Joe Kiani He screwed up again. Masimo’s CEO came to the agenda to talk again Apple Watch’s blood oxygen level measurement function (SpO2). A few weeks ago, he claimed that he could teach Apple a lesson by spending $100 million in its fight against the Cupertino company.

Masimo’s CEO believes this Apple Watch users are better off Without the function of blood oxygen saturation. In his words, “Apple masks what it to its consumers as a reliable pulse oximeter, but it is not.”

Bread rises every time Joe Kiani speaks. Apple had to stop sales of Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the USA following the decision of the International Trade Commission. thinks the company is infringing on a number of Masimo patents. Apple removed the blood oxygen saturation function to continue selling its Apple Watch.

Apple Watch’s blood oxygen measurement is unreliable, says Masimo CEO

Apple and Masimo still locked in a patent legal dispute Due to a possible violation of Apple’s blood oxygen saturation function.

After Apple Watch sales were stopped in the United States, Apple decided to remove the oximetry function through your software. Masimo’s CEO is proud of this.

Although Apple disguises what it to its consumers as a reliable medical pulse oximeter, it is not. I truly feel in my heart that consumers are better off without it.

Joe Kiani considers it “not a reliable function unless used with continuous monitoring.”

Apple responded by enabling the Apple Watch’s function to measure blood oxygen saturation levels It is completely reliable and saves lives.

In fact, a study conducted by the University of São Paulo compared the function with the use of two pulse oximeters and concluded that oxygen saturation measurement . similar and very accurate results.

Even so, if it were true, as Joe Kiani claims, that Apple infringed on Masimo’s proprietary patents and “stole trade secrets” from the medical company, saying that the function was unreliable wouldn’t speak well of Masimo’s technology. .
