These operating instructions provide the necessary information for proper operation of all models of the Rad-G. 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 Rad-G are prerequisites for its proper use.
About This Manual This manual explains how to set up and use the Rad-G®. Important safety information relating to general use of Rad-G 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.
Product Description, Features and Indications for Product Description The Rad-G® is intended for the noninvasive spot-checking of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), perfusion index (Pi), pleth variability index (PVi ), and pleth ® respiration rate (RRp ®...
Safety Warnings and Cautions WARNING: Do not use Rad-G if it appears or is suspected to be damaged. Damage to the device can result in exposed electrical circuits that may cause patient harm.
WARNING: Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Rad-G, including cables specified. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.

Rad-G Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions • Abnormal venous pulsations (e.g. tricuspid value regurgitation, Trendelenburg position). • Abnormal pulse rhythms due to physiological conditions or induced through external factors (e.g. cardiac arrhythmias, intra-aortic balloon, etc.). • Externally applied coloring and texture such as nail polish, acrylic nails, glitter, etc.

CAUTION: If using Rad-G during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the radiation field. If the sensor is exposed to the radiation, the reading might be inaccurate or the device might read zero for the duration of the active irradiation period.
Note: When using the Maximum Sensitivity setting, performance of the "Sensor Off" detection may be compromised. If the Rad-G 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.

CAUTION: Device contains an internal battery. Dispose of the battery according to country or regional requirements. CAUTION: Use only the recommended patient cable or direct connect sensor provided by Masimo. See Masimo website for details. (www.masimo.com) Note: Use Rad-G in accordance with the Environmental Specifications section in the Operator's Manual.

SpO pulse rate. Functional Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) The Rad-G is calibrated to measure and display functional oxygen saturation (SpO ): the amount of oxyhemoglobin expressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that is available to transport oxygen.
Rad-G Chapter 1: Rad-G Technology Overview 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. Pi thus represents a noninvasive measure of peripheral perfusion that can be noninvasively obtained from a pulse oximeter.

Note: Rad-G can be used while the power supply is plugged into an outlet. WARNING: Only use the AC power supply provided by Masimo. Using a different AC power supply could result in degraded performance and/or patient injury, and cause damage to Rad-G. Check the power cord and plug to ensure that it is intact and undamaged.
Unpacking and Inspection To unpack and inspect the Rad-G: Remove the Rad-G from the shipping carton and examine it for signs of shipping damage. Check all materials on the packing list. Save all packing materials, invoice, and bill of lading.
Plug the charger (AC power supply) into a socket (AC power source). See AC Power Indicator. Plug the DC output connector to the bottom of the Rad-G. Verify the plug orientation is correct during connection (see the images below). Powering Rad-G ON and OFF To Power ON Rad-G: Press and release the power button on Rad-G.
• If the user continues to press and hold the power button, audible tones sound and the device shuts down after a few seconds. • If the user releases the power button, this cancels the force shut down and Rad-G returns to the Confirm Power Off screen.
Chapter 4: Operation The information in this chapter assumes that Rad-G is set up and ready for use. This chapter provides necessary information for proper operation of the device. Do not operate Rad-G without completely reading and understanding these instructions.

Messages on page 39. Sensitivity Modes Overview Three sensitivity levels enable a clinician to tailor the response of Rad-G to the needs of the particular patient situation. See Additional Settings on page 32. The sensitivity levels are as follows: • NORM (Normal Sensitivity) NORM is the recommended sensitivity mode for patients who are experiencing some compromise in blood flow or perfusion.
AC Power Indicator When Rad-G is powered ON, the AC Power Indicator icon will be displayed as follows: Note: To conserve battery use, Rad-G powers OFF automatically after 1 minute without activity. See Automatic Power OFF on page 23.
