NON-INVASIVE TOTAL HEMOGLOBIN (SpHb) ACCURACY COMPARED TO INVASIVE
LABORATORY METHODS*
In 492 comparisons of non-invasive total hemoglobin (SpHb) and invasive hemoglobin (tHb)
measurements from a laboratory CO-Oximeter, SpHb accuracy was as follows:
0.90 correlation
0.95 g/dL standard deviation
Below 12 g/dL, 99% of SpHb readings were < 2 g/dL of the laboratory tHb value
At or above 12 g/dL, 94% of SpHb readings were < 2 g/dL of the laboratory value

SAFETY INFORMATION, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES
The Radical-7R Signal Extraction Pulse CO-Oximeter is designed to minimize
the possibility of hazards from errors in the software program by following sound
engineering design processes, Risk Analysis and Software Validation.
Variation in hemoglobin measurements may be profound and may be affected by
sample type, body positioning, as well as other physiological conditions. As with most
hemoglobin tests, Radical-7R test results should be scrutinized in light of a specific
patient’s condition. Any results exhibiting inconsistency with the patient’s clinical status
should be repeated and/or supplemented with additional test data.
Explosion hazard. Do not use the Pulse CO-Oximeter in the presence of
ammable anesthetics or other fl ammable substance in combination with air,
oxygen-enriched environments, or nitrous oxide.
High intensity, extreme lights (including pulsating strobe lights) directed on the sensor
may not allow the Pulse CO-Oximeter to obtain readings.
Excessive ambient noise may affect the accuracy of the respiration rate reading from the
Acoustic Respiration Sensor.
When monitoring Acoustic Respiration, Masimo recommends minimally monitoring
both oxygenation (SpO2) and respiration (RRa).
The Pulse CO-Oximeter is NOT intended for use as an apnea monitor.
Pulse rate measurement is based on the optical detection of a peripheral flow pulse
and therefore may not detect certain arrhythmias. The Pulse CO-Oximeter should
not be used as a replacement or substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis.
The Pulse CO-Oximeter should be considered an early warning instrument. 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 CO-Oximeter is to be operated by qualifi ed personnel only. This
manual, accessory Directions for Use (DFU), all precautionary information, and
specifi cations should be read before use.
Electric shock hazard. Do not open the Pulse CO-Oximeter cover except to
replace the battery of the Handheld instrument. Only a qualifi ed operator may
perform maintenance procedures specifi cally described in this manual. Refer
servicing to Masimo for repair of this equipment.
Ensure that the HF surgical neutral electrode is properly connected to help prevent unin-
tended current return paths when using high frequency (HF) surgical equipment.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the
ii
Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter Operator’s Manual
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Use cables only from the instrument manufacturer to provide protection against the
effects of discharge from a cardiac defibrillator and burns.
Do not place the Pulse CO-Oximeter or accessories in any position that might cause it to
fall on the patient. Do not lift the Pulse CO-Oximeter by the power cord or any other cable.
Interfering Substances: Dyes, or any substance containing dyes, that change usual
blood pigmentation may cause erroneous readings.
SpO2 is empirically calibrated to functional arterial oxygen saturation in healthy adult
volunteers with normal levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin
(MetHb). A Pulse CO-Oximeter can not measure elevated levels of COHb or MetHb.
Increases in either COHb or MetHb will affect the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement.
For increased COHb: COHb levels above normal tend to increase the level of SpO2.
The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of COHb that is present.
NOTE: High levels of COHb may occur with a seemingly normal SpO2. When
elevated levels of COHb are suspected, laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a
blood sample should be performed.
For increased MetHb: the SpO2 may be decreased by levels of MetHb of up
to approximately 10% to 15%. At higher levels of MetHb, the SpO2 may tend
to read in the low to mid 80s. When elevated levels of MetHb are suspected,
laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed.
Elevated levels of Methemoglobin (MetHb) will lead to inaccurate SpO2 and
SpCO measurements.
Elevated levels of Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) will lead to inaccurate SpO2 measurements.
Elevated levels of Total Bilirubin may lead to inaccurate SpO2, SpMet, SpCO,
SpHb, SpOC and SpHct measurements.
Motion artifact may lead to inaccurate SpMet, SpCO, SpHb, SpOC and SpHct measurements.
Very low arterial Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) levels may cause inaccurate SpCO
and SpMet measurements.
Severe anemia may cause erroneous SpO2 readings.
Hemoglobin synthesis disorders may cause erroneous SpHb, SpOC and SpHct readings.
Do not use the Pulse CO-Oximeter or sensors during magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) scanning. Induced current could potentially cause burns. The Pulse
CO-Oximeter may affect the MRI image, and the MRI instrument may affect the
accuracy of the Pulse CO-Oximetry parameters and measurements.
If using Pulse CO-Oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the
radiation fi eld. If the sensor is exposed to the radiation, the reading might be inaccurate
or the instrument might read zero for the duration of the active radiation period.
For home use, ensure that the Pulse CO-Oximeter’s alarm can be heard from
other rooms in the house, especially when noisy appliances such as vacuum
cleaners, dishwashers, clothes dryers, televisions, or radios are operating.
Always remove the sensor from the patient and completely disconnect the patient
from the Pulse CO-Oximeter before bathing the patient.

Additional information specifi c to Masimo sensors, including information about parameter/
measurement performance during motion and low perfusion, may be found in the sensor's
Directions for Use (DFU).
Do not place the Pulse CO-Oximeter where the controls can be changed by the patient.
Do not place the Pulse CO-Oximeter on electrical equipment that may affect the Pulse
CO-Oximeter, preventing it from working properly.
Do not expose the Pulse CO-Oximeter to excessive moisture such as direct exposure to rain.
Excessive moisture can cause the Pulse CO-Oximeter to perform inaccurately or fail.
Do not place containers with liquids on or near the Pulse CO-Oximeter. Liquids spilled on the
Pulse CO-Oximeter may cause it to perform inaccurately or fail.
If the Pulse CO-Oximeter fails any part of the setup procedures or leakage tests, remove the
Pulse CO-Oximeter from operation until qualifi ed service personnel have corrected the situation.
Patient Safety - If a sensor is damaged in any way, discontinue use immediately.
Disposal of product - Comply with local laws in the disposal of the instrument and/or its accessories.
The Pulse CO-Oximeter can be used during defi brillation, but the readings may be
inaccurate for up to 20 seconds.

Pulse CO-Oximetry
SpO2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Pulse CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive 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 fi ngertip for adults and the hand or foot for neonates. The sensor is connected to the Pulse
CO-Oximetry instrument 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 three ways:
1. As a percent value for arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2)
2. As a pulse rate (PR)
3. As a plethysmographic waveform

SpCO GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Pulse CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive method of measuring the levels of carbon
monoxide concentration (SpCO) in arterial blood. It relies on the same basic principles of pulse
oximetry (spectrophotometry) to make its SpCO measurement. The measurement is obtained
by placing a sensor on a patient, usually on the fi ngertip for adults and the hand or foot for
infants. The sensor connects either directly to the Pulse CO-Oximetry instrument or through a
patient cable. The sensor collects signal data from the patient and sends it to the instrument.
The instrument displays the calculated data as percentage value for the SpCO, which refl ect
blood levels of carbon monoxide bound to hemoglobin.
SpMet GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Pulse CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive method of measuring the levels of
methemoglobin concentration (SpMet) in arterial blood. It relies on the same basic principles

Overview
of pulse oximetry (spectrophotometry) to make its SpMet measurement. The measurement is
obtained by placing a sensor on a patient, usually on the fi ngertip for adults and the hand or
foot for infants. The sensor connects either directly to the Pulse CO-Oximetry instrument or
through a patient cable. The sensor collects signal data from the patient and sends it to the
instrument. The instrument displays the calculated data as percentage value for the SpMet.
SpHb GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Pulse CO-Oximetery is a continuous and non-invasive method of measuring the levels of total
hemoglobin (SpHb) in arterial blood. It relies on the same principles of pulse oximetry to make the
SpHb measurement. The measurement is taken by a sensor capable of measuring SpHb, usually on
the fingertip for adult and pediatric patients. The sensor connects directly to the Pulse CO-Oximeter
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 as measurement of total hemoglobin concentration.
TOTAL ARTERIAL OXYGEN CONTENT (CaO2) GENERAL DESCRIPTION 2
Oxygen (O2) is carried in the blood in two forms, either dissolved in plasma or combined with
hemoglobin. The amount of oxygen in the arterial blood is termed the oxygen content (CaO2)
and is measured in units of ml O2/dl blood. One gram of hemoglobin (Hb) can carry 1.34 ml of
oxygen, whereas 100 ml of blood plasma may carry approximately 0.3 ml of oxygen. The oxygen
content is determined mathematically as:
CaO2 = 1.34 (ml O2/g Hb) x Hb (g/dl) x HbO2 + PaO2 (mm Hg) x (0.3 ml O2/ 100 mm Hg/dl)
Where HbO2 is the fractional arterial oxygen saturation and PaO2 is the partial pressure
of arterial oxygen.
For typical PaO2 values, the second part of the above equation [PaO2 (mm Hg) x (0.3 ml O2/ 100 mm
Hg/dl] is approximately 0.3 ml/dl. Furthermore, for typical carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin
levels, the functional saturation (SpO2) as measured by a pulse oximeter is given by:
SpO2 = 1.02 x HbO2

Edition. New York: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1999.
RAINBOW ACOUSTIC MONITORING GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Rainbow Acoustic Monitoring continuously measures a patient's respiration rate based on
airflow sounds generated in the upper airway. The Acoustic Respiration sensor translates
airflow sounds generated in the upper airway to an electrical signal that can be processed
to produce a respiration rate, measured as breaths per minute.
SpOC GENERAL DESCRIPTION (PULSE CO-OXIMETRY)
The above approximations result in the following reduced equation for oxygen content via the
Pulse CO-Oximeter
:
SpOC (ml/dl*) = 1.31 (ml O2/g Hb) x SpHb (g/dl) x SpO2 + 0.3 ml/dl
* When ml O2/g Hb is multiplied by g/dl of SpHb, the gram unit in the denominator of ml/g cancels the gram unit
in the numerator of g/dl resulting in ml/dl (ml of oxygen in one dl of blood) as the unit of measure for SpOC.
SpHct GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Hematocrit is the fraction of whole blood volume that consists of red blood cells. In nor-
mal conditions, there is a linear relationship between hematocrit and the concentration
of hemoglobin. An estimated hematocrit as a percentage may be derived by multiplying

the hemoglobin concentration in g/dL times three and dropping the units1,2. The hematocrit
measurement is determined mathematically in this monitor as:
%Hct = Hb* g/dL x 2.953
* When Hb concentrations are between 8-17 g/dL.

The amount of arterial blood in tissue changes with your pulse (photoplethysmography). Therefore,
the amount of light absorbed by the varying quantities of arterial blood changes as well.
The Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter uses a multi-wavelength sensor to distinguish between oxygenated
blood, deoxygenated blood, blood with carbon monoxide, oxidized blood and blood plasma. The Radical-
7R utilizes a sensor with various light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that pass light through the site to a diode
(detector). Signal data is obtained by passing various visible and infrared lights (LEDs, 500 to 1400nm)
through a capillary bed (for example, a fi ngertip, a hand, a foot) and measuring changes in light absorption
during the blood pulsatile cycle. This information may be useful to clinicians. The maximum radiant power
of the strongest light is rated at 25 mW. The detector receives the light, converts it into an electronic
signal and sends it to the Radical-7R for calculation
.
Once the Radical-7R receives the signal from the sensor, it utilizes Masimo Rainbow SET
signal extraction technology to calculate the patient’s functional oxygen saturation (SpO2
(%)), blood levels of carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO (%)), methemoglobin (SpMet (%)), Total
Hemoglobin concentration (SpHb (g/dl)) and pulse rate (PR (BPM)). The SpCO, SpMet and

Overview
SpHb measurements rely on a multiwavelength calibration equation to quantify the percentage
of carbon monoxide and methemoglobin and the concentration of total hemoglobin in arterial
blood. In an ambient temperature of 35º C the maximum skin surface temperature has been
measured at less than 106º F (41º C), verifi ed by Masimo sensor skin temperature test
procedure.
FUNCTIONAL SATURATION
The Radical-7R is calibrated to measure and display functional saturation (SpO2): the amount
of oxyhemoglobin expressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that is available to transport
oxygen. Note that carboxyhemoglobin is not capable of transporting oxygen, but is recognized
as oxygenated hemoglobin by conventional pulse oximetry.
Radical-7R vs. DRAWN WHOLE BLOOD MEASUREMENTS
When SpO2, SpCO, SpMet and SpHb measurements obtained from the Radical-7R (non-
invasive) are compared to drawn whole blood (invasive) measurements by blood gas and/or
laboratory CO-Oximetry methods, caution should be taken when evaluating and interpreting the
results. The blood gas and/or laboratory CO-Oximetry measurements may differ from the SpO2,
SpCO, SpMet, SpHb, SpOC, and SpHct measurements of the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter.
In the case of SpO2, different results are usually obtained from the arterial blood gas sample if
the calculated measurement is not appropriately corrected for the effects of variables that shift
the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) and saturation, such as: pH,
temperature, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), 2,3-DPG, and fetal hemoglobin.
In the case of SpCO, different results are also expected if concentration of methemoglobin in
the blood gas sample is abnormal (greater than 2% for methemoglobin concentration). High
levels of bilirubin may cause erroneous SpO2, SpMet, SpCO and SpHb readings. As blood
samples are usually taken over a period of 20 seconds (the time it takes to draw the blood)
a meaningful comparison can only be achieved if the oxygen saturation, carboxyhemoglobin
and methemoglobin concentration of the patient are stable and not changing over the period of
time that the blood gas sample is taken. Subsequently, blood gas and laboratory CO-Oximetry
measurements of SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, SpHb, SpOC and SpHct may vary with the rapid
administration of fluids and in procedures such as dialysis. Additionally, drawn, whole-blood
testing can be affected by sample handling methods and time elapsed between blood draw
and sample testing.
SIGNAL EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY (SET)
Masimo Signal Extraction Technology's signal processing differs from that of 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 venous 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 fi ltering. Adaptive
lters 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®), in parallel with Fast Saturation Transform® (FST®), reliably identifi es the noise, isolates
it and, using adaptive fi lters, cancels it. It then reports the true arterial oxygen saturation for display
on the monitor.

MEASUREMENTS DURING
PATIENT
MOTION
The Radical-7R displays measurements of SpCO, SpMet and SpHb during patient motion. However,
because of the changes in the physiological parameters such as blood volume, arterial-venous
coupling, etc., that occur during patient motion, the accuracy of such measurements may not be
reliable during excessive motion. The measurements for SpCO, SpMet and SpHb display “---” and a
message, “LOW SpCO SIQ”, “LOW SpMet SIQ” or “LOW SpHb SIQ”, displays to alert the clinician
that the instrument does not have confidence in the value due to poor signal quality caused by
excessive motion or other signal interference.
RAINBOW ACOUSTIC MONITORING
Rainbow Acoustic Monitoring is a real time, continuous, non-invasive method for measuring
respiration rate based on respiratory sounds. Respiratory sounds include sounds related to
respiration such as breath sounds (during inspiration and expiration), adventitious sounds,
cough sounds, snoring sounds, sneezing sounds, and sounds from the respiratory muscles
[1]. These respiratory sounds often have different characteristics depending on the location
of recording [2] and they originate in the large airways where air velocity and air turbulence
induce vibration in the airway wall. These vibrations are transmitted, for example, through
the lung tissue, thoracic wall and trachea to the surface where they may be heard with the
aid of a stethoscope, a microphone or more sophisticated devices.
Rainbow Acoustic Monitoring Architecture
The following figure illustrates how a respiratory sound produced by a patient can be turned
into a numerical measurement that corresponds to a respiratory parameter.

Patient
The generation of respiratory sounds is primarily related to turbulent respiratory airflow in
upper airways. Sound pressure waves within the airway gas and airway wall motion contrib-
ute to the vibrations that reach the body surface and are recorded as respiratory sounds.
Although the spectral shape of respiratory sounds varies widely from person to person, it is
often reproducible within the same person, likely reflecting the strong influence of individual
airway anatomy [2-6].
Sensor
The sensor captures and transmits respiratory sounds (and other biological sounds) much
like a microphone does. When subjected to a mechanical strain, (i.e., surface vibrations
generated during breathing), the sensor becomes electrically polarized. The degree of
polarization is proportional to the applied strain. This is known as the ‘Piezoelectric effect’ in
this manual. The output of the sensor is an electric signal that includes a sound signal that
is modulated by inspiratory and expiratory phases of the respiratory cycle.

Overview
Acquisition System
The acquisition system converts the electrical signal provided by the sensor into a digital
signal. This format allows the signal to be processed by a computing device.
Signal Processing
The digital signal produced by the acquisition system is converted into a measurement that
corresponds to the respiratory parameter of interest. As shown in the figure on the previous
page, this can be performed by, for example, determining the digital signal envelope or out-
line which in turn may be utilized to determine the respiratory rate. In this way, a real-time,
continuous breath rate parameter can be obtained and displayed on a monitor which, in
many cases, may be real-time and continuous.
The respiratory cycle envelope signal processing principle is similar to methods that sample
airway gases and subsequently determine a respiratory rate.

The Handheld portion of the Radical-7R contains the
majority of the Pulse CO-Oximeter features. All pulse co-
oximetry measurement information, as well as instrument
status data is displayed on the Handheld LCD screen.
All user input is performed through the control buttons
on the front panel. The sensor cable connector is located
on the Radical-7R Handheld Pulse CO-Oximeter.
The Handheld Pulse CO-Oximeter snaps into the Radical
Docking Station to provide a fully featured standalone
Pulse CO-Oximeter. The Docking Station connects
to AC power for standalone operation or charging of
the Handheld. An optional Docking Station battery is
available. The standalone Radical-7R features nurse
call, analog output and interfaces to serial printers.

2. Plug in the AC power cord to power entry module. Make sure it is securely plugged in.
3. Plug the AC power cord into an AC power source.
4. Verify that the batteries are charging.
The battery charging LED indicators on the Docking Station flash prior to charging and remain
illuminated while the batteries are charging.
Refer to Section 9, Battery Operation and Maintenance, for proper battery charging.
INITIAL INSTALLATION
Place the Docking Station on a stable hard flat surface near the patient. Always place the
Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter instrument on a dry surface. Maintain a minimum of 3 cm (1
inch) free space around the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter Standalone instrument. Make
sure that the Radical-7R speaker is not covered to avoid a muffled alarm sound.
The Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter Handheld, Docking Station or Standalone should not be
operated outside the following environmental conditions:
OPERATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
TEMPERATURE +5°C to +40°C, +41°F to +104°F

Setup
SatShare Setup
The Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter has been proven to be accurate during patient motion
and low perfusion conditions. Saturation and pulse rate values from the Radical-7R Pulse
CO-Oximeter may be displayed on a multiparameter monitor through the SatShare feature.
The SatShare feature provides an ideal, simulated waveform corresponding to the
measured saturation and pulse rate values determined by the Masimo SET technology.
This waveform may be used to display these values on multiparameter monitors through
the multiparameter oximetry sensor or input connector.
It is recommended that the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter is positioned close to the
multiparameter monitor with the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter screen visibly displaying
the plethysmographic waveform and the saturation and pulse rate measurements.
CAUTION: SIMULTANEOUS USE OF SATSHARE AND SERIAL PORT IS NOT
SUPPORTED.
SATSHARE SETUP
1. Select the SatShare cable that is appropriate for the multiparameter monitor that is
being connected. Check the Masimo web site at www.masimo.com for the latest list
of available SatShare cables and validated instruments.
2.
Connect the labeled end of the cable to the SatShare Cable Connector port on the
back of the Docking Station. Tighten the connector screws for a secure connection.
3.
Connect the other end of the SatShare cable either to the sensor connector of the
multiparameter monitor’s SpO2 cable or directly to the SpO2 connector on the monitor.
4. Verify that the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter recognizes the correct cable.
The name of the SatShare cable will be displayed on the LCD screen when the
SatShare mode is functional.
5. Set the multiparameter monitor’s high and low saturation and pulse rate alarm
limits as appropriate.
6. Set the multiparameter monitor’s averaging time to the lowest setting (i.e. fastest
response). The Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter’s ideal waveform necessitates
the need for additional averaging by the monitor. If the multiparameter monitor’s
averaging time is not changed, the time to display physiological changes in
saturation on the monitor will be increased with SatShare. However, the delay can
be minimized by reducing the multiparameter monitor’s averaging time.

7. While in the SatShare mode, if there are any significant discrepancies between
the readings from the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter and those on the monitor
displaying the values obtained from SatShare, the values reported by the Radical-
7R Pulse CO-Oximeter are to be considered the correct values.
8. To use the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter with SatShare while it is not connected
to AC power, set the Power Save parameter in the General menu to “No” and refer
to Section 4 Operation. Please note that if the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter
is used in this mode, the length of time the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter can
operate on battery power will be significantly diminished.
9. Set the SatShare Numbers and the Interface Alarms SpO2/pulse rate parameters
in the General menu according to customer preference.
When Rainbow parameters (SpCO, SpMet, SpHb, etc.) are configured, Interface
Alarms "SpO2/BPM" can be set to “Yes” or “No”. The “Yes” setting allows SpO2
and pulse rate audible alarms at both the Radical-7R and the interfaced system.
The “No” setting mutes the SpO2 and pulse rate audible alarms at the Radical-7R
while allowing SpO2 and pulse rate audible alarm alerts at the interfaced system.
The “No” setting prevents both systems (Radical-7R and interfaced system) from
producing audible alarms at the same time. See section 4: General.
NOTE: The Radical-7R reverts to Interface Alarm "SpO2/BPM" “Yes” during power
interruptions or when the SatShare connection is lost or the device becomes
separated from the docking station. This ensures that the Radical-7R provides
audible alarms for SpO2 and pulse rate when the connection to the interfaced
system becomes compromised.
10. If displaying the simulated waveform is not desirable, it is recommended to turn off
the plethysmographic waveform display of the multiparameter patient monitor.
SATSHARE SIGNALS ARE IDEAL SIMULATED WAVEFORMS CORRESPONDING TO THE
CALCULATED SATURATION AND PULSE RATE VALUES AND DO NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN PHYSIOLOGICAL WAVEFORMS. THE MULTIPARAMETER PATIENT
MONITOR TRANSLATES THESE SIGNALS INTO SATURATION AND PULSE RATE VALUES.
DURING SATSHARE OPERATION, THE AUDIBLE ALARMS MAY BE MUTED ON THE RADICAL-7R
PULSE CO-OXIMETER. WHEN THE AUDIBLE ALARM IS MUTED (INDICATED BY THE BELL WITH A
SLASH THROUGH IT) ON THE RADICAL-7R PULSE CO-OXIMETER, USE THE MULTI-PARAMETER
MONITOR FOR AUDIBLE ALARM INDICATION.
DURING SATSHARE OPERATION DO NOT USE THE PLETHYSMOGRAPHIC WAVEFORM
DISPLAY ON THE MULTIPARAMETER MONITOR FOR DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSES. INSTEAD,
USE THE PLETHYSMOGRAPHIC WAVEFORM DISPLAYED ON THE RADICAL-7R PULSE
CO-OXIMETER SCREEN
TO AVOID EXCESSIVE BATTERY DISCHARGING, DO NOT CONNECT ANY EQUIPMENT TO THE
SATSHARE CONNECTOR UNLESS THE RADICAL-7R PULSE CO-OXIMETER IS CONNECTED TO
THE AC MAINS POWER SUPPLY.
ONLY USE A SATSHARE CABLE THAT HAS A FERRITE BEAD INSTALLED.
ONLY SpO2 AND PULSE RATE CAN BE DISPLAYED ON THE MULTIPARAMETER MONITOR

Operation
Introduction
To operate the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter effectively, the instrument must be set up
properly and the operator must:
Know how the Pulse CO-Oximeter derives its readings (see Section 1, Pulse CO-Oximetry).
Be familiar with its controls, components and operation.
Understand its status and alarm messages (see Section 5, Alarm Identification, System
Messages and Section 6, Troubleshooting).
Basic Operation
GENERAL SETUP AND USE
1. Inspect the Pulse CO-Oximeter case for damage.
2. Connect a patient cable, Dual Rainbow Cable or a direct cable sensor to the Patient
Cable Connector of the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter. Make sure it is a firm connection
and the cable is not twisted, sliced or frayed.
3. If utilizing the Standalone setup, ensure that the power cord is plugged into the Power
Cable Connector of the Docking Station and into the AC power.
4. If utilizing a patient cable or Dual Rainbow Cable, select a sensor that is compatible
with the Pulse CO-Oximeter before connecting it to the patient cable or instrument. See
section 8, Sensors and Patient Cables. If using a single patient adhesive or disposable
sensor, check that the emitter (red light) and the detector are properly aligned. Remove
any substances that may interfere with the transmission of light between the sensor’s light
source and detector. If using an Acoustic Respiration sensor, ensure that the patient's neck
area is clean and dry.
5. Attach the sensor to the patient. Refer to the Directions for Use of the sensor.
6. Connect the sensor to the instrument (or patient cable) with the logos lining up; make sure
it is a firm connection.
7. Press the Power/Standby button to turn the Pulse CO-Oximeter on.
8. Make sure the display window is free of alarm and system failure messages (see Section
5, Alarms and Messages).
9. On the display, verify:
The high and low alarm limits for SpO2, RRa, SpMet, SpCO, SpHb, PI, PVI, and pulse rate.
The readings for SpO2, RRa, SpMet, SpCO, SpHb, SpOC, SpHct, PI, PVI, and pulse rate.
NOTE: “- - -” initially shows in the numeric display fields for all the parameters/measurements
when the Radical-7R is turned on. As the system starts monitoring, the numeric display fields
update (refresh). The numeric display fields for the parameters/measurements begin to show
numbers during the refresh cycles even though the numbers have not stabilized; during this
period, the measurement label will flash to indicate that the measurement value is being
processed. When the flashing stops, the number has stabilized. In the case of SpHb and PVI, the
numeric value will be displayed upon initial stabilization of the number, and the parameter label
will continue to flash for an additional processing period to reach optimal confidence.

Section 4, Successful Monitoring.
15. Monitor the patient.
16. After monitoring is complete, remove the sensor from the patient and store or dispose of
the sensor according to governing rules. See the Directions for Use of the sensor.
17. Press and hold the Power/Standby Button for 2 seconds to turn the instrument off.
Successful Monitoring
The following general points will aid in ensuring Pulse CO-Oximetry monitoring success.
Place the sensor on a site that has sufficient perfusion and provides proper alignment of the LEDs and detector.
Place the sensor on a site that has unrestricted blood flow.
Do not secure a sensor with tape.
Do not select a site near potential electrical interference (electrosurgical unit, for example).
Read the sensor Directions for Use for proper sensor application.

Operation
NOTE: When a Masimo Rainbow Sensor is properly connected to the patient, the instru-
ment normally goes through a 20-30 second sensor calibration/pulse search routine and
then displays numeric values installed on the instrument and supported by the sensor.
It also provides graphical displays for plethysmographic waveform, Signal Identification
and Quality Indicator (Signal IQ®). However, if the sensor calibration/pulse search routine
is unsuccessful for Rainbow parameters/measurements, the instrument automatically
switches to a “SpO2 Only Mode” to provide SpO2, PR, PI and PVI values.
MASIMO PULSE CO-OXIMETRY SENSORS
Before use, carefully read the Masimo sensor Directions for Use.
Use only Masimo sensors for pulse oximetry or pulse CO-Oximetry measurements.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of a 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.
NOTE: When monitoring Acoustic Respiration, Masimo recommends minimally monitoring
both oxygenation (SpO2) and respiration (RRa).
If a Masimo Rainbow Direct Connect Reusable Sensor is being used and “SpO2 Only Mode”
appears on the LCD display screen, perform one of the following steps to obtain Rainbow
values:
Remove the sensor from the patient and properly reapply (recommended).
Remove the cable connector from the instrument and reconnect.
Turn the power off and on at the instrument.
If a Masimo Rainbow Adhesive Sensor is being used and “SpO2 Only Mode” appears on the
display screen, perform one of the following steps to to obtain Rainbow values:
Disconnect sensor cable connector from patient cable connector and reconnect
(recommended).
Verify proper sensor placement. Remove sensor from patient and reapply, if necessary.
Remove patient cable connector from the instrument and reconnect.
When high intensity extreme lights (including pulsating strobe lights) are directed at the sensor or other
sources of interference are present, cover the sensor by applying a Masimo Optical Light Shield.

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 confidence in 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 Pulse CO-Oximeter and reduce the measured variations of SpO2
and pulse rate. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by
:
Elevated levels of Carboxyhemoglobin.
Elevated levels of Methemoglobin.
Severe anemia.
Elevated Total Bilirubin levels.
Low arterial perfusion.
Motion artifact.
NUMERIC DISPLAY - PULSE RATE
The Pulse Rate displayed on the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter 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 cause the
pulse rate displayed on the Pulse CO-Oximeter to be significantly different than the ECG heart rate
.
NUMERIC DISPLAY - RRa
Rainbow Acoustic Monitoring continuously measures a patient’s respiration rate based on air-
flow sounds generated in the upper airway. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:
Excessive ambient or environmental noise.
Improper sensor placement.
NUMERIC DISPLAY - SpCO
A stable SpCO reading is associated with correct sensor placement, small physiological
changes during the measurement and acceptable levels of arterial perfusion in the patient’s
fingertip (measurement site). Physiological changes at the measurement site are mainly
caused by fluctuations in the oxygen saturation, blood concentration and perfusion. Inaccurate
measurements may be caused by:
Levels of methemoglobin approximately 1.5% or above.
Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
Abnormal hemoglobin levels.
Low arterial perfusion.
Low arterial oxygen saturation levels.
Elevated Total Bilirubin levels.
Motion artifact.
NUMERIC DISPLAY - SpMet
A stable SpMet reading is associated with correct sensor placement, small physiological
changes during the measurement and acceptable levels of arterial perfusion in the patient’s
fingertip (measurement site). Physiological changes at the measurement site are mainly
Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter Operator’s Manual 4-5

caused by fluctuations in the oxygen saturation, blood concentration and perfusion. Inaccurate
measurements may be caused by:
Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
Low arterial perfusion.
Low arterial oxygen saturation levels.
Elevated Total Bilirubin levels.
Motion artifact.
NUMERIC DISPLAY - SpHb
A stable SpHb reading is associated with correct sensor placement, small physiological changes
during the measurement and acceptable levels of arterial perfusion at the measurement site.
Physiological changes at the measurement site are mainly caused by fluctuations in the oxygen
saturation, blood concentration and perfusion. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:
Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
Low arterial perfusion.
Low arterial oxygen saturation levels.
Elevated Total Bilirubin levels.
Motion artifact.
NUMERIC DISPLAY - SPOC
A stable SpOC reading is associated with stable readings for both SpO2 and SpHb which
comes with correct sensor placement, small physiological changes during the measurement
and acceptable levels of arterial perfusion at the measurement site. Physiological changes
at the measurement site are mainly caused by fluctuations in the oxygen saturation, blood
concentration and perfusion. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:
Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
Low arterial perfusion.
Low arterial oxygen saturation levels.
Elevated Total Bilirubin levels.
Motion artifact.
Elevated levels of carboxyhemoglobin.
Elevated levels of methemoglobin.
Severe anemia may cause erroneous SpOC readings.
NUMERIC DISPLAY - SpHct
A stable SpHct reading is associated with stable readings for SpHb which comes with correct
sensor placement, small physiological changes during the measurement and acceptable levels
of arterial perfusion at the measurement site. Physiological changes at the measurement site
are mainly caused by fluctuations in the oxygen saturation, blood concentration and perfusion.
Inaccurate calculations may be caused by
:
Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
Low arterial perfusion.
Low arterial oxygen saturation levels.
Elevated Total Bilirubin levels.
Motion artifact.

SIGNAL INDICATION AND QUALITY INDICATOR (SIQ)
The Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter 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 Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter is called
the SpO2 SIQ. The SpO2 SIQ can be used to identify the occurrence of a patient’s pulse and
the associated signal quality of the measurement.
With motion, the plethysmographic waveform is often distorted and may be obscured by
artifact. Even with a plethysmographic waveform obscured by artifact, the Radical-7R Pulse
CO-Oximeter locates the arterial pulsation.
When the signal quality is very low the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement may be
compromised, and a Low SpO2 SIQ message is displayed in the message area on the
Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter display. When the Low SPO2 SIQ message appears, proceed
with caution and do the following:
Assess the patient.
Check the sensor and ensure proper sensor application. The sensor must be well secured
to the site for the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter to maintain accurate readings. Also,
misalignment of the sensor’s emitter and detector can result in smaller signals and cause
erroneous readings.
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 an
episode of Raynaud’s syndrome.)
With neonates or infants, check that the peripheral blood flow to the sensor site is not
interrupted. Interruption, for example, may occur while lifting or crossing their legs during
a diaper change.
After performing the above, if the Low SpO2 SIQ message is displayed frequently or
continuously, obtaining an arterial blood specimen for CO-Oximetry analysis may be considered
to verify the oxygen saturation value.
Low SpCO SIQ and Low SpMet SIQ
When the signal quality for SpCO and/or SpMet is very low the accuracy of the SpCO and/or
SpMet measurement(s) may be compromised, and a Low SpCO SIQ and/or Low SpMet SIQ
message is displayed in the message area on the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter display. When
the Low message(s) appear, proceed with caution and follow the steps listed in Section 4, Signal
Indication and Quality Indicator (SiQ).
Low SpHb SIQ
When the SpHb signal quality is very low, the accuracy of the SpHb measurement may be
compromised. A Low SpHb SIQ message is displayed in the message area on the Radical-7R
Pulse CO-Oximeter display, and the parameter/measurement value will display dashes (“---”)
instead of a number value for SpOC and SpHct.

SIGNAL INDICATION AND QUALITY INDICATOR - ACOUSTIC (SIQa)
SIQa displays the confidence level of the measured signal. A high confidence level
displays as a high percentage. When the SIQa is high and the parameter label flash-
es, there may be interference from excessive ambient or environmental noise. A low
confidence level displays as a low percentage. A very small signal, with a red bar, may
indicate that the acuracy of the respiration rate measurement may be compromised.
Whenever the parameter label flashes, proceed with caution and do the following:
Assess the patient.
Check the Acoustic Respiration sensor and ensure proper sensor application.
The Acoustic Respiration sensor and ensure proper application. The Acoustic
Respiration sensor must be well secured to the site for the Radical-7R to
maintain accurate readings. Refer to the Acoustic Respiration sensor's
Directions for Use for proper sensor placement.
Identify and remove excessive ambient or environmental noise sources affect-
ing the Acoustic Respiration value.
RESPIRATION INDICATOR (RI)
The Respiration Indicator (RI) displays the sound level of the measured signal. A high
sound level displays as a tall signal. A low sound level displays as a small signal. When
the signal quality is very small the accuracy of the respiration rate measurement may be
compromised. When the RI is small, the bar turns red and the parameter label flashes.
Proceed with caution and do the following:
Assess the patient.
Check the Acoustic Respiration sensor and ensure proper sensor application. The
Acoustic Respiration sensor must be well secured to the site for the Radical-7R to
maintain accurate readings. Refer to the Acoustic Respiration sensor's Directions
for Use for proper sensor placement.
ACOUSTIC RESPIRATION SENSOR PLACEMENT
Only use on adult patients weighing > 30 kg.
The preferred measuring site is to either side of the larynx, in the area just above
the thyroid cartilage and below the jaw line. Refer to the Acoustic Respiration sen-
sor's Directions for Use for proper sensor placement.
Site should be hair-free, cleaned of debris and dry prior to sensor placement. Use
an alcohol swab to clean the neck area, if needed.
Ensure that the Acoustic Respiration sensor, Acoustic Respiration Patient Cable
and Dual Rainbow Cable are all securely connected.
NOTE: When the Acoustic Respiration Sensor is off the patient and is connected
to the system the sensor may pick up periodic ambient sounds and
report a measurement. The sensor should only be connected to the
Acoustic Respiration Patient Cable while performing patient monitoring. If
the patient is not being monitored, the sensor should be disconnected from
the Acoustic Respiration Patient Cable.

NUMERIC DISPLAY - (PI)
The perfusion index (PI) display provides a relative numeric indication of the pulse strength at
the monitoring site. It is a calculated percentage of the pulsatile signal to non-pulsatile signal
of arterial blood moving through the site. PI may be used to find the best perfused site and to
monitor physiological changes in the patient. It displays an operating range of 0.01 percent
to 20.00 percent. A percentage greater than 1.00 percent is desired. Extreme changes in the
display number are due to motion artifact and changes in physiology and blood flow. The PI
measurement is displayed as follows:
0.99 (2 decimal places)
1.0 to 9.9 (1 decimal place)
10 (0 decimal places)
PLETH VARIABILITY INDEX - (PVI)
The pleth variability index (PVI) is a measure of the dynamic changes in the perfusion index
(PI) that occur during the respiratory cycle. The calculation is accomplished by measuring
changes in PI over a time interval where one or more complete respiratory cycles have
occurred. PVI is displayed as a percentage (0-100%).
LOW PERFUSION
The Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter displays a “Low PI” message when there are very low
amplitude arterial pulsations.
It has been suggested that at extremely low perfusion levels, pulse oximeters can measure
peripheral saturation, which may differ from central arterial saturation3. 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.)
CAUTION: IF THE LOW PI MESSAGE IS FREQUENTLY DISPLAYED, FIND A BETTER-
PERFUSED MONITORING SITE. IN THE INTERIM, ASSESS THE PATIENT
AND, IF INDICATED, VERIFY OXYGENATION STATUS THROUGH OTHER
MEANS.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
If the SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, SpHb, SpOC, SpHct, PVI, PI or pulse rate readings show significant
differences, do the following:
Make sure the emitter and detector are aligned directly opposite each other.
Select a site where the distance between the emitter and detector is minimized.
Wipe the sensor site with a 70% isopropyl alcohol pad or rubefacient cream (10-30% methyl
salicylate and 2-10% menthol) for 20-30 seconds to increase perfusion. However, strong
vasodilator creams, such as nitroglycerin paste, are not recommended.
If possible, remove electrical noise sources such as electrosurgical units or other electrical/
electronic equipment. If these solutions are not possible, operate the Pulse CO-Oximeter on
battery power, or try plugging the Pulse CO-Oximeter into a different electrical outlet.
If artificial nails or excessive fingernail polish are present, select another site or remove the
polish/artificial nails.
If possible, ensure that the sensor is placed in a location with low ambient or low strobing
light. Although the Radical-7R with integrated Masimo Rainbow SET technology has
Operation
Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter Operator’s Manual 4-9

Operation
significant immunity to ambient or strobing light, excessive ambient or excessive strobing
light may cause readings to be incorrect.
CAUTION: IF ANY MEASUREMENT SEEMS QUESTIONABLE, FIRST CHECK THE
PATIENT’S VITAL SIGNS BY ALTERNATE MEANS AND THEN CHECK THE
PULSE CO-OXIMETER FOR PROPER FUNCTIONING.
SENSITIVITY
Three sensitivity levels enable a clinician to tailor the response of the Radical-7R to the needs
of the particular patient situation. They are as follows:
Normal Sensitivity – This is the recommended mode for patients that are experiencing
some compromise in blood flow or perfusion. It is advisable for care areas where patients
are observed frequently, such as an intensive care unit (ICU).
Adaptive Probe Off Detection (APOD) – This is the recommended monitoring mode where there
is a high probability of the sensor becoming detached. It is also the suggested mode for care
areas where patients are not visually monitored continuously. This mode delivers enhanced
protection against erroneous pulse rate and arterial oxygen saturation readings when a sensor
becomes inadvertently detached from a patient due to excessive movement.
Maximum Sensitivity (MAX) - This mode is recommended for patients with low perfusion or
when the low perfusion message is displayed on the screen in APOD or normal sensitivity
mode. This mode is not recommended for care areas where patients are not monitored
visually, such as general wards. It is designed to interpret and display data at the measuring
site when the signal may be weak due to decreased perfusion. When a sensor becomes
detached from a patient, it will have compromised protection against erroneous pulse rate
and arterial saturation readings.
CAUTION: WHEN USING THE MAXIMUM SENSITIVITY SETTING, PERFORMANCE
OF THE SENSOR OFF DETECTION MAY BE COMPROMISED. IF THE
INSTRUMENT IS IN THIS SETTING AND THE SENSOR BECOMES
DISLODGED FROM THE PATIENT, THE POTENTIAL FOR FALSE READINGS
MAY OCCUR DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL ‘NOISE’ SUCH AS LIGHT, VIBRATION
AND EXCESSIVE AIR MOVEMENT.

SatShare Operation
When the SatShare cable is connected to the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter and to a
multiparameter patient monitor, the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter automatically starts to
operate in the SatShare mode.
In the SatShare mode, Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter operates as follows:
All visual alarms remain active.
All audible alarms may be disabled by software configuration of the Radical-7R Pulse
CO-Oximeter. Refer to Section 4, Alarms.
The SpO2 and pulse rate numbers may or may not be displayed on the Radical-7R
Pulse CO-Oximeter display depending on the SatShare Numbers setting of the
General menu. Refer to Section 3, SatShare Setup.
All other items are displayed, including the alarm limits, the plethysmogram and Signal
IQ waveform.
The user can access the menu system.
If the SatShare cable is connected to the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter only, and not
to a patient monitor, the SatShare cable type is flashing on the LCD screen.
Once the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter detects the presence of a patient monitor,
the SatShare cable type remains constantly displayed on the LCD screen.
Patient Alarms of the multiparameter patient monitor will be triggered by the
alarm setting of the patient monitor and not the Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter. To
synchronize the alarm events set the alarm limits of the Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter
to those of the patient monitor, or vice versa.
Once the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter detects that the SatShare cable is
disconnected from the patient monitor, or if the patient monitor is turned off, the
Radical-7R automatically returns to normal, standalone operation.
In the SatShare mode, the pulse beep tone of the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter
is initially set to the lowest volume (mute). The pulse beep volume can be manually
increased. Refer to Section 4, Traditional User Interface.
The Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter may automatically set the averaging time during
SatShare operation. For averaging times of 10 seconds and higher, the Radical-7
Pulse CO-Oximeter will automatically set the averaging time to 8 seconds during
SatShare operation. Averaging times of 2, 4 or 8 seconds remain unchanged during
SatShare operation. When the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter returns to non-
SatShare operation, the Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter will maintain the averaging
time setting used in the SatShare mode.
When the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter starts to operate in the SatShare mode the
sensitivity mode is set to Normal sensitivity. The sensitivity mode can manually be set
to Maximum or APOD sensitivity. Refer to Section 2, Handheld Front Panel.

SatShare Operation (continued)
While operating in the SatShare mode, the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter may
automatically disable the SatShare interface if the perfusion index drops below 0.1%
while the sensitivity is set to Max sensitivity. To enable the SatShare interface again,
set the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter to the Normal or APOD sensitivity mode,
increase the perfusion at the measurement site (by warming the patient or sensor
site), or move the sensor to a site with better perfusion.
CAUTIONS:
SATSHARE SIGNALS ARE IDEAL SIMULATED WAVEFORMS CORRESPONDING
TO THE CALCULATED SATURATION AND PULSE RATE VALUES AND DO
NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN PHYSIOLOGICAL
WAVEFORMS. THE MULTIPARAMETER PATIENT MONITOR DECODES THESE
SIGNALS INTO SATURATION AND PULSE RATE VALUES.
DURING SATSHARE OPERATION, THE AUDIBLE ALARMS MAY BE MUTED
ON THE RADICAL-7R PULSE CO-OXIMETER. WHEN THE AUDIBLE ALARM
IS MUTED (INDICATED BY A BELL WITH A SLASH THROUGH IT) ON THE
RADICAL-7 PULSE CO-OXIMETER, USE THE MULTIPARAMETER MONITOR FOR
AUDIBLE ALARM INDICATION.
THE (RADICAL-7R) SpO2 AND PULSE RATE AUDIBLE ALARMS MAY BE
DISABLED WHEN THE RADICAL-7R IS CONFIGURED WITH RAINBOW
PARAMETERS/MEASUREMENTS. REFER TO SECTION 4 ALARMS.
THE RADICAL-7R REVERTS TO THE INTERFACE ALARM "SpO2/BPM" “Yes”
SETTING DURING POWER INTERRUPTIONS OR WHEN THE SATSHARE
CONNECTION IS LOST OR THE DEVICE BECOMES SEPARATED FROM THE
DOCKING STATION. THIS ENSURES THAT THE RADICAL-7R PROVIDES
AUDIBLE ALARMS FOR SpO2 AND PULSE RATE WHEN THE CONNECTION TO
THE INTERFACED SYSTEM BECOMES COMPROMISED.
DURING SATSHARE OPERATION DO NOT USE THE PLETHYSMOGRAPHIC
WAVEFORM DISPLAY ON THE MULTIPARAMETER MONITOR FOR DIAGNOSTIC
PURPOSES. INSTEAD, USE THE PLETHYSMOGRAPHIC WAVEFORM DISPLAYED
ON THE RADICAL-7R SCREEN.
TO AVOID EXCESSIVE BATTERY DISCHARGING, DO NOT CONNECT ANY
EQUIPMENT TO THE SATSHARE CONNECTOR UNLESS THE RADICAL-7R IS
CONNECTED TO THE AC MAINS POWER SUPPLY.
ONLY USE A SATSHARE CABLE THAT HAS A FERRITE BEAD INSTALLED.
ONLY SPO2 AND PULSE RATE CAN BE DISPLAYED ON THE MULTIPARAMETER
MONITOR WITH SATSHARE.
To return from SatShare operation to normal standalone operation, simply disconnect
the SatShare cable from the patient monitor or disconnect the SatShare cable from the
SatShare connector on the back of the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter.

Sensors & Patient Cables
Introduction
This section covers the use and cleaning of Masimo sensors and patient cables.
Before use of any sensor, carefully read the sensor’s Directions for Use.
Use only Masimo sensors and cables with the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter. Other
transducers, sensors and cables may affect the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter performance.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of a 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, correct positioning and adhesion of the sensor.
CAUTIONS:
DO NOT USE DAMAGED SENSORS OR PATIENT CABLES. DO NOT USE A SENSOR
OR PATIENT CABLE WITH EXPOSED OPTICAL OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE SENSOR OR PATIENT CABLE IN WATER, SOLVENTS, OR
CLEANING SOLUTIONS (THE SENSORS AND CONNECTORS ARE NOT WATERPROOF).
UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, DO NOT STERILIZE SENSORS OR PATIENT
CABLES BY IRRADIATION, STEAM, AUTOCLAVE OR ETHYLENE OXIDE. SEE
THE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE FOR REUSABLE
MASIMO SENSORS.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPROCESS, RECONDITION OR RECYCLE ANY MASIMO
SENSORS OR PATIENT CABLES AS THESE PROCESSES MAY DAMAGE THE
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO PATIENT HARM.
ALL SENSORS AND CABLES ARE DESIGNED FOR USE WITH SPECIFIC
MONITORS. VERIFY THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE MONITOR, CABLE AND SENSOR
BEFORE USE, OTHERWISE PATIENT INJURY CAN RESULT.
TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE CABLES, ALWAYS HOLD THE CABLE BY
THE CONNECTOR RATHER THAN THE CABLE WHEN CONNECTING OR
DISCONNECTING EITHER END.
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 tables or contact your Sales Representative. Use only Masimo 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. Monitor, cables
and sensors must be compatible to ensure optimal performance. Incompatible components
effect operation or data recovery.
High intensity extreme lights (such as pulsating strobe lights) directed on the CO-Oximeter
sensors, may not allow the sensor to obtain measurements. Excessive ambient light sources
such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent
lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight, as well as other monitor displays can
interfere with the performance of the sensor. To prevent interference from ambient light,
ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor site with a Masimo Optical
Shield, if required. Failure to take this precaution in excessive ambient light conditions may
result in inaccurate measurements.
SENSOR APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unless indicated otherwise in the directions for use, reposition reusable sensors at least every 4
hours and for adhesive sensors inspect the site at least every 8 hours or sooner. If indicated by
circulatory condition or skin integrity, reapply to a different monitoring site.

battery. The Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter Docking Station may include the optional 6.5 Amp-
Hour Nickel Metal Hydride battery.
Before using the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter as a Handheld or transport monitor, the
Handheld battery and the optional Docking Station battery need to be fully charged.
To charge the battery(s), attach the Handheld instrument to the Docking Station. Ensure that
AC power is attached to the Docking Station. Verify that the battery(s) is charging; the battery
charging LED indicators on the Docking Station flash prior to charging and remain illuminated
while the battery(s) is charging. A continuously flashing battery charging LED indicates that the
internal battery temperature exceeds recommended operating conditions for proper battery
charging. Proper battery charging will proceed when the temperature returns to recommended
operating conditions.
The Handheld battery requires approximately 2 to 3 hours for charging. The optional Docking
Station battery requires approximately 6 hours for charging.
When the battery charging LED indicators turn off, additional trickle charging may occur to complete
charging. Although battery charging can occur while the Handheld is docked and powered on, most
efficient charge times are achieved with the Handheld instrument turned off.
CAUTIONS:
ALL BATTERIES LOSE CAPACITY WITH AGE, THUS THE AMOUNT OF RUN TIME
LEFT AT LOW BATTERY WILL VARY DEPENDING UPON THE AGE OF THE BATTERY.
