The Masimo pulse oximeter with sensors have been validated for no motion accuracy in human blood studies on healthy 
adult volunteers in induced hypoxia studies in the range of 70% to 100% SpO2 against a laboratory co-oximeter and ECG 
monitor. This variation equals plus or minus one standard deviation. Plus or minus one standard deviation encompasses 
68% of the population. One percent was added to the accuracies for neonatal sensors to account for accuracy variation due 
to properties of fetal hemoglobin.
 The Masimo pulse oximeter with sensors has been validated for motion accuracy in human blood studies on healthy adult 
volunteers in induced hypoxia studies while performing rubbing and tapping motions at 2 to 4 Hz. At an amplitude of 1 to 
2 cm and non-repetitive motion between 1 to 5 Hz. At an amplitude of 2 to 3 cm in induced hypoxia studies in the range of 
70% to 100% SpO2 against a laboratory co-oximeter and ECG monitor. This variation equals plus or minus one standard 
deviation. Plus or minus one standard deviation encompasses 68% of the population.

The Masimo pulse oximeter has been validated for low perfusion accuracy in bench top testing against a Biotek Index 2 
simulator and Masimo's simulator with signal strengths of greater than 0.02% and a % transmission of greater than 5% for 
saturations ranging from 70 to 100%. This variation equals plus or minus one standard deviation. Plus or minus one 
standard deviation encompasses 68% of the population.

When the SpO

 sensor is applied for neonatal patients as indicated, the specified accuracy range is increased by ±1%, to 
compensate for the theoretical effect on oximeter measurements of fetal hemoglobin in neonatal blood.
