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.

Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
Masimo SET DST
This figure is for conceptual purposes only.
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.
www.masimo.com 24 Masimo
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. 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:
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.
www.masimo.com 25 Masimo
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.
1. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
(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

Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
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.

Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
Successful Monitoring for 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 caused by fluctuations in the
oxygen saturation, blood concentration and perfusion. See Safety Information, Warnings, and 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. In this case, the measurement
value for SpCO, SpMet, or SpHb displays as dashes (---) 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 (RAM) Technology
rainbow Acoustic Monitoring (RAM) continuously measures a patient’s respiration rate based
on airflow sounds generated in the upper airway. The Acoustic 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.
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 contribute
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 respiratory sounds (and other biological sounds) much like a microphone
does. When subjected to a mechanical strain, (e.g., surface vibrations generated during
breathing), the sensor becomes electrically polarized.
The degree of polarization is proportional to the applied strain. 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.
Acquisition System
The acquisition system converts the electric signal provided by the sensor into a digital
signal. This format allows the signal to be processed by a computing device.
www.masimo.com 30 Masimo
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. 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 gasses and subsequently determine a respiratory rate.

Radical-7 Chapter 3: Setup
Setting Up and Using SatShare
Parameter values from the Radical-7 can be displayed on a multi-parameter monitor through
the SatShare feature. The SatShare feature provides an ideal, simulated plethysmographic
waveform that corresponds to the parameter values determined the by Radical-7. This
waveform may be used to display these values on multi-parameter monitors through the
multi-parameter oximetry sensor or input connector.
It is recommended that the Radical-7 be positioned near the multi-parameter monitor, with
the Radical-7 screen displaying the plethysmographic waveform and the parameter values.
Refer to the instructions for use provided with the multi-parameter monitor. See Device Related Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions on page 14.
To set up for use with SatShare interface
1. Select the SatShare cable that is appropriate for the multi-parameter monitor. For
the latest list of available SatShare cables and validated instruments, see
www.masimo.com.
2. Connect the labeled end of the SatShare cable to the SatShare Cable connector on
the Docking Station. See Standalone Back Panel on page 39. For a secure
connection, tighten the cable connector screws.
3. Connect the other end of the SatShare cable to one of the following:
• Sensor connector of the multi-parameter monitor cable
• Directly to the multi-parameter monitor
4. Verify that the Radical-7 recognizes the SatShare cable. If functional, the name of
the SatShare cable displays on the Radical-7 screen.
5. As appropriate, configure alarm limits on the multi-parameter monitor.
6. Set the averaging time for the multi-parameter monitor to its lowest setting (or
fastest response). The ideal waveform for the Radical-7 requires additional
averaging by the monitor. If the averaging time of the multi-parameter monitor is
not changed, the time to display physiological changes in saturation on the
monitor is increased with SatShare. However, the delay can be minimized by
reducing the averaging time on the multi-parameter monitor.
7. While in the SatShare mode, if there are any significant discrepancies between the
readings from Radical-7 and those on the monitor displaying the values obtained
from SatShare, the values reported by the Radical-7 are to be considered the
correct values.
8. It is possible to use the Radical-7 with SatShare while the Radical-7 is not
connected to AC power. However, in this configuration, battery run time is
reduced. See Battery Operation and Maintenance on page 131.
9. On the Radical-7, turn on the Satshare Numbers option. See Device Output on
page 80.
10. If displaying the simulated waveform is not desirable, it is recommended to turn
off the plethysmographic waveform display of the multi-parameter patient
monitor. See Serial Interface Specifications on page 122.

Sensitivity Modes Overview
Three sensitivity levels enable a clinician to tailor the response of the Radical-7 to the needs
of the particular patient situation. Access the menu by touching on the indicator in the upper
left corner of the Display View. 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. It is advisable for care areas where
patients are observed frequently, such as an intensive care unit (ICU).
•APOD (Adaptive Probe Off Detection Sensitivity)
APOD is the recommended sensitivity 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.
•MAX (Maximum Sensitivity)
MAX is recommended sensitivity mode for patients with low perfusion or when a
low perfusion message displays in APOD or NORM mode. MAX 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.

In Vivo Adjustment Overview
The In Vivo Adjustment feature lets clinicians manually adjust one or more clinical
parameters to match that of a corresponding laboratory reference for continuous trending. To
remind clinicians that the feature is active, an offset value displays alongside the adjusted
parameter value.
When the In Vivo Adjustment is set to On, the feature is active (turned on) and a positive or a
negative offset value appears, as shown in the following illustration.
The In Vivo offset is set to zero for any of the following:
• Cable or sensor is disconnect from instrument.
• Sensor goes off patient causing a sensor initialization to occur.
• Eight hours has elapsed since the In Vivo value was activated.
• Restore of factory defaults.
• The user turns off In Vivo.
Offset value
The offset value appears and indicates that In Vivo Adjustment is active. A positive value
means that the value is increased (according to a laboratory reference value as entered by a
clinician) and a negative value means the value is decreased (according to a laboratory
reference value as entered by a clinician).
In the example below, the SpO2 value is offset (highlighted) by -1.0 and SpHb is offset by
+0.4.
The In Vivo Adjustment feature can be set to On or Off. the factory default setting is Off. If set
to On, the parameter value is adjusted and an offset value appears. The offset value is set by
the user.
The feature applies to any of the following parameters:

FastSat Overview
FastSat enables rapid tracking of arterial oxygen saturation changes. Arterial oxygen
saturation data is averaged using pulse oximeter averaging algorithms to smooth the trend.
When the Radical-7 is set to FastSat On, the averaging algorithm evaluates all the saturation
values providing an averaged saturation value that is a better representation of the patient’s
current oxygenation status. With FastSat, the averaging time is dependent on the input
signal.

Respiration Rate (RR)
The Radical-7 can determine respiration rate (RR) either by the acoustic signal (RRa) or by
the plethysmographic waveform (RRp).
RRp Settings
When using a pulse oximetry or pulse CO-Oximetry sensor with the Radical-7, respiration rate
can be determined by the plethysmographic waveform (RRp). This method measures a
patient's respiratory rate based on plethysmographic amplitude changes that correspond to
the respiratory cycle. When using a pulse oximetry or pulse CO-Oximetry sensor, RRp alarms
and RRp settings are active and the Display View conveys respiratory rate as RRp, as shown
below.
Note that the Radical-7 can monitor RRa or RRp but not both simultaneously. RRp is active
under the following conditions:
• RRp is installed on the Radical-7.
• Dual Rainbow cable is disconnected.
• Pulse oximetry or pulse CO-Oximetry sensor is connected.
• Acoustic sensor is not connected.
When using an acoustic sensor, respiration rate (RR) is determined by the acoustic (RRa)
signal. See rainbow Acoustic Monitoring (RAM) Technology on page 29. When the
respiratory rate is determined by the acoustic signal, the Display View conveys respiratory
rate as RRa, as shown below.
