"…Masimo SET will decrease failures due to low perfusion, motion and other artifacts. We finally have a pulse oximeter that  does what it's supposed to do: give us accurate SpO2 measurements when we need them most."

Steven J. Barker, Ph.D., M.D.
Professor and Chairman, Department of Anesthesiology University of Arizona

"Conventional pulse oximetry has needed technical improvement to eliminate motion artifact and improve accuracy and reliability during low flow and oxygenation conditions. SET provides this needed improvement … already it appears reasonable to conclude that more accurately and reliably monitored and maintained oxygenation will benefit patient management and patient outcomes."

William W. Hay Jr., M.D.
Professor of Pediatrics and Dir. Neonatal Clinical Research Ctr., University of Colorado

"I saw and was conquered. I was not able to defeat the Masimo SET pulse oximeter using all the motion and low pulse tricks I know. This technology is most impressive and should be available in all oximeters, the only comparison is Dolby."

John Severinghaus, M.D.
Professor of /Anesthesiology, Emeritus

"Masimo has truly made a contribution with its Signal Extraction Technology. Now it's up to my peers in the clinical community to use this breakthrough technology throughout the continuum of care for the betterment of patients."

Kevin K. Tremper, Ph.D., M.D.
Chairman, Department of Anesthesiology

"Were it not for the steady rise in %SpO2 values, the resuscitative efforts for this baby would have been aborted. This newborn's life was likely saved by Masimo SET pulse oximetry."

Mitchell Goldstein, M.D.
University of California, Irvine

"Masimo SET is advantageous because even though it reduces false alarms by 93%, it doesn't do that by ignoring physiological changes. The Signal Extraction Technology from Masimo measures the patient's physiology accurately by extracting the signal fraught with noise…"

Christian Poets, M.D.
Director, Neonatal Intensive Care
Medical School, Hannover, Germany

"Pulse oximetry has been, at best, a fair-weather friend. With Masimo SET pulse oximeters can become a foul-weather friend, providing useful clinical information during times of crisis."

H.J.C. Swan, Ph.D., M.D.
Professor of Medicine, Emeritus
University of California, Los Angeles

"Prior to Masimo's 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."
