Masimo and Philips licensing agreement brings Masimo NomoLine Capnography and O3 Regional Oximetry to select Philips patient monitors

Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Irvine California – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) and Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG; AEX: PHIA), both global leaders in patient monitoring, announced today that they have reinforced their partnership, whereby Philips will integrate additional Masimo measurement technologies into select IntelliVue® MX-series multi-parameter monitors, to help clinicians assess cerebral oximetry and ventilation status.

Core Masimo noninvasive measurements, such as SET® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry and advanced rainbow SET® Pulse CO-Oximetry parameters like noninvasive hemoglobin (SpHb®), have long been available on a wide range of Philips multi-parameter monitors.

In 2016, Masimo and Philips entered into a multi-year business partnership involving both companies’ innovations in patient monitoring and therapy solutions. Now, in 2020, Philips becomes one of Masimo’s first industry partners to launch additional advanced Masimo measurements, NomoLine and O3, in their own patient monitors, sharing Masimo’s expertise in capnography and regional cerebral oximetry with caregivers and patients around the world.

As global leader in health technology, we are delighted to reinforce our partnership with Masimo, bringing their advanced measurements to our innovative IntelliVue patient monitors, thereby making them even more versatile.

Frans van Houten

CEO of Royal Philips.

NomoLine capnography and O3 regional oximetry measurements are available now on Philips MX500 and MX550 monitors [1] in select markets [2] throughout the world, and are also available directly from Masimo on its Root® Patient Monitoring and Connectivity Platform and when connected to select Philips patient monitors via Philips’ IntelliBridge module:

NomoLine “no-moisture” sampling lines are designed for low-flow applications and can be used in a variety of clinical scenarios and care settings, on both intubated and non-intubated patients of all ages, in both low- and high-humidity applications.
O3 regional oximetry may help clinicians monitor cerebral oxygenation in situations in which pulse oximetry alone may not be fully indicative of the oxygen in the brain.

“As global leader in health technology, we are delighted to reinforce our partnership with Masimo, bringing their advanced measurements to our innovative IntelliVue patient monitors, thereby making them even more versatile,” said Frans van Houten, CEO of Royal Philips. “Our customers expect integrated solutions to help them address the quadruple aim of healthcare. The complementary strengths of Philips and Masimo allow us to offer, reliable ventilation and regional oximetry solutions, which we expect will help clinicians deliver even better patient care.”

“Combining our expertise in noninvasive monitoring and signal processing technologies with Philips’ expertise in integrated patient monitoring and therapy solutions is a win-win for patients and clinicians alike,” said Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. “We are proud that Philips, recognizing our expertise in this clinical space, has chosen to make our innovative O3 and NomoLine platforms available to their customers. We look forward to continuing our partnership with a focus on improving patient outcomes and reducing the cost of care.”

About Masimo

Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is a global medical technology company that develops and produces a wide array of industry-leading monitoring technologies, including innovative measurements, sensors, patient monitors, and automation and connectivity solutions. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care.

Masimo SET® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry, introduced in 1995, has been shown in over 100 independent and objective studies to outperform other pulse oximetry technologies [1]. Masimo SET® has also been shown to help clinicians reduce severe retinopathy of prematurity in neonates [2], improve CCHD screening in newborns [3], and, when used for continuous monitoring with Masimo Patient SafetyNet™ in post-surgical wards, reduce rapid response team activations, ICU transfers, and costs [4-6]. Masimo SET® is estimated to be used on more than 200 million patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the world [7], and is the primary pulse oximetry at 9 of the top 10 hospitals according to the 2019-20 U.S.

News and World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll [8]. Masimo continues to refine SET® and in 2018, announced that SpO2 accuracy on RD SET® sensors during conditions of motion has been significantly improved, providing clinicians with even greater confidence that the SpO2 values they rely on accurately reflect a patient’s physiological status. 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®), Pleth Variability Index (PVi®), RPVi™ (rainbow® PVi), and Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi™). In 2013, Masimo introduced the Root® Patient Monitoring and Connectivity Platform, built from the ground up to be as flexible and expandable as possible to facilitate the addition of other Masimo and third-party monitoring technologies; key Masimo additions include Next Generation SedLine® Brain Function Monitoring, O3® Regional Oximetry, and ISA™ Capnography with NomoLine® sampling lines. Masimo’s family of continuous and spot-check monitoring Pulse CO-Oximeters® includes devices designed for use in a variety of clinical and non-clinical scenarios, including tetherless, wearable technology, such as Radius-7® and Radius PPG™, portable devices like Rad-67™, fingertip pulse oximeters like MightySat® Rx, and devices available for use both in the hospital and at home, such as Rad-97®. Masimo hospital automation and connectivity solutions are centered around the Iris® platform, and include Iris Gateway®, Patient SafetyNet, Replica™, Halo ION™, UniView™, and Masimo SafetyNet™.
