Masimo’s smartSET™ FDA Clearance Offers Breakthrough Innovation in Pulse Oximetry to Help Improve Critical Patient Outcomes

Industry-Leading Pulse Oximetry Platform Now Features First-of-Its-Kind Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Detection with Previously Cleared AI-Enabled Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression (OIRD) Detection Designed Together to Deliver Earlier Clinical Insights

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Masimo, a Danaher company and a specialty diagnostics solutions innovator of pulse oximetry and other patient monitoring solutions, today announced FDA 510(k) clearance for AFib capability on Radius VSM®. Together with its previously cleared and AI-enabled OIRD detection capability, smartSET™ expands pulse oximetry beyond individual measurements, using advanced pattern recognition and AI signal analysis to help clinicians recognize physiological changes associated with important clinical events.

Building on the industry-leading Masimo Signal Extraction Technology (SET®) pulse oximetry and more than 35 years of signal-processing innovation, smartSET represents the next evolution of SET®, extending continuous monitoring from reliable measurement to clinical insight. Its AFib and AI-enabled OIRD capabilities help clinicians identify rhythms suggestive of AFib, and physiological patterns associated with OIRD to support earlier evaluation and intervention.
