IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Masimo
(NASDAQ:
MASI) announced today that it has received CE Mark for its
SEDLine brain function monitor — expanding  access to
and availability of SEDLine’s advanced neuromonitoring technology
to hospitals and clinicians across Europe.  The only brain
function monitor with four separate EEG channels in a single
integrated algorithm SEDLine represents a critical advancement for
the practice of anesthesia in Europe — more complete data for
a more complete picture of brain function and sedation.  
 

SEDLine expands the scope of real-time data and improves the
management of an anesthetic case by enabling more individualized
titration.  Four channels of high-quality EEG data provide
information about both sides of the brain to facilitate immediate
detection of asymmetrical activity and yields a single
sophisticated algorithm to give accurate, reliable information
about a patient’s response to anesthesia.  Masimo’s SEDLine
Patient State Index (PSI™), a calculated measure of brain
activity that reflects the patient’s current level of
sedation/anesthesia(1), provides additional data to enhance
anesthetic control and facilitate rapid assessment.  With
demonstrated reliability under challenging clinical conditions and
superior resistance to cautery(2), SEDLine offers a cost-effective
solution for brain function monitoring that helps clinicians
achieve targeted sedation throughout all phases of anesthesia
— in the OR and ICU.
