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, and perfusion index (PI), along with optional measurements of hemoglobin
(SpHb), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), 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.
Respiration rate can be determined by the acoustic (RRa) or plethysmographic

Caution
For SpHb, the Radical-7 should be considered an early warning device. Blood
samples should be analyzed by laboratory instruments prior to clinical
decision making to completely understand the patient’s condition.
Caution
Variation in hemoglobin measurements may be profound and may be
affected by sample type, body positioning, as well as other physiological
conditions. As with most hemoglobin tests, Radical-7 test results should be
scrutinized in light of a specific patient’s condition. Any results exhibiting
inconsistency with the patient’s clinical status should be repeated and/or
supplemented with additional test data.
Caution
If patient hypoxemia is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by
laboratory devices to completely understand the patient’s condition.
Caution
Confirm offset values(s) periodically as the difference between the displayed
parameter value and the laboratory reference value may vary over time.

Radical-7 Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions
Caution
Do not use In Vivo Adjustment if the monitor displays a Low SpHb SIQ
message.
Caution
If the Low Perfusion message is frequently displayed, find a better perfused
monitoring site. In the interim, assess the patient and, if indicated, verify
oxygenation status through other means.
Caution
Changing the SpHb Cal, the date and time of the system clock, or the trend
period clears the data in the trend memory.
Note: Interfering Substances: Dyes, or any substance containing dyes, that change usual
blood pigmentation may cause erroneous readings.
Note: Inaccurate SpCO and SpMet readings can be caused by:
Levels of methemoglobin approximately 1.5% or above
Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue
Abnormal hemoglobin levels
Low arterial perfusion
Low arterial oxygen saturation levels including altitude induced hypoxemia
Elevated total bilirubin levels
Motion artifact
SpCO readings may not be provided if SpO2 readings are less than 90%
SpCO readings may not be provided if SpMet readings are greater than 2%
Note: SpO2,SpCO, SpMet, and SpHb are empirically calibrated in healthy adult volunteers
with normal levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb).
Note: The Radical-7 cannot measure elevated levels of COHb or MetHb.
www.masimo.com 12 Masimo
Radical-7 Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions
Note: Inaccurate SpO2 readings may be caused by:
Elevated levels of COHb and MetHb
For increased COHb: COHb levels above normal tend to increase the level of
SpO2. The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of COHb
that is present.
Note: High levels of COHb may occur with a seemingly normal SpO2. When
elevated levels of COHb are suspected, laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of
a blood sample should be performed.
For increased MetHb: the SpO2 may be decreased by levels of MetHb of up to
approximately 10% to 15%. At higher levels of MetHb, the SpO2 may tend to read
in the low to mid 80s. When elevated levels of MetHb are suspected, laboratory
analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed.
Note: Inaccurate SpO2 readings may be caused by:
Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue
Externally applied coloring and texture such as nail polish, acrylic nails, glitter,
etc.

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 CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive method of measuring the level of
arterial oxygen saturation in blood. The measurement is taken by placing a sensor on a
patient, usually on the fingertip for adults and the hand or foot for neonates.
The sensor is connected to the Pulse CO-Oximetry instrument with a patient cable. The
sensor collects signal data from the patient and sends it to the instrument. The instrument
displays the calculated data in three ways:
1. As a percent value for arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2)
2. As a pulse rate (PR)
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.
www.masimo.com 24 Masimo
Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
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.
General Description for Pulse Rate (BPM)
Pulse rate, 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.

Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
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 your pulse
(photoplethysmography). Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the varying
quantities of arterial blood changes as well.
www.masimo.com 26 Masimo
Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
1. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
(7 + wavelengths)
2. Detector
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.
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 (BPM). 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 (PO2) and saturation, such as:
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
www.masimo.com 27 Masimo
Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
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 107.
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
*Martin, Laurence. All You Really Need to Know to Interpret Arterial Blood Gases, Second
Edition. New York: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1999.
www.masimo.com 28 Masimo
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.
www.masimo.com 29 Masimo
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.
www.masimo.com 30 Masimo
Radical-7 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
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 31 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.

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 15.
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 127.
9. On the Radical-7, turn on the Satshare Numbers option. See Device Output on
page 79.
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 118.

Radical-7 Chapter 4: Operation
Overview of Sensitivity Modes
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 tapping on the indicator in the upper
left corner of the Display View.
The sensitivity levels are as follows:
Normal Sensitivity
This is the recommended mode for patients that 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).
Adaptive Probe Off Detection (APOD) Sensitivity
This is the recommended monitoring 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.
Maximum Sensitivity (MAX)
This mode is recommended for patients with low perfusion or when the low
perfusion message is displayed on the screen in APOD or normal sensitivity
mode. This 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.
Toggle between the sensitivity modes by pressing the indication on the top left of the
Display View. The sensitivity mode also can be changed in the Profile menu which is
accessible from the Main Menu.
Note that the device will revert to APOD mode after a power cycle.
See Changing Profiles Settings on page 90.

Overview of In Vivo Adjustment
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 Yes, the feature is active (turned on) and a positive or
a negative offset value appears, as shown in the following illustration.
In Vivo offset is set to zero for any of the following:
Cable or sensor disconnect from instrument.
Sensor goes off patient causing a sensor initialization to occur.
8 hours has elapsed since the In Vivo value was activated.
The user turns off In Vivo.
Offset value
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 Yes or No. the factory default setting is No. If
set to Yes, 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:

Overview of RRp
Respiration rate can be determined by the plethysmographic waveform (RRp) using a SpO2
sensor. Respiration rate monitoring, derived from the plethysmographic waveform,
measures a patient's respiratory rate based on amplitude changes that correspond to the
respiratory cycle.
The device can display respiration rate derived from the plethysmographic waveform under
the following conditions:

Any changes to Alarm settings are retained after a power cycle.
Adult
Any changes to Alarm settings are reset to pre-defined settings. The Adult profile
is the default profile after a power cycle.
Neonatal
Any changes to Alarm settings are reset to pre-defined Neonatal defaults after a
power cycle.
After Custom values are changed by the user, the Radical-7 retains these values after a
power cycle. The Adult profile and the Neonatal profile can be changed to meet specific
hospital or instrument requirements. If the Alarm settings are changed by the user, then
these settings return to the instrument default values after it is powered down. A user can
also load configurations to the device, which can be enabled by using the Profile button.

About Alarms
The Radical-7 visually and audibly indicates alarm conditions that the system detects.
Audible alarms may be silenced, without affecting the operation of visual alarms. See Safety
Information, Warnings, and Cautions on page 11 and Alarm Related Safety Information,
Warnings, and Cautions on page 20.
There are three priorities for alarms:
High
Medium

Radical-7 Chapter 6: Alarms and Messages
Adaptive Threshold Alarm (ATA) Feature
The Adaptive Threshold Alarm (ATA) feature is an optional feature that provides continuous
SpO2 surveillance while allowing the clinician a useful tool to help reduce the frequency of
audible alarms.
ATA establishes the alarm limit threshold based upon the patient-specific baseline value of
the SpO2 parameter which is determined from the recent history of SpO2 values. An
Adaptive Threshold Limit is continuously determined for the patient and SpO2 values
outside the Adaptive Threshold Limit trigger an audible alarm. The Adaptive Threshold
Limit is bound by the standard SpO2 low alarm limit and the Rapid Desat low alarm limit.
SpO2 values that exceed the Rapid Desat limit, whether it occurs rapidly or not, will activate
an audible alarm.
Prior to activating ATA, please review and select the appropriate standard low alarm limit
and other alarm settings. Once ATA is selected, the Rapid Desat Alarm protection is always
active. If the ATA low alarm limit is violated, ATA generates an audible alarm.
It is important to note that once activated, ATA has the following automatic safety features:
Reminder Tones
If an SpO2 value from a patient drops below the standard low alarm limit set by the user, a
visual alert will display and a reminder tone will repeat every 15 minutes as long as the
condition persists. If the SpO2 value drops below the ATA low alarm limit, an audible alarm
will be activated.
Rapid Desat Alarm Protection
The Rapid Desat feature is always active when ATA is turned on. This means that deep
desaturations (5% or 10%) from the standard SpO2 low alarm limit immediately generate an
audible alarm. When used with ATA, it also serves as absolute low alarm limit protection.
SpO2 values exceeding the Rapid Desat low alarm limit, whether rapid or not, will activate
an audible alarm. You can change the Rapid Desat default setting from 5% to 10%. ATA does
not allow a Rapid Desat default setting of 0%.
When ATA is turned Off, the instrument uses the standard alarm limits and standard alarm
delays.

3D Alarms
3D Alarms include the Desat Index Alarm and the PI Delta Alarm.
Overview of Desat Index Alarm on page 98.
Overview of Perfusion Index (PI) Delta Alarm on page 99.
Overview of Desat Index Alarm
The Desat Index Alarm is a user-selectable feature which allows a clinician to request an
audible and visual alarm if a patient experiences a specified number of desaturations over a
specific period of time.
Traditional high and low SpO2 alarm limits alert clinicians to saturation levels that exceed
user selected thresholds, and these thresholds are typically established at a considerable
change from the patients’ baseline saturation level. However, in select patient populations,
substantial desaturation events that exceed a typical low alarm limit threshold may be
preceded by a cycle of transient desaturations over a limited timeframe, and the ability to
alert clinicians to a cycle of these smaller desaturations may provide an earlier indication of
a potential significant decline in the patient’s status and the need for more focused
monitoring and/or a change in treatment.
To address patient populations at risk for cyclic, moderate desaturations, the option
includes a user-selectable Desat Index Alarm which allows the clinician to request an
audible and visual alarm in the event the patient experiences a specified number of
desaturations beyond a defined level from the patient’s baseline saturation over a specific
window of time, with each of these variables selectable by the user within established
ranges as noted in Desat Index Settings on page 98.
