CAUTION:
FEDERAL LAW (U.S.A.) RESTRICTS THIS DEVICE TO SALE BY OR ON THE ORDER OF A
PHYSICIAN.

NOTICE
Purchase or possession of this device does not carry any express or implied license to use with
replacement parts which would, alone or in combination with this device, fall within the scope of one
of the relating patents.

Do not operate the Rad-8 pulse oximeter without completely reading and understanding the
instructions in this manual.

General knowledge of pulse oximetry and an understanding of the features and functions of the
Rad-8 pulse oximeter are prerequisites for its proper use.

The Rad-8 Operating Instructions provide the necessary information for proper operation of all Rad8 pulse oximeter models.

i

ii

The pulse oximeter is NOT intended for use as an apnea monitor.

A pulse oximeter should be considered an early warning device. As a trend towards
patient hypoxemia is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by laboratory
instruments to completely understand the patient’s condition.

The pulse oximeter is to be operated by qualified personnel only. This manual, accessory directions for use, all precautionary information, and specifications should be
read and understood before use.

Electric shock hazard. Do not open the pulse oximeter cover except to replace the
battery of the unit. Only a qualified operator may perform maintenance procedures
specifically described in this manual. Refer servicing to Masimo for repair of this
equipment.

Only a qualified operator may perform maintenance procedures specifically described
in this manual. Refer servicing to Masimo for repair of this equipment.

As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility
of patient entanglement or strangulation.

Do not place the pulse oximeter or accessories in any position that might cause it to
fall on the patient. Do not lift the pulse oximeter by the patient cable.

Interfering Substances: Carboxyhemoglobin and Methemoglobin may erroneously
increase readings. The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of carboxyhemoglobin present. Dyes, or any substance containing dyes, that change usual
blood pigmentation may cause erroneous readings.

Severe anemia may cause erroneous SpO2 readings.

Do not use the pulse oximeter or oximetry sensors during magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) scanning. Induced current could potentially cause burns. The pulse
oximeter may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of the
oximetry measurements.

If using pulse oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the irradiation
field. If sensor is exposed to the irradiation, the reading might be inaccurate or the unit
might read zero for the duration of the active irradiation period.

Always remove the sensor from the patient and completely disconnect the patient
from the pulse oximeter before bathing the patient.

Do not place the pulse oximeter where the controls can be changed by the patient.

Do not place the pulse oximeter face against a surface. This will cause the alarm to
be muffled.

Disposal of product - Comply with local laws in the disposal of the unit and/or its
accessories.

■
■

Patient Safety - If a sensor or cable is damaged in any way, discontinue use
immediately.

Failure of Operation - If the pulse oximeter fails any part of the setup procedures remove the
pulse oximeter from operation until qualified service personnel have corrected the situation.

■

■

Do not place containers containing liquids on or near the pulse oximeter. Liquids
spilled on the pulse oximeter may cause it to perform inaccurately or fail.

■

■

Do not expose the pulse oximeter to excessive moisture such as direct exposure to
rain. Excessive moisture can cause the pulse oximeter to perform inaccurately or fail.

■

Explosion hazard. Do not use the pulse oximeter in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other flammable substance in combination with air, oxygen-enriched environments, or nitrous oxide.

Do not place the pulse oximeter on electrical equipment that may affect the pulse
oximeter, preventing it from working properly.

■

Once the Rad-8 receives the signal from the sensor, it utilizes Masimo SET signal extraction technology for calculation of the patient’s functional oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
The maximum of the skin surface temperature is measured at an ambient temperature of
less than 106º F (41º C).This is verified by Masimo sensor skin temperature test procedures.

The Rad-8 pulse oximeter uses a two-wavelength pulsatile system to distinguish between
oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Signal data is obtained by passing red (rd) (660 nm
wavelength) and infrared (ir) (905 nm wavelength) light through a capillary bed (for example
a fingertip, a hand or a foot) and measuring changes in light absorption during the pulsatile
cycle. This information may be useful to clinicians. The radiant power of the light is rated
at 0.79mW (max.). See figure below. The Rad-8 utilizes a sensor with red and infrared
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that pass light through the site to a photodiode (photodetector). The photodetector receives the light, converts it into an electronic signal and sends it
to the Rad-8 for calculation.

Oxyhemoglobin (oxygenated blood) and deoxyhemoglobin (non-oxygenated blood)
differ in their absorption of red and infrared light (spectrophotometry).

Pulse Oximetry
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Pulse oximetry is a continuous and non-invasive method of measuring the level of arterial
oxygen saturation in blood. The measurement is taken by placing a sensor on a patient,
usually on the fingertip for adults, and the hand or foot for neonates. The sensor connects
to the pulse oximetry instrument directly or with a patient cable. The sensor collects signal
data from the patient and sends it to the instrument. The instrument displays the calculated
data in two ways:

Rad-8 Signal Extraction Pulse Oximeter Operator’s Manual

MASIMO SET SIGNAL EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY
Masimo Signal Extraction Technology’s signal processing differs from conventional pulse
oximeters. Conventional pulse oximeters assume that arterial blood is the only blood moving (pulsating) in the measurement site. During patient motion, however, the non-arterial
blood also moves, causing conventional pulse oximeters to read low values, because they
cannot distinguish between the arterial and venous blood movement (sometimes referred
to as noise). Masimo SET pulse oximetry utilizes parallel engines and adaptive digital
filtering. Adaptive filters are powerful because they are able to adapt to the varying physiologic signals and/or noise and separate them by looking at the whole signal and breaking
it down to its fundamental components. The Masimo SET signal processing algorithm,
®
®
Discrete Saturation Transform (DST) , reliably identifies the noise, isolates it and, using
adaptive filters, cancels it. It then reports the true arterial oxygen saturation for display on
the monitor.

MEASURED VS. CALCULATED SATURATION
Oxygen saturation measurements obtained from a pulse oximeter are commonly compared to saturations calculated from the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) obtained from
an arterial blood gas sample. When comparing the two measurements and interpreting
values, caution should be used, as the calculated value obtained from the blood gas
sample may differ from the SpO2 measurement of the pulse oximeter. Different results are
usually obtained from the blood gas sample if the calculated saturation is not appropriately
corrected for the effects of variables that shift the relationship between PO2 and saturation, such as: pH, temperature, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), 2,3-DPG,
and fetal hemoglobin. Also, as blood gas samples are usually taken over a period of 20
seconds (the time it takes to draw blood) a meaningful comparison can only be achieved if
the core oxygen saturation of the patient is stable and not changing over the period of time
that the blood gas sample is taken.

Functional saturation =

FUNCTIONAL VS. FRACTIONAL SATURATION
The Rad-8 is calibrated to measure and display functional saturation which is the amount of
oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that can transport
oxygen. The Rad-8 does not measure fractional saturation which is oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of all measured hemoglobin. This includes measured
dysfunctional hemoglobin such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin. To convert
fractional saturation to functional saturation, the fractional saturation measurements must
be converted according to:

CAUTIONS

Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of an LNOP, LNOPv or
LNCS sensor, for example by wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as
directed in the sensor Directions for Use to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning
and adhesion of the sensor.

Use only Masimo oximetry sensors for SpO2 measurements.

MASIMO SENSORS
Before use, carefully read the LNOP, LNOPv and LNCS sensor Directions for Use.

NUMERIC DISPLAY - SpO2
Stability of the SpO2 readings may be a good indicator of signal validity. Although stability
is a relative term, experience will provide a good feeling for changes that are artifactual or
physiological and the speed, timing, and behavior of each. The stability of the readings
over time is affected by the averaging mode being used. The longer the averaging time,
the more stable the readings tend to become. This is due to a dampened response as
the signal is averaged over a longer period of time than during shorter averaging times.
However, longer averaging times delay the response of the oximeter and reduce the measured variations of SpO2 and PR.

Place the sensor on a site that is not too thick, has sufficient perfusion and provides
proper alignment of the LED’s and photodetector.

■

The following general points will aid in ensuring oximetry monitoring success.

Successful SpO2 monitoring

operation

Rad-8 Signal Extraction Pulse Oximeter Operator’s Manual

NUMERIC DISPLAY - PULSE RATE
The Pulse Rate displayed on the Rad-8 may differ slightly from the heart rate displayed
on ECG monitors due to differences in averaging times. There may also be a discrepancy
between cardiac electrical activity and peripheral arterial pulsation. Significant differences
may indicate a problem with the signal quality due to physiological changes in the patient
or one of the instruments or application of the sensor or patient cable. The pulsations
from intra-aortic balloon support can be additive to the pulse rate displayed on the pulse
oximeter.

Check the sensor and ensure proper sensor application. The sensor must be well
secured to the site for the Rad-8 to maintain accurate readings. Also, misalignment
of the sensor’s emitter and detector can result in smaller signals.

Determine if an extreme change in the patient’s physiology and blood flow at the
monitoring site occurred, (e.g. an inflated blood pressure cuff, a squeezing motion,
sampling of an arterial blood specimen from the hand containing the pulse oximetry
sensor, severe hypotension, peripheral vasoconstriction in response to hypothermia,
medications, or a spell of Raynaud’s syndrome.)

With neonates or infants, check that the peripheral blood flow to the sensor site is
not interrupted. Interruption, for example, as may occur while lifting or crossing their
legs, during a diaper change.

■

■

Rad-8 Signal Extraction Pulse Oximeter Operator’s Manual

After performing the above, if the “Low Signal IQ” indication occurs frequently or continuously, obtaining an arterial blood specimen for CO-Oximetry analysis may be considered
to verify the oxygen saturation value.

Assess the patient.

■

The height of the Signal IQ bar indicates the quality of the measured signal. A high vertical bar indicates that the SpO2 measurement is based on a good quality signal. A small
vertical bar indicates that the SpO2 measurement is based on data with low signal quality.
When the signal quality is very low the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement may be compromised. A “Low Signal IQ” is indicated by a bar height of two bars or less and the bars
turn red. When this occurs, proceed with caution and do the following:

The Signal IQ is shown as a “bouncing bar” indicator, where the peak of the bar coincides
with the peak of an arterial pulsation. Even with a plethysmographic waveform obscured by
artifact, the Rad-8 locates the arterial pulsation. The pulse tone (when enabled) coincides
with the peak of the Signal IQ bar. As saturation increases or decreases, the pulse tone will
ascend or descend accordingly, for each 1% change in saturation.

SIGNAL IQ AND PULSE BAR
The Rad-8 display provides a visual indicator of the plethysmogram signal quality and
an alert when the displayed SpO2 values are not based on adequate signal quality. The
signal quality indicator displayed on the Rad-8 is called the Signal IQ. The Signal IQ can
be used to identify the occurrence of a patient’s pulse and the associated signal quality of
the measurement.

operation

Rad-8 Signal Extraction Pulse Oximeter Operator’s Manual

CAUTION: IF ANY MEASUREMENT SEEMS QUESTIONABLE, FIRST CHECK THE
PATIENT’S VITAL SIGNS BY ALTERNATE MEANS AND THEN CHECK THE PULSE
OXIMETER FOR PROPER FUNCTIONING.

If possible, ensure that the sensor is placed in a location with low ambient light.
Although the Rad-8 pulse oximeter integrated with Masimo SET technology has
significant immunity to ambient light, excessive ambient light may cause readings to
be incorrect.

If possible, remove electrical noise sources such as electrosurgical units or other
electrical/electronic equipment.

■

■

Wipe the sensor site with a 70% isopropyl alcohol pad or rubefacient cream (1030% methyl salicylate and 2-10% menthol) for 20-30 seconds. Strong vasodilator
creams, such as nitroglycerin paste, are not recommended.

■

If artificial nails or excessive fingernail polish are present, select another site or
remove the polish/artificial nails.

Select a site where the distance between the emitter and photodetector is minimized.

■

■

Make sure the emitter and photodetector are aligned directly opposite each other.

■

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
If the SpO2 readings show significant differences, do the following:

1 Severinghaus JW, Spellman MJ. pulse oximeter Failure Thresholds in Hypotension and
Vasoconstriction. Anesthesiology 1990; 73:532-537

CAUTION: IF THE LOW PERFUSION INDICATION IS FREQUENTLY DISPLAYED, FIND
A BETTER-PERFUSED MONITORING SITE. IN THE INTERIM, ASSESS THE PATIENT
AND, IF INDICATED, VERIFY OXYGENATION STATUS THROUGH OTHER MEANS.

It has been suggested that at extremely low perfusion levels, pulse oximeters can measure
peripheral saturation, which may differ from central arterial saturation1. This “localized
hypoxemia” may result from the metabolic demands of other tissues extracting oxygen
proximal to the monitoring site under conditions of sustained peripheral hypoperfusion.
(This may occur even with a pulse rate that correlates with the ECG heart rate.)

LOW PERFUSION
The Rad-8 indicates perfusion on a 10-bar LED indicator. The lower two segments of the
bar will turn red when the amplitude of the arterial pulsations is very low (low perfusion).

Rad-8 Signal Extraction Pulse Oximeter Operator’s Manual

High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light
source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight
can interfere with the performance of an SpO2 sensor. To prevent interference from
ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor site with
opaque material, if required. Failure to take this precaution in high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.

SELECTING A MASIMO SET SENSOR
When selecting a sensor, consider, the patient’s weight, the adequacy of perfusion, the
available sensor sites, and the duration of monitoring. For more information refer to the
following table or contact your Sales Representative. Use only Masimo SET sensors and
sensor cables. Select an appropriate sensor, apply it as directed, and observe all warnings and cautions presented in the directions for use accompanying the sensor.

DO NOT USE DAMAGED SENSORS. DO NOT USE A SENSOR WITH EXPOSED
OPTICAL OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. DO NOT IMMERSE THE SENSOR
IN WATER, SOLVENTS, OR CLEANING SOLUTIONS (THE SENSORS AND CONNECTORS ARE NOT WATERPROOF). DO NOT STERILIZE BY IRRADIATION,
STEAM, OR ETHYLENE OXIDE. SEE THE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
DIRECTIONS FOR USE FOR REUSABLE MASIMO SENSORS.
