SedLine, Which Helps Clinicians Improve Anesthetic Management, Receives CE Mark
NEUCHATEL, Switzerland - Thursday, May 26th 2016 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today the CE mark and scheduled full market release of Next Generation SedLine® Brain Function Monitoring technology at the European Society of Anaesthesiology’s (ESA) 2016 Euroanaesthesia Congress in London, England.
Next Generation SedLine enhances how Masimo’s processed EEG parameter, the Patient State Index (PSI), responds in challenging situations, addressing many of the concerns raised with quantitative EEG while bolstering brain function monitoring’s support of anesthetic management.
Next Generation PSI uses Masimo’s breakthrough Parallel Engines and Adaptive Signal Processing technology and provides the following enhancements:
Less susceptibility to electromyography (EMG) interference by extracting a clearer EEG signal even in the presence of EMG
Improved PSI performance in low power EEG cases
These improvements build upon the existing benefits of SedLine technology:
Four simultaneous EEG leads to enable continuous assessment of both sides of the brain
Density Spectral Array (DSA) offers easy-to-interpret, high-resolution display of bi-hemispheric activity
Multiple screen views expand information while enabling customization in the OR and ICU
Electrocautery resistance
“We are delighted to unveil Next Generation SedLine,” said Joe Kiani, Founder and CEO of Masimo. “Next Generation PSI takes advantage of Masimo’s signal processing prowess and promises to do for brain function monitoring what SET did for pulse oximetry.”
Next Generation SedLine has not received FDA 510(k) clearance and is not currently available for sale in the United States.

About Masimo
Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is a 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. Masimo SET® 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 more recently, Pleth Variability Index (PVI®) and Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI™), in addition to SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (PI). In 2014, Masimo introduced Root®, an intuitive patient monitoring and connectivity platform with the Masimo Open Connect (MOC-9) interface. Masimo is also taking an active leadership role in mHealth with products such as the Radius-7™ wearable patient monitor and the MightySat™ fingertip pulse oximeter.
