Awards recognize the top contributors to local innovation and global competition
The AeA Orange County and Inland Empire Council honored Masimo as the Outstanding Medical Device Company of the Year at the 15th Annual High-Tech Innovation Awards. The 2008 winners were honored on April 29, 2008 at a sold-out dinner and awards ceremony at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine that drew luminaries from local high-tech companies, financial and government institutions, as well as academic leaders, educators, students, investors and media affiliates.
This is the fourth time AeA has named Masimo as an award winner and the second time Masimo has been honored as the Outstanding Medical Device Company. In 2006, AeA named Masimo as a High-Tech Award winner for Medical Technology, in 2001 Masimo received the Innovative Product/Technology Award, and in 2000 Masimo was honored with the Outstanding Medical Device Company Award.
"Now companies must work harder than ever to stand out from the competition," said Don Hicks, executive director, AeA Orange County/Inland Empire. "Masimo is truly a winner this year and the 15th annual High-Tech Innovation Awards recognizes Masimo for providing outstanding innovation."
