These operating instructions provide the necessary information for proper operation of all models of the Root. 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 Root are prerequisites for its proper use.
About This Manual This manual explains how to set up and use Root® with noninvasive blood pressure and temperature. Important safety information relating to general use of Root appears in this manual. Read and follow any warnings, cautions, and notes presented throughout this manual.
Ability to display data from external devices using Bluetooth. For all prescribing information and instructions for use of the compatible medical devices that are connected to Root, see Operator’s Manual or Instructions for Use for the specific medical device. Intended Use The Masimo Root Monitoring System is indicated for use by healthcare professionals for the monitoring of multiple physiological parameters in healthcare environments.
Page 12
In addition, the Masimo Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter and accessories are indicated to provide the continuous non-invasive monitoring data obtained from the Masimo Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter and accessories of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO and pulse rate to multi-parameter devices for the display of those devices.
Root NIBPT Product Description and Features, Intended Use and Indications for Use The optional non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) module is indicated for the noninvasive measurement of arterial blood pressure in healthcare environments. The NIBP module is designed to measure blood pressure for patient population described in the following table:...
WARNING: Do not use Root during or nearby magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or in an MRI environment. WARNING: Do not place Root or accessories in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient. WARNING: To ensure safety, avoid stacking multiple devices or placing anything on the device during operation.
Page 16
Note: Do not monitor more than a single patient at a time on Root. Note: It is recommended that Root is attached to an AC power source when it is not in use to ensure that the battery remains fully charged.
Page 17
Root NIBPT Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions WARNING: Do not use or stop blood pressure measurements if the patient appears to be affected by the pressurization of the cuff due to a physical condition (i.e. pregnant, pre-eclamptic, etc.) WARNING: Too frequent blood pressure measurements can cause injury to the patient due to blood flow interference.
Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions Performance Warnings and Cautions WARNING: Root should not be used as the sole basis for medical decisions. It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms. WARNING: Root may be used during defibrillation. This may affect the accuracy or availability of the parameters and measurements.
Page 19
Note: Root’s alarm capabilities have been designed to be independent of the Wi-Fi communication feature in order to preserve Root’s primary alarms. Note: When the Root monitor is in synchronized waveform view, the EEG Chart Speed of the SedLine Window cannot be changed.
CAUTION: Do not submerge the Root in any cleaning solution or attempt to sterilize by autoclave, irradiation, steam, gas, ethylene oxide or any other method. This will seriously damage the device.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a hospital environment. Note: This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Note: Root is not intended for use during patient transport outside the healthcare facility. www.masimo.com Masimo...

Root NIBPT Chapter 15: Specifications Guidance and Manufacturer's Declaration - Electromagnetic Immunity Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the ME Equipment, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
Root NIBPT Chapter 15: Specifications Guidance and Manufacturer's Declaration - Electromagnetic Immunity (a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.
Root NIBPT Chapter 15: Specifications For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

Span Point Calibration. See Zero Point Calibration on page 152 and Span Point Calibration on page 153. If the NIBP module pressure and manometer pressure still differ BEYOND the ±3mmHg tolerance, contact Masimo Technical Services. See Masimo Technical Services on page 160.
If a "Result Failure" message appears, repeat the test by applying 250mmHg to the NIBP module and pressing Calibrate. If the "Result Failure" message is repetitive, contact Masimo Technical Services. See Masimo Technical Services on page 160. After successful Span Point Calibration, press the back button to go back to the CALIBRATION menu screen.
