NEUCHATEL, Switzerland-Tuesday 16 July 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today that in a study recently published in the Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing,
researchers investigated the ability of Masimo ORi™ (Oxygen Reserve
Index) to serve as a noninvasive indicator of the arterial partial
pressure of oxygen (PaO2) during general anesthesia, to help avoid hyperoxia.1 ORi is an index of oxygenation in the moderate hyperoxic region (PaO2 range
of 100 to 200 mmHg). As an “index” with a scale between 0.0 and 1.0,
ORi can be trended to notify clinicians of changes in a patient’s oxygen
reserve.
Dr.
Keisuke Yoshida and colleagues at the Fukushima Medical University
School of Medicine in Japan sought to evaluate whether ORi could provide
continuous, noninvasive insight into avoiding excessive hyperoxia by
comparing the relationship between PaO2 and ORi during
various oxygen administration conditions. They enrolled 20 patients
scheduled for surgery requiring general anesthesia. ORi was measured
using Masimo Root® with the Radical-7® Pulse CO-Oximeter® and rainbow® sensors. PaO2 was measured using the Siemens RAPIDLab® 1265 blood gas analyzer. For each patient, after inducing anesthesia, blood gas analysis to measure PaO2 was
performed four times, with ORi values recorded each time blood was
drawn, providing 80 data sets. Initial analysis was performed with
inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2) set to 0.33, with the three subsequent analyses performed when ORi was around 0.5, 0.2, and 0, achieved by adjusting FiO2.
For analysis, the researchers chose an upper PaO2 threshold of 240 mmHg, based on a previous study that found a positive correlation between ORi and PaO2 when PaO2 < 240 mmHg.2 They defined hyperoxemia as PaO2 ≥ 150 mmHg. Using linear regression analysis, the researchers found a “relatively strong” positive correlation (r2 = 0.706) between ORi and PaO2 when PaO2 was
less than 240 mmHg. Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve
analysis, they calculated that the optimal cut-off ORi value to detect
PaO2 ≥ 150 mmHg was 0.21 (sensitivity 0.950, specificity 0.755). Using four-quadrant plot analysis, they found that ORi trended PaO2 with a 100% concordance rate.
The
researchers concluded that “Hyperoxemia can be detected by observing
ORi of patients under general anesthesia, and thus unnecessary
administration of high concentration oxygen can possibly be avoided.”
They also noted, “ORi has unique characteristics reflecting the state of
oxygenation in the hyperoxic range. The present study examined data
under general anesthesia in the operating room, but ORi’s unique
features can provide benefits not only in the operating room, but also
in the ICU and other fields. In the future, in order to make the most
use of ORi, further clinical study is required.”
As
study limitations, the researchers noted the small number of subjects
in the study. In addition, they noted, “It is plausible that a given
patient’s factors (e.g. age, physique, body temperature, finger
perfusion, hemoglobin concentration) affect their ORi value. Therefore,
ORi might not reflect all changes in PaO2.”
ORi has not received FDA 510(k) clearance and is not available for sale in the United States.

About Masimo
Masimo
(NASDAQ: MASI) is a global medical technology company that develops and
produces a wide array of industry-leading monitoring technologies,
including innovative measurements, sensors, patient monitors, and
automation and connectivity solutions. Our mission is to improve patient
outcomes and reduce the cost of care. Masimo SET® Measure-through
Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry, introduced in 1995, has been
shown in over 100 independent and objective studies to outperform other
pulse oximetry technologies.3 Masimo SET® has also been shown to help clinicians reduce severe retinopathy of prematurity in neonates,4 improve CCHD screening in newborns,5 and,
when used for continuous monitoring with Masimo Patient SafetyNet™ in
post-surgical wards, reduce rapid response team activations, ICU
transfers, and costs.6-8 Masimo SET® is estimated to be used on more than 100 million patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the world,9 and
is the primary pulse oximetry at 9 of the top 10 hospitals listed in
the 2018-19 U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll.10 Masimo continues to refine SET® and in 2018, announced that SpO2 accuracy
on RD SET™ sensors during conditions of motion has been significantly
improved, providing clinicians with even greater confidence that the SpO2 values they rely on accurately reflect a patient’s physiological status. 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®), Pleth Variability Index (PVi®), RPVi™ (rainbow® PVi), and Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi™). In 2013, Masimo introduced the Root® Patient
Monitoring and Connectivity Platform, built from the ground up to be as
flexible and expandable as possible to facilitate the addition of other
Masimo and third-party monitoring technologies; key Masimo additions
include Next Generation SedLine® Brain Function Monitoring, O3® Regional Oximetry, and ISA™ Capnography with NomoLine® sampling lines. Masimo’s family of continuous and spot-check monitoring Pulse CO-Oximeters® includes
devices designed for use in a variety of clinical and non-clinical
scenarios, including tetherless, wearable technology, such as Radius-7® and Radius™ PPG, portable devices like Rad-67™, fingertip pulse oximeters like MightySat® Rx,
and devices available for use both in the hospital and at home, such as
Rad-97™. Masimo hospital automation and connectivity solutions are
centered around the Iris® platform, and include Iris
Gateway™, Patient SafetyNet, Replica™, Halo ION™, UniView™, and
Doctella™. Additional information about Masimo and its products may be
