SFAR recommends the use of "dynamic" parameters such as PVI that measure variations over the respiratory cycle.

"We're excited to see another major country approve for clinical use another one of our important noninvasive, physiological measurements," said Masimo founder and CEO Joe Kiani. "From PVI, to our rainbow measurements that include noninvasive haemoglobin, carbon monoxide, and our newest noninvasive parameter, Oxygen Reserve Index or ORI, that can help clinicians optimize oxygenation before and during prolonged intubation, Masimo continues to innovate ways to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care by advancing and creating new noninvasive measurements."

PVI is available with any Masimo SET^® or rainbow^® sensor.

Fourth quarter 2014 product revenues rose 14% to $153.9 million, compared to $134.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, and total revenue, including royalties, rose 14% to $161.8 million, up from $142.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The unfavorable effect of foreign currency movements adversely impacted fourth quarter product revenues by approximately $3.4 million.

The company's worldwide direct product revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014 rose by 14% compared to the same period in 2013 and represented 86% of total product revenue. OEM sales, which accounted for 14% of total product revenue, rose by 18% compared to the same period in 2013. Revenue from sales of Masimo rainbow^® products declined by 4% to $14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $14.8 million in the prior year period.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $21.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013. Fourth quarter 2013 results were negatively impacted by $0.15 per diluted share charges related to selected inventory and equipment write-downs, as well as an arbitration award ruling that was subsequently vacated on appeal and reversed in the first quarter of 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the company shipped approximately 44,100 SET^® pulse oximetry and rainbow^® Pulse CO-Oximetry™ units, excluding handheld units. Masimo estimates its worldwide installed base as of January 3, 2015 to be 1,313,000 units, up 9% from 1,205,000 units as of December 28, 2013.

Joe Kiani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Masimo, said, "We are happy that the fourth quarter product revenue growth reflected a continuation of the recovery in our core business that began in the third quarter. I am also happy that our value engineering efforts are, as we expected, continuing to result in higher sequential gross profit margins. Both of these factors, coupled with our continued focus on overall operating expense control, have begun to show the operating leverage opportunity that exists within our business model."

As of January 3, 2015, Masimo's cash and cash equivalents were $134.5 million, compared to $95.5 million as of December 28, 2013. During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased 27,659 shares of stock for $0.6 million, resulting in total 2014 stock repurchases of approximately 4.5 million shares for $102.5 million.

2015 Financial Guidance
Masimo today is providing 2015 financial guidance. Due to the significant movement in foreign exchange rates over the last four months, and the assumption that those rates will continue throughout 2015, Masimo is, for the first time, providing an estimate of the impact of these foreign exchange rates on its 2015 GAAP financial guidance. Masimo expects fiscal 2015 GAAP total revenues to be approximately $605 million. Masimo expects fiscal 2015 GAAP total product revenues to be $577 million, including an estimated $20 million revenue reduction due to unfavorable 2015 foreign exchange rate assumptions impacting product revenues compared to 2014 actual foreign exchange rates. In addition, Masimo expects approximately $28 million in fiscal 2015 royalty revenues. Masimo also expects fiscal 2015 GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $1.30, including an estimated $0.15 reduction due to the more unfavorable 2015 foreign exchange rate assumptions impacting revenues, cost of sales and operating expenses compared to the 2014 actual foreign exchange rates. Masimo will provide additional financial information during the conference call today. Each of the components of Masimo's guidance set forth above is an estimate only and actual performance could differ.

National Fire Protection Association Issues Updated Standard Requiring Firefighters Exposed to Fire Smoke to be Assessed for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning at Incident Scenes and During Training

Irvine, California – February 12, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI), the inventor of Masimo SET^® Measure-Through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry and rainbow^® Pulse CO-Oximetry, announced today that the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) released an updated Fire Rehabilitation Standard (NFPA 1584) requiring firefighters exposed to smoke at incident scenes and during training to be assessed for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

NFPA's consensus codes and standards serve as the worldwide authoritative source on fire prevention and public safety.

The revised standard, effective now, requires that firefighters who are "exposed to fire smoke shall be assessed for carbon monoxide poisoning." The standard further states in Annex A that, "Any firefighter exposed to CO or presenting with headache, nausea, shortness of breath, or gastrointestinal symptoms... should be assessed for carbon monoxide poisoning."

The previous version (2008) of the standard did not include assessment of CO poisoning as a requirement. The new requirement reflects a growing consensus on the risks of CO, the difficulty of assessing CO through signs and symptoms alone, the availability of portable CO monitoring devices, and the benefits of assessing CO poisoning at the scene and during training.

Masimo's rainbow^® SET technology provides noninvasive carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO^®), a measure of CO in the blood, from a single multi-wavelength finger sensor that also provides two other vital signs measurements required by the NFPA 1584 standard, oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and pulse rate.

With the support of the Congressional Fire Services Institute and other organizations, Masimo will expand its efforts to help departments and agencies nationwide implement the new standard.

Gary Ludwig, fire chief of the Champaign (Ill.) Fire Department and well-known author, speaker, and consultant said, "There is nothing more important in our profession than firefighter safety. The new 1584 standard builds on the older standard and more comprehensively addresses medical monitoring and carbon monoxide poisoning of the firefighter. I am excited to see this updated standard and that Masimo is at the forefront of making sure firefighters go home at the end of their shifts."

"Emergency service rehabilitation has been found to be a critical component of firefighter physical and mental well-being," said Dr. William F. Jenaway, president of the Congressional Fire Services Institute and 40-plus year member of the Pennsylvania Fire Service. "The use of rehabilitation including medical monitoring and assessment of carbon monoxide poisoning is no longer 'a nice thing to do,' it is a critical component of firefighter safety and health."

Joe Kiani, founder and CEO of Masimo, stated: "We applaud NFPA for making assessment of carbon monoxide poisoning a requirement. We are proud that our rainbow Pulse CO-Oximetry technology can play a role in helping meet this standard by allowing the noninvasive monitoring of SpO₂, pulse rate, and SpCO, and in increasing safety for our heroic public servants."

SpCO is not intended as a standalone diagnostic test. Laboratory testing should be performed prior to diagnosis.

Inova Fair Oaks Hospital Casts Masimo Patient SafetyNet™ to Help Improve Patient Outcomes and Reduce Costs

FAIRFAX, Va., &IRVINE, Calif. – January 15, 2015 – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) and Inova Fair Oaks Hospital – listed among the 2014 Truven Health Analytics Top 100 Hospitals^® for delivering the best care in its community – announced that the hospital has installed Masimo Patient SafetyNet™, a remote monitoring and clinician notification system shown to keep patients safer while reducing cost of care.¹

Inova Fair Oaks Hospital embraces the patient-safety guidelines of leading health organizations, including the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation, the Joint Commission, and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), which recommend continuous oxygenation and ventilation monitoring in patients receiving opioid-based pain medications.^2-4 Opioid analgesics are associated with adverse effects and cause respiratory depression in 0.50%, or 25 of every 5,000 post-surgical patients.^5-9

Patient SafetyNet has been clinically shown to reduce preventable and costly rescue events, transfers to intensive care units, and deaths related to opioid-induced respiratory depression.^1,10 Patient SafetyNet combines the performance of Masimo SET^® pulse oximetry – the enabler of reliable oxygenation and pulse rate monitoring on medical/surgical floors – with ventilation monitoring and wireless clinician notification that can help ensure patients' safety by noninvasively and continuously measuring and tracking their underlying physiological conditions and changes that signal declining health status in real-time. When changes occur in the measured values, which may indicate deterioration in the patient's condition, the system automatically sends wireless alerts directly to clinicians – prompting a potentially lifesaving response to the patient's bedside.

"Masimo Patient SafetyNet provides an additional layer of patient protection by offering our staff an extra set of 'eyes' on the patient at all times even when a clinician isn't in the room," said G. Michael Lynch, M.D., Inova Fair Oaks Hospital Chief Medical Officer. "Masimo SET pulse oximetry also has the additional benefit of reducing false alarms, even during challenging conditions of patient movement or low perfusion, giving our staff greater confidence that our patients are receiving the best care possible."

Masimo Unveils MightySat™ at Consumer Electronics Show - First Fingertip Pulse Oximeter with Masimo SET^® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ Technology

Visit Booth 73711 at CES in Las Vegas to Witness Death-Defying and Olympic-Level Demonstrations Showing How MightySat Delivers Accurate Measurements When Other Pulse Oximeters Fail

Irvine, California — January 5, 2015 — Masimo (NASDAQ:MASI) today announced the MightySat fingertip pulse oximeter for personal use. MightySat provides accurate oxygen saturation and pulse rate measurements when other pulse oximeters can fail¹ and is ideal for those who want reliable measurements even under extreme conditions.

MightySat™ fingertip pulse oximeter provides oxygen saturation(SpO₂), pulse rate (PR), perfusion index (PI), and pleth variability index (PVI^®).

Oxygen saturation (the percentage of arterial blood that is bound with oxygen) and pulse rate (the number of times the heart beats per minute) provide an indication of lung and heart efficiency and increasingly are being measured with fingertip pulse oximeters for personal use. However, until now no fingertip pulse oximeter has been available with Masimo SET^® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry – the same technology used on more than 100 million patients a year in leading hospitals worldwide. Now, instead of guessing whether their pulse oximeter is providing accurate measurements, people can rely on MightySat with Masimo SET^® technology – shown in more than 100 independent and objective studies to outperform all other pulse oximetry technologies with dramatically fewer false measurements during motion and low perfusion (or low blood flow) to the finger.¹

MightySat is available in three versions – each of which provides oxygen saturation (SpO₂), pulse rate (PR), and perfusion index (PI) measurements in a compact, battery-powered design with a large color screen that can be rotated for real-time display of the pleth waveform as well as measurements. Optional Bluetooth wireless functionality enables measurement display via a free, downloadable app on iOS and Android mobile devices as well as the ability to trend and communicate measurements. And for those who want to use their pulse oximeter to evaluate another physiologic dimension, MightySat is the only fingertip pulse oximeter available with the optional Pleth Variability Index (PVI^®), a measure of the dynamic changes in the PI that occur during one or more complete respiratory cycles.²

Other standard features include:

Signal I.Q.^®to assess measurement confidence
Rugged, lightweight design for operation in challenging environments
Long battery life–up to 15 hours with two standard AAA alkaline batteries
Two-year limited warranty

Elite athletes are among those who trust Masimo SET^® pulse oximetry to help them achieve peak performance. Stig Severinsen, Ph.D. in medicine, a four-time World Champion freediver and owner of multiple Guinness World Records, including history's longest breath-hold of 22 minutes, will demonstrate MightySat while holding his breath in a coffin-sized water tank during the CES trade show in Las Vegas, Jan. 6-9, Booth 73711, Tech West, Sands Expo.

Also at the Masimo booth will be Dotsie Bausch, a seven-time USA Cycling National Champion, two-time Pan-American Champion, and silver medalist in team pursuit cycling at the 2012 London Olympics, who will perform her Olympic-level training, demonstrating Masimo SET^® technology measurements.

"Training for extreme records under extreme conditions is always a huge challenge," said Severinsen, who was the subject of a recent National Geographic television special, when he used Masimo technology prior to freediving inside an iceberg. "In such situations it is of great value to be able to perform noninvasive and accurate measurements of my heart rate and oxygen saturation levels with a state-of-the-art device.

"I would recommend Masimo's MightySat to anyone interested in health and fitness – understanding what goes on inside your body is paramount to improving performance," he added.
