FDA Grants Masimo Clearance for Atrial Fibrillation Monitoring
What happened
Masimo received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) monitoring capability on the Radius VSM® device. This technology, combined with existing AI-enabled Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression (OIRD) detection, uses advanced pattern recognition and AI signal analysis. The clearance allows the platform to help clinicians identify physiological changes associated with important clinical events.

Why it matters
The clearance expands the use of Masimo's pulse oximetry platform beyond simple measurements to provide clinical insights. This advancement in noninvasive patient monitoring technology could support earlier evaluation and intervention in healthcare settings. As the parent company of Masimo, Danaher Corporation might see increased value related to the product's regulatory success.
Masimo develops noninvasive patient monitoring technologies, similar to systems previously cleared by the FDA for other uses.
