Product Description, Features and Indications for Use

Product Description
The Masimo W1™ is a watch that provides spot-check ECG measurements and continuous measurements of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO pulse rate (PR), and respiration rate from the pleth (RRp®). The watch has a touchscreen display, a rechargeable battery, and Bluetooth® connectivity to pair to a smartphone App

Features
Key features of Masimo W1 include:

  • Masimo SET+™ technology.
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) technology.
  • Bluetooth® LE for the wireless communication.

The Masimo W1™ provides these measurement features:

Heart Rate (HR) Estimation of the number of heart beats per minute (BPM) based on the electrical signals detected in the ECG waveform. The electrical signal reflects the changes in polarization of the heart muscles during expansion and contraction or heartbeat.
Functional Oxygen Saturation of Arterial Hemoglobin (SpO2) Estimation of relative amount of oxygen available in the blood flowing to the tissues. The estimation is made by using the ratio of the amount of light absorbed by oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin by different wavelengths of light.
Pulse Rate (PR) Feature that reflects how often blood is being pushed through the body by the heart or pulse. Estimation of the number of tim es blood is pushed through the body by the heart per minute. The estimation is made from the pulsatile light absorption changes used for determining SpO2
Respiration Rate from Pleth (RRp) Estimation of the number of times the lungs expand and contract per minute. The estimation is made based on cyclic variations in the photoplethysmogram (i.e., pleth or PPG).
Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) An irregular heartbeat classification made on the ECG waveform. The classification is made based on the detection of electrical signals in the two upper chambers of the atria firing rapidly at the same time causing the heartbeat to get out of sync and faster.
Sinus Rhythm A normal heartbeat classification made on the ECG waveform. The classification is made based on the detection of normal heart rhythms where the electrical pulse travels through the heart muscle correctly from the sinus node.
Perfusion (Pi) Calculation of the relative strength of the pulsatile signal used for the SpO 2 and Pulse Rate. The Pi increases with better blood circulation. Your SpO may be more reliable when your Pi value is higher. Pi values 0.25 or below are typically considered low. If your Pi is low, try warming your hands or using a different finger.
Pleth Variability Index (PVi) Calculation of the dynamic changes in the Perfusion Index (Pi) that occur during a respiratory cycle. The calculation is accomplished by measuring changes in Pi over a time interval where one or more complete respiratory cycles have occurred.
Pule Rate Variability (PRV) Calculation of the variation of the amount of time between pulses monitored during the pulse rate estimation. The calculation is made by analyzing the pulse rate and determining the difference in the amount of time between pulses in milliseconds (ms).

Intended Use
Masimo W1™ is intended to be worn on the wrist for the spot-checking of ECG and other continuous parameters (e.g., pulse oximetry). The watch is intended to be used in hospital, hospital-type facilities, long-term care facilities, and home.

Indications for Use
Masimo W1™ watch and the integrated Masimo W1 Module are indicated for patients with suspected heart conditions and health-conscious individuals. The Masimo W1™ watch and the integrated Masimo W1 Module are indicated for the detection, display, recording, and transferring of a single lead ECG and determination of ECG parameters (e.g., Heart Rate, Atrial fibrillation) on adults. The Masimo W1™ watch and the integrated Masimo W1 Module are indicated for non-invasive spot-checking of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO pulse rate (PR), and respiration rate from the pleth (RRp) on adults.

  • Artifacts can be created in the MR image.
  • Strong magnetic fields may prevent the device from operating properly.

Note: Do not use on more than a single patient at a time with the Masimo W1.
Note: Use and store as directed in the Specifications section in this manual.

Performance Warnings and Cautions

Masimo W1 should not be used as the sole basis for medical decisions. It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.

Masimo W1 is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor. Do not rely on the Masimo W1 for detection of cessation of breathing.

If any measurement seems questionable, first check the patient's vital signs by alternate means and then check that the Masimo W1 is functioning properly.

Masimo W1 does not have alarms to support continuous monitoring.

Masimo W1 may be used during defibrillation; however, the display may require up to 5 seconds to return to normal operation.

Masimo W1 is not intended for use during electrocautery.

Masimo W1 may not fully charge in a high ambient temperature environment.

Displayed parameter(s) may not be accurate when the SIQ is low. Additional information to supplement values should be used to completely understand the patient's condition.

Check the watchband periodically to ensure adequate securement, circulation, and skin integrity. Watchbands applied too tightly or that become tight due to edema can cause inaccurate readings and/or pressure injury.

Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Masimo W1. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.

When using with a smart device, keep both devices within the recommended range of each other. See Specifications for details. Moving outside of this range may cause a loss in connection.

The RRp value may be inaccurate under conditions where the pulse rate is less than two times the respiration rate. The following conditions may include, but it's not limited to patients with high respiration rate and low heart rate, or patients with specific medical conditions such as sick sinus syndrome, bradycardia due to any primary cardiac conditions as well as secondary condition from beta blockers, digoxin, etc.

Respiration rate provides an indicator of central ventilatory drive and not a direct indication that air is moving through the upper airway.

If using Masimo W1 during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the radiation field. If the sensor is exposed to the radiation, the reading might be inaccurate, or the device might read zero for the duration of the active irradiation period.

When patients are undergoing photodynamic therapy, they may be sensitive to light sources. Pulse oximetry may be used only under careful clinical supervision for short time periods to minimize interference with photodynamic therapy.

High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight can interfere with the performance.

Do not place the Masimo W1 near electrical equipment that may affect the device, preventing it from working properly.

Failure to charge Masimo W1 promptly after a Low Battery alarm may result in the device shutting down.

To establish and maintain the minimum Quality of Service of the Masimo W1, keep the Masimo W1 within ~7 m (~23 ft.) line of sight to the smart device App.

The wireless quality of services may be influenced by the presence of other devices that may create radio frequency interference (RFI). Some RFI devices to consider are as follows: electrocautery equipment, diathermy, cellular telephones, wireless PC and tablets, pagers, RFID, MRI, electrically powered wheelchair, etc. When used in the presence of potential RFI devices, consideration should be taken to maximize separation distances and to observe for any potential signs of interference such as loss of communication or reduced Wi-Fi signal strength.
Note: Always charge Masimo W1 when it is not in use to ensure that the Masimo W1 battery is fully charged before use.
Note: All batteries lose capacity with age, thus the amount of run time at Low Battery will vary depending upon the age of the battery.
Note: A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the Masimo W1.

ECG Performance

Make sure the Masimo W1 makes good contact with your wrist and your finger. Poor contact can result in no or incorrect readings.

Avoid wearing watch over compromised skin, excessive hair, or scar tissue, as this may result in incorrect readings.

Pacemakers that create fusion beats (pace pulse on top of the QRS complex) may not be detected by Masimo W1.

For paced patients who exhibit only intrinsic rhythm, the monitor can erroneously count pace pulses as QRS complexes. Do not rely on the Masimo W1 for ECG monitoring of cardiac patients with pacemakers.

ECG signal detection and HR reading can be affected by the following:

  • Poor electrode contact
  • Conditions that may increase skin impedance (e.g., dry skin).
  • Weak heart (ECG) signals
  • Excessive movement
  • Electrode or electrodes placement over skin injuries or hair.
  • Abnormal heart rhythms due to physiological conditions or induced through external factors (e.g., cardiac arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation, seizures etc.).
  • EMI radiation interference
  • Pacemakers

Pulse Oximetry Performance

If SpO 2 values indicate hypoxemia, do not self-diagnose. Confirmation by a medical professional is required.

SpO 2 is empirically calibrated in healthy adult volunteers with normal levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb).

Optical, pleth-based measurements (e.g., SpO 2 , PR, and RRp) can be affected by the following:

  • Incorrect watch placement or securement (e.g., too loose, too tight).
  • Blood pressure cuff inflated or constricting the same arm.
  • Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
  • Arterial catheter
  • Venous congestion
  • Abnormal venous pulsations (e.g., tricuspid value regurgitation, Trendelenburg position).
  • Abnormal pulse rhythms due to physiological conditions or induced through external factors (e.g., cardiac arrhythmias, intra-aortic balloon, etc.).
  • Moisture, birthmarks, skin discoloration, tattoos, henna, or foreign objects in the light path.
  • Elevated levels of bilirubin
  • Physiological conditions that can significantly shift the oxygen disassociation curve.
  • A physiological condition that may affect vasomotor tone or changes in vasomotor tone.
  • Loss of pulsatile signal


No or inaccurate SpO 2 readings may additionally be caused by:

  • Elevated levels of COHb and/or MetHb. Note: High levels of COHb or MetHb may occur with a seemingly normal SpO2
  • Severe anemia.
  • Very low arterial perfusion.
  • Hypocapnic or Hypercapnic conditions.
  • Excessive motion.
  • Vasospastic disease such as Raynaud's.
  • Hemoglobinopathies and synthesis disorders (e.g., thalassemias, Hb s, Hb c, sickle cell).
  • Peripheral vascular disease.
  • EMI radiation interference.


Inaccurate RRp readings may additionally be caused by:

  • Low arterial perfusion.
  • Motion induced artifact.
  • Severe anemia
  • Arrhythmia

Cleaning and Service Warnings and Cautions

The following can cause damage that may impact the performance of your Masimo W1:

  • Do not attempt to sanitize or sterilize using heat, steam, boiling or similar means.
  • Clean only with the solutions listed in this manual.


Do not attempt to remanufacture, recondition, or recycle the Masimo W1 as these processes may damage the electrical components, potentially leading to patient harm.

Only perform maintenance procedures specifically described in the manual. Otherwise, return the Masimo W1 for servicing.

Do not touch, press, or rub the watch face with abrasive cleaning compounds, instruments, brushes, rough-surface materials, or bring them into contact with anything that could scratch the display.

To avoid permanent damage to the Masimo W1, do not use undiluted bleach (5% - 5.25% sodium hypochlorite) or any other cleaning solution not recommended.

Do not use petroleum-based or acetone solutions, or other harsh solvents, to clean the Masimo W1. These substances affect the device's materials and device failure can result.

Do not submerge Masimo W1 in any cleaning solution or attempt to sterilize by autoclave, irradiation, steam, gas, ethylene oxide or any other method. This will seriously damage Masimo W1.
