Masimo’s smartSET™Wins FDA 510(k) Clearance for First-of-Its-Kind Atrial Fibrillation Detection—AI-Powered Pulse Oximetry Now Flags AFib and Opioid-Related Risks at the Bedside

Summary :

On October 17, 2026, Masimo, a Danaher company, announced FDA 510(k) clearance for atrial fibrillation (AFib) detection on its Radius VSM® wearable monitor—making smartSET™the industry’s first pulse-oximetry platform to pair AFib detection with previously cleared AI-enabled opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) detection.

smartSET builds on more than 35 years of Masimo SET® signal-processing innovation to extend continuous monitoring from reliable measurement to clinical insight. In validation testing, the PPGbased AFib capability demonstrated 97% sensitivity and 100% specificity against ECG-based ground truth, flagging rhythms suggestive of AFib for further evaluation—relevant because AFib affects more than 10% of patients over 65 and often goes undiagnosed. The AI-enabled OIRD capability analyzes (SpO_{2}) , pulse rate and perfusion index in real time to assess opioid-overdose risk, addressing evidence that 1 in 10 surgical patients receiving opioids experiences an opioid-related adverse event. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Basil Matta said bringing AI-driven pattern recognition into the pulse-oximetry workflow helps clinicians see subtle physiological shifts earlier, while President Tim Benner called the addition “a major leap forward” for earlier visibility into serious patient risks. Masimo estimates its SET® technology is used on more than 200 million patients worldwide each year.

Why Selected:

The weekend’s only Global 500 release is also one of the most consequential: a 510(k) that turns the humble pulse oximeter into an AI sentinel—combining first-of-its-kind AFib detection (97% sensitivity, 100% specificity) with OIRD risk scoring, squarely hitting the intersection of wearable monitoring, AI diagnostics and patient safety.
