Masimo Corporation (NASDAQ:MASI) recently announced that its technologies will be integrated in NU Hospitals, a Bangalore-based nephrology care center in India. This development is in line with the company’s focus on expanding in India.

Per the deal, NU Hospitals is going to incorporate a number of Masimo technologies in its operating rooms (OR), intensive care units (ICUs), dialysis beds and general wards.

NU Hospitals’ ORs will be equipped with Masimo Root Patient Monitoring and Connectivity Hubs and Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeters. These monitors will include noninvasive, continuous hemoglobin monitoring (SpHb), a Masimo rainbow parameter, Masimo Open Connect (MOC-9) technology and SedLine brain function monitoring.

Patients at NU Hospitals will be constantly monitored using a variety of bedside devices like Root with Noninvasive Blood Pressure and Temperature and Rad-97 Pulse CO-Oximeters. Measurements will include SpHb, SET Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry. Furthermore, Pleth variability index (PVi) monitoring has been adopted for dialysis patients to help in optimizing fluid management.

Developments in India & Emerging Economies

In recent times, Masimo has made several developments in India.

Last December, Artemis Hospital, a Gurgaon-based multi-specialty hospital in Delhi, India, adopted Masimo’s flagship Patient SafetyNet across all its patient care areas.

In 2017, Masimo had announced the launch and availability of the Rad-97 Pulse-CO-Oximeter and Next generation SedLine Brain Function Monitoring in India.

Apart from India, the company’s other major emerging market developments include the implementation of Masimo SafetyNet in two hospitals in Dubai under the governance of the Dubai Health Authority (DHA).

Evidently, expanding operations to highly populated economies is a strategic move by Masimo and is likely to fortify the company’s global foothold in the MedTech space.

Promising Market Trends

Per Emergo, the medical devices market in India was worth $3.5 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow to $4.8 billion by 2019. With the evolution of India’s economic, healthcare and social landscapes, the country’s medical devices market is a promising opportunity for foreign manufacturers.

Price Performance

Masimo has underperformed the industry in terms of price. The stock has lost 5.2% against the industry’s rally of 25.6%.

However, positive developments are likely to drive the share price in the quarters ahead.
