working at Masimo?

"The highest ranking Masimo executives, including its Chairman and CEO, Joe Kiani, knew about the failures of SpHb technology forced their sales staff to sell the SpHb devices anyway in the face of knowledge that the devices could seriously endanger patients lives and were unrepentant in the arbitration despite a wealth of evidence of wrong-doing.'

Testosterone? Absolutely not. (Estrogen maybe, but I don't think so.)
This is about pure narcissism fueled by desperation for rainbow legitimacy.

 

Rainbow: the heart and soul of Masimo's sphb quagmire.
Joes sphb "measurement" is the dumb nucleus of his family of inbred algorithms that drive all other rainbow "measurements." It is the grandfathering fairy tail behind all other ferry tails told on joker's rainbow farm....The rotten egg in his radical cookie dough making real shittyrainbow cookies. Get the picture?
Hence all the ruckus over masi's achilles heel sphb.

 

So the nucleus of our product portfolio & future growth strategy is our achilles heel! Wonderful.

We could shoot a sequel to The Jerk onsite in real time. No paid actors or fictitious bad product this time. Just joker, the pronto and some actual plaintiffs.

Tune in folks....
Masimo to face charges of Negligence and Product Liability on December 13, 2016 before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. (Additional charges including Wrongful Death were dismissed previously in US District Court on grounds of Statute of Limitations.)

"The Office of Human Research Protection ("OHRP") recently determined that the conduct of the SUPPORT clinical trial was in violation of the regulatory requirements for informed consent, stemming from the failure to describe the reasonably foreseeable risks of blindness, neurological damage and death."

Fortunately for Masimo, the statute of limitations for "wrongful death" charges filed in Alabama is 3 years max. So they will only have to face the product liability & negligence charges.

For those just tuning in... If you're wondering why there were charges of Wrongful Death, Product Liability and Negligence filed against Masimo (Looney vs. Moore, Masimo, et al)...

June 2004..... In a letter announcing the use of the Radical-7/SpO2 technology to monitor hundreds of premature infant subjects in a then-pending clinical trial named "SUPPORT", Masimo made the following reassuring commitments:

"The researchers have required that the actual number be displayed below 85% and above 95%. The alarm will sound at 84% and 96%."

James Cronin, Vice President Regulatory Affairs, Masimo Corp
http://www.citizen.org/documents/2146_June 30, 2004 Masimo Letter re Pulse Oximeters.pdf

2004 - 2009..... 1,300 premature infants and approximately 23 institutions participated in the SUPPORT trial. Unfortunately, 237 of the infants who participated died. Hundreds more sustained permanent physical and neurological injuries including total blindness.

March 2013....The Federal Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) determined "that the informed consent document for this trial failed to adequately inform parents of what risks their babies might face via study enrollment." The OHRP found that parents weren't informed how enrollment in the study might increase babies' risk of blindness and death, risks that before the study, Masimo and the researchers should logically have known could increase through enrollment.

April 2013...Parents of the deceased filed a personal injury complaint against Masimo and others involved. According to the complaint, “Masimo rigged the oximeter so that it would not reveal the actual oxygen level, and would not sound an alert when levels were too high or too low.”

August 2015.... US District Judge Karen Bowdre dismissed the case on summary judgement, plaintiffs demand for trial by jury denied. Plaintiffs filed an appeal.

December 2016.... 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to hear oral arguments 12/13/16

 

Good idea! Great timing! What a visionary!
2013: Masimo CEO Joe Kiani launched the Patient Safety Movement Foundation
http://patientsafetymovement.org/

2013: Masimo CEO Joe Kiani testified before the US Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pension Committee, seeking support from Congress to endorse his "Patient Safety Solutions." In the hearing Kiani requested that hospitals implementing his Patient Safety Solutions be "shielded from malpractice lawsuits to the fullest extent possible, such as through an affirmative defense and limits on damages."
http://www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Kiani.pdf

 

Am I getting this right? An adamant champion of patients/safety is advising congress to limit "to the full extent possible" the legal recourse patient-victims of medical malpractice have, to hold accountable the hospitals/doctors at fault for the preventable injuries they sustained. Hmmm....someone please ask Kiani to explain the rationale there. I'm not following.

 

And why is there no disclosure of Kiani's relationship to ? Note in the complete transcript of his delivery (see link below), Kiani is referenced exclusively as the Founder of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation, speaking only on their behalf. Is it not a potential conflict of interest for Kiani to present his proposal to the US Senate committee without disclosing any connection to his company Masimo, when of course Masimo would stand to benefit significantly from it's adoption?
http://www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Kiani.pdf

 

So the proposal would allows for hospitals to be incentivized to adopt masi's "Patient Safety Solutions." I get that part I think. However.... why of all things would he choose as the incentive (for hospitals to do so) an arrangement that would by design limit patients from suing their hospitals accountable to recover damages??? Why make victims of medical malpractice serve as pawns in anyone's agenda? No thanks. Pick another incentive please. A sensible one.

 

Oh really J.K.? malpractice lawsuits are the big bully out there, uh? I had no idea victims of preventable harm were being so entitled to our justice system and overcompensated for their injuries? Those trolls!! Thanks for leading this worthy charge!

 

"Public policy/safety would be thwarted if Masimo got it's way, silencing whistleblowers, compelling them to be complicit in potentially fraudulent conduct."

thwart! it's what masi can do for you!

 

How ironic his #1 objective
"Our first objective is to create a system of transparency!" says the man who selectively omits his executive position and any relationship to Masimo.

no wonder masi spent so many years and millions of dollars appealing that verdict. The fact he fought so hard and lost every appeal is as telling of what he really is than the crimes he was found guilty of. What a turd!!

 

Alas an indelible mark of dishonor hath finally cometh to lord jackass.
