Kiani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Masimo, said, "We focus on inventing and delivering breakthrough noninvasive vital signs monitors that help clinicians make better and faster decisions in order to improve the quality and efficiency of patient care. Our fourth quarter and full year 2009 financial results show the fundamental strength of our innovation engine and business model. We attribute our sustained growth to the power of our core Masimo SET pulse oximetry platform, combined with our Masimo Rainbow Pulse CO-Oximetry offering, which is extending use of noninvasive measurements to new applications such as carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, hemoglobin and beyond."
As of January 2, 2010, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $189.0 million, up 29% from $146.9 million at January 3, 2009.

About Masimo
Masimo develops innovative monitoring technologies that significantly improve patient care--helping solve "unsolvable" problems. In 1995, the company debuted Measure-Through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry, known as Masimo SET(R), which virtually eliminated false alarms and increased pulse oximetry's ability to detect life-threatening events. More than 100 independent and objective studies demonstrate Masimo SET provides the most reliable SpO2 and pulse rate measurements even under the most challenging clinical conditions, including patient motion and low peripheral perfusion. In 2005, Masimo introduced Masimo Rainbow SET(R) Pulse CO-Oximetry(TM), allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously required invasive procedures, including total hemoglobin (SpHb(R)), oxygen content (SpOC(TM)), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO(R)), methemoglobin (SpMet(R)), and PVI(R), in addition to SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (PI). In 2009, Masimo introduced Masimo Rainbow SET(R) Acoustic Monitoring(TM), the first-ever noninvasive and continuous monitoring of acoustic respiration rate (RRa(TM)). Masimo's Rainbow platform offers a breakthrough in patient safety by helping clinicians detect life-threatening conditions and helping guide treatment options. Founded in 1989, Masimo has the mission of "Improving Patient Outcomes and Reducing Cost of Care by Taking Noninvasive Monitoring to New Sites and Applications."
