The Radical-7 operating instructions provide the necessary information for proper operation of all models of the Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter system. There may be information provided in this manual that is not relevant for your system. General knowledge of pulse oximetry and an understanding of the features and functions of the Radical-7 are prerequisites for its proper use.
This manual explains how to set up and use the Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter. Important safety information relating to general use of the Radical-7 appears in this manual. Read and follow any warnings, cautions, and notes presented throughout this manual. The following are explanations of warnings, cautions, and notes.
(SpHb), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), methemoglobin (SpMet), total oxygen content (SpOC), Pleth Variability Index (PVI), and Acoustic Respiration Rate (RRa). The Radical-7 can be used as either a Handheld or a Standalone monitor. The Radical-7 features a touchscreen Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that continuously displays numeric values for all parameters.
(SpCO), methemoglobin saturation (SpMet), total hemoglobin concentration (SpHb), and/or respiratory rate (RRa). The Masimo Radical-7 and accessories have been validated and are indicated for use with adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile, and home environments.
Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions The following section lists warnings, caution, notes, and safety information. The Radical-7 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.

Device Related Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions This section contains device related safety information. Warning Explosion hazard: Do not use the Radical-7 in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other flammable substance in combination with air, oxygen-enriched environments, or nitrous oxide.
Page 17
Note: The Radical-7 can be used during defibrillation, but the readings may be inaccurate for up to 20 seconds. Note: Do not place containers with liquids on or near the Radical-7. Liquids spilled on the instrument may cause it to perform inaccurately or fail.
Page 18
Note: If the Radical Docking Station is compatible with SafetyNet, Vuelink is not supported. Use the Radical-7 in accordance with Environmental Specifications section in of this manual. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Dispose of used batteries according to required country or regional instructions. Caution Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Replace with Masimo supplied parts only. Caution At Low Battery, connect the Radical-7 to AC power to prevent loss of power. www.masimo.com Masimo...
Page 20
Note: All external instrument connections to the Analog Output/Nurse Call connector must be IEC-60950 compliant. Note: It is recommended that the Radical-7 Handheld is docked to the Docking Station that is attached to an AC power source when it is not in use to ensure that the battery remains fully charged.
Note: Use the power cord as the means to disconnect the instrument from the main power supply. Note: If the Radical-7 Handheld has not been used or charged within seven (7) days or more, then recharge the battery prior to use.
Caution Do not place the Radical-7 against a surface that may cause the alarm to be muffled. Caution To ensure that alarm limits are appropriate for the patient being monitored, check the limits each time the Radical-7 is used.

(DFU). Note: Do not expose the Masimo sensors used with Radical-7 to moisture, liquids or a humid environment, as this may make the sensor perform inaccurately or fail.
(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.
SpO2 and pulse rate. Functional Oxygen Saturation The Radical-7 is calibrated to measure and display functional oxygen saturation (SpO2): the amount of oxyhemoglobin expressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that is available to transport oxygen.
Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview General Description for Pulse Rate (PR) Pulse rate (PR) , measured in beats per minute (BPM) is based on the optical detection of peripheral flow pulse. General Description for Perfusion Index (PI) The Perfusion Index (PI) is the ratio of the pulsatile blood flow to the non-pulsatile or static blood in peripheral tissue.
Page 28
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) (7 + wavelengths) Detector Once the Radical-7 receives the signal from the sensor, it utilizes proprietary algorithms 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).
Page 29
The blood gas and/or laboratory CO-Oximetry measurements may differ from the SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, SpHb, and SpOC measurements of the Radical-7. Any comparisons should be simultaneous, meaning the measurement on the device should be noted at the exact time that blood is drawn.
Page 30
Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview General Description for Total Arterial Oxygen Content (CaO2) 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.
Cautions on page 11. SpCO, SpMet, and SpHb Measurements During Patient Motion The Radical-7 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.

Page 33
Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview 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 previous figure, this can be performed by, for example, determining the digital signal envelope or outline which in turn may be utilized to determine the respiratory rate.
