SAFETY INFORMATION, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES
The Radical-7R Signal Extraction Pulse CO-Oximeter is designed to minimize
the possibility of hazards from errors in the software program by following sound
engineering design processes, Risk Analysis and Software Validation.
■ 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-7R 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.
■ Explosion hazard. Do not use the Pulse CO-Oximeter in the presence of
fl ammable anesthetics or other fl ammable substance in combination with air,
oxygen-enriched environments, or nitrous oxide.
■ High intensity, extreme lights (including pulsating strobe lights) directed on the sensor
may not allow the Pulse CO-Oximeter to obtain readings.
■ Excessive ambient noise may affect the accuracy of the respiration rate reading from the
Acoustic Respiration Sensor.
■ When monitoring Acoustic Respiration, Masimo recommends minimally monitoring
both oxygenation (SpO2) and respiration (RRa).
■ The Pulse CO-Oximeter is NOT intended for use as an apnea monitor.
■ Pulse rate measurement is based on the optical detection of a peripheral flow pulse
and therefore may not detect certain arrhythmias. The Pulse CO-Oximeter should
not be used as a replacement or substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis.
■ The Pulse CO-Oximeter should be considered an early warning instrument. As a
trend towards patient hypoxemia is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2
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 fi nger tip 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

SpCO GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Pulse CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive method of measuring the levels of carbon
monoxide 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 fi ngertip 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 SpCO, which refl ect
blood levels of carbon monoxide bound to hemoglobin.
SpMet GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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
1-4Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter Operator’s Manual
Overview
of pulse oximetry (spectrophotometry) to make its SpMet measurement. The measurement is
obtained by placing a sensor on a patient, usually on the fi ngertip 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.
SpHb GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Pulse CO-Oximetery is a continuous and non-invasive method of measuring the levels of total
hemoglobin (SpHb) in arterial blood. It relies on the same principles of pulse oximetry to make the
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.
TOTAL ARTERIAL OXYGEN CONTENT (CaO2) GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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

RAINBOW ACOUSTIC MONITORING GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Rainbow Acoustic Monitoring continuously measures a patient's respiration rate based on
airflow sounds generated in the upper airway. The Acoustic Respiration 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.
SpOC GENERAL DESCRIPTION (PULSE CO-OXIMETRY)
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.

SpHct GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Hematocrit is the fraction of whole blood volume that consists of red blood cells. In normal conditions, there is a linear relationship between hematocrit and the concentration
of hemoglobin. An estimated hematocrit as a percentage may be derived by multiplying

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.
The Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter uses a multi-wavelength sensor to distinguish between oxygenated
blood, deoxygenated blood, blood with carbon monoxide, oxidized blood and blood plasma. The Radical7R 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 fi ngertip, 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-7R for calculation

Once the Radical-7R receives the signal from the sensor, it utilizes Masimo Rainbow SET

Hemoglobin concentration (SpHb (g/dl)) and pulse rate (PR (BPM)). The SpCO, SpMet and
1-6Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter Operator’s Manual
Overview
SpHb measurements rely on a multiwavelength 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), verifi ed by Masimo sensor skin temperature test
procedure.
FUNCTIONAL SATURATION
The Radical-7R is calibrated to measure and display functional 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.
Radical-7R vs. DRAWN WHOLE BLOOD MEASUREMENTS
When SpO2, SpCO, SpMet and SpHb measurements obtained from the Radical-7R (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, SpOC, and SpHct measurements of the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter.
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, SpOC and SpHct 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.

SIGNAL EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY (SET)
Masimo Signal Extraction Technology's signal processing differs from that ofconventional
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 fi ltering. Adaptive
fi lters are powerful
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 identifi es the noise, isolates
it and, using adaptive fi lters, cancels it. It then reports the true arterial oxygen saturation for display
on the monitor.

Overview
SPCO, SPMET, AND SPHB
The Radical-7R 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. The measurements for SpCO, SpMet and SpHb display “---” and a
message, “LOW SpCO SIQ”, “LOW SpMet SIQ” or “LOW SpHb SIQ”, displays to aler t 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
Rainbow Acoustic Monitoring is a real time, continuous, non-invasive method for measuring
respiration rate based on respiratory sounds. 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.

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 and transmits respiratory sounds (and other biological sounds) much
like a microphone does. When subjected to a mechanical strain, (i.e., surface vibrations
generated during breathing), the sensor becomes electrically polarized. The degree of
polarization is proportional to the applied strain. This is known as the ‘Piezoelectric effect’ in
this manual. 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.

Overview
Acquisition System
The acquisition system converts the electrical signal provided by the sensor into a digital
signal. This format allows the signal to be processed by a computing device.
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 figure on the previous
page, 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 gases and subsequently determine a respiratory rate.

The Radical-7R provides the functionality of three instruments in one:
■ The Radical-7R is a fully featured Handheld Pulse CO-Oximeter.
■ The Radical-7R is a fully featured Standalone Pulse CO-Oximeter.
■ The Radical-7R interfaces to the SpO2 input module of multiparameter patient
monitors to upgrade conventional pulse oximetr y technology to Masimo SET
technology.
The Handheld portion of the Radical-7R contains the
majority of the Pulse CO-Oximeter features. All pulse cooximetry measurement information, as well as instrument
status data is displayed on the Handheld LCD screen.
All user input is performed through the control buttons
on the front panel. The sensor cable connector is located
