Product Description, Indications for Use, Contraindications, and Features

The following chapter contains the Radical-7 product description, key features and benefits, indications for use, contraindications, and safety information, including cautions, warnings, and notes.

Product Description

The Radical-7 is a noninvasive monitor that measures arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and perfusion index (PI), along with optional measurements of hemoglobin (SpHb), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), total oxygen content (SpOC), methemoglobin (SpMet), Pleth Variability Index (PVI), Acoustic Respiration Rate (RRa), and Pleth Respiration Rate (RRp).
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.
The Radical-7 provides graphical displays for plethysmographic waveform, respiratory waveform, Signal Identification and Quality Indicator (Signal IQ).
The Radical-7 can also be used to interface with a multi-parameter patient monitor to send Masimo SET pulse oximetry information to that monitor for display.
The Radical-7 has an embedded 802.11 wireless radio that can be used for connectivity.

Key Features

The following features are available for the Radical-7. Some features are optional:
• Masimo SET is clinically proven to satisfy all sensitivity and specificity
requirements for pulse oximeter technology.
• Rainbow technology uses 7+ wavelengths of light to continuously and
noninvasively measure carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), methemoglobin (SpMet), and total hemoglobin (SpHb), as well as providing a more reliable probe-off detection.
• Total oxygen content (SpOC) provides a calculated measurement of the amount of
oxygen in arterial blood, which may provide useful information about oxygen both dissolved in plasma and combined with hemoglobin.
• Perfusion Index (PI) with trending capability indicates arterial pulse signal
strength and may be used as a diagnostic tool during low perfusion.
• Pleth Variability Index (PVI) may show changes that reflect physiologic factors
such as vascular tone, circulating blood volume, and intrathoracic pressure excursions. [The utility of PVI is unknown at this time and requires further clinical studies. Technical factors that may affect PVI include probe malposition and patient motion.]
• Respiration rate can be determined by the acoustic (RRa) or plethysmographic

Chapter 1: Technology Overview

The following chapter contains general descriptions about parameters, measurements, and the technology used by Masimo products.

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 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®), in parallel with Fast Saturation Transform (FST®), 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.

General Description for Oxygen Saturation (SpO2)

Pulse oximetry is governed by the following principles:
1. Oxyhemoglobin (oxygenated blood) and deoxyhemoglobin (non-oxygenated
blood) differ in their absorption of red and infrared light (spectrophotometry).
2. 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.
3. As a plethysmographic waveform
Successful Monitoring for SpO2, PR, and PI
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 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.
Note that carboxyhemoglobin is not capable of transporting oxygen, but is recognized as oxygenated hemoglobin by conventional pulse oximetry.

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 continuously and noninvasively obtained from a pulse oximeter.

General Description for 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%).
The utility of PVI is unknown at this time and requires further clinical studies. Technical factors that may affect PVI include probe malposition and patient motion.

rainbow Pulse CO-Oximetry Technology

rainbow Pulse CO-Oximetry technology is governed by the following principles:
1. Oxyhemoglobin (oxygenated blood), deoxyhemoglobin (non-oxygenated blood),
carboxyhemoglobin (blood with carbon monoxide content), methemoglobin (blood with oxidized hemoglobin) and blood plasma constituents differ in their absorption of visible and infrared light (using spectrophotometry).
2. The amount of arterial blood in tissue changes with pulse
(photoplethysmography). Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the varying quantities of arterial blood changes as well.

Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
The Radical-7 uses a multi-wavelength sensor to distinguish between oxygenated blood, deoxygenated blood, blood with carbon monoxide, oxidized blood and blood plasma.
The Radical-7 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 fingertip, 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-7 for calculation.

(7 + wavelengths)
2. 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). The SpCO, SpMet and SpHb measurements rely on a multi-wavelength 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), verified by Masimo sensor skin temperature test procedure.

Pulse CO-Oximetry vs. Drawn Whole Blood Measurements

When SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, and SpHb measurements obtained from the Radical-7 (noninvasive) 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, 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.
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 (PO 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, and SpOC 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.
Measurements with Low Signal IQ should not be compared to laboratory measurements.

General Description for Total Hemoglobin (SpHb)

Pulse CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive method of measuring the levels of total hemoglobin (SpHb) in arterial blood. It relies on the same principles of pulse oximetry to make its 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.
Successful Monitoring for 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. See Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions on page 11 and Troubleshooting Measurements on page 111.

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. 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

General Description for SpOC
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. See Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions on page 11.

General Description for Carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO)

Pulse CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive method of measuring the levels of carboxyhemoglobin 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 fingertip for adults and the hand or foot for infants. The sensor connects either directly to the Pulse CO-Oximetry instrument or through an instrument 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 reflect blood levels of carbon monoxide bound to hemoglobin.
Successful Monitoring for 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.

General Description for Methemoglobin (SpMet)

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 of pulse oximetry (spectrophotometry) to make its SpMet measurement.
The measurement is obtained by placing a sensor on a patient, usually on the fingertip 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.
