Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) revealed findings from a study presented at Euroanaesthesia 2020, led by Dr. Kumagai at Iwate Medical University. The research demonstrated that Masimo ORi™, or Oxygen Reserve Index, effectively limits postoperative hyperoxia, potentially preventing hypoxia. In a trial involving 50 breast surgery patients, those monitored with ORi had significantly lower arterial oxygen levels post-surgery compared to a control group. However, ORi is currently not available in the U.S. due to the lack of FDA 510(k) clearance.
