The Octane High Tech Awards, which celebrate innovators across the region, presented Masimo with the Deal of the Year and Best Technology Company Leadership Team titles. The awards highlight the firm's integration into the Danaher ecosystem, a move finalized in June 2026. Beyond the financial scope of the acquisition, the judges pointed to the leadership team's ability to maintain focus on clinical outcomes and product innovation throughout a period of significant organizational change.

Tim Benner, President of Masimo, credited the team’s success to a patient-centric culture that prioritizes agility in the competitive medtech landscape. The company, known for its SET pulse oximetry technology, continues to operate with a focus on improving hospital monitoring solutions. By securing these awards, Masimo reinforces its position within the Orange County technology hub, an area the firm has called home for decades.
