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
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
(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.

Rad-97 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.
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 (SpO2)
The Rad-97 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: Dyshemoglobins are not capable of transporting oxygen, but are recognized as
oxygenated hemoglobins by conventional pulse oximetry.
www.masimo.com 24 Masimo
Rad-97 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

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%).
PVi may show changes that reflect physiological factors such as vascular tone, circulating
blood volume, and intrathoracic pressure excursions.
The utility of PVi has been evaluated in clinical studies [1-11]. Technical and clinical factors
that may affect PVi include probe malposition, probe site, patient motion, skin incision,
spontaneous breathing activity, lung compliance, open pericardium, use of vasopressors or
vasodilators, low perfusion index, subject age, arrhythmias, left or right heart failure, and tidal
volume [12-14].

value. The SpO
SIQ can also be used to identify the occurrence of a patient’s pulse.

The height of the vertical line of the SpO2 SIQ provides an assessment of the confidence in
the measurement displayed. A high vertical bar indicates higher confidence in the
measurement. A small vertical bar indicates lower confidence in the displayed measurement.
When the Signal IQ is very low, this suggests that the accuracy of the displayed measurement
may be compromised. See About the Status Bar on page 49.
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).
www.masimo.com 26 Masimo
Rad-97 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
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.
The Rad-97 uses a multi-wavelength sensor to distinguish between oxygenated blood,
deoxygenated blood, blood with carbon monoxide, oxidized blood and blood plasma.
The Rad-97 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
Rad-97 for calculation.

Rad-97 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
Once Rad-97 receives the signal from the sensor, it utilizes proprietary algorithms to
calculate the patient’s functional oxygen saturation (SpO
carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO [%]), methemoglobin saturation (SpMet [%]), total
[%]), blood levels of
2
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. Maximum skin-sensor interface temperature was tested to be less than 41º C (106º F)
in a minimum ambient temperature of 35º C (95º F). The tests were conducted with sensors
operating at reasonable worst case power.
Pulse CO-Oximetry vs. Drawn Whole Blood Measurements
When SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, and SpHb measurements obtained from the Rad-97 (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 SpO
SpMet, SpHb, and SpOC measurements of the Rad-97. 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 SpO
the calculated measurement is not appropriately corrected for the effects of variables that

2
In the case of SpCO, different results are also expected if the level of methemoglobin (MetHb)
in the blood gas sample is abnormal (greater than 2% for MetHb).
In the case of SpHb, variation in hemoglobin measurements may be profound and may be
affected by sampling technique as well as the patient's physiological conditions. Any results
exhibiting inconsistency with the patient's clinical status should be repeated and/or
supplemented with additional test data. As with most hemoglobin tests, a laboratory blood
sample should be analyzed prior to clinical decision making.

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.
www.masimo.com 28 Masimo
Rad-97 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
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 13 and Troubleshooting Measurements on
page 137.
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 (CaO
and is measured in units of ml O
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) x Hb (g/dL) x HbO2 + PaO2 (mmHg) x 0.003 (ml O2/dL/mmHg)
Where HbO
arterial oxygen.
For typical PaO
based on PaO
and methemoglobin levels, the functional saturation (SpO
is the fractional arterial oxygen saturation and PaO2 is the partial pressure of
2
values, the second part of the above equation is approximately 0.3 ml O2/dL

being approximately 100 mmHg. Furthermore, for typical carboxyhemoglobin

General Description for Carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO)
Pulse CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive method of measuring the levels of
carboxyhemoglobin saturation (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 device or through a device patient cable.
www.masimo.com 29 Masimo
Rad-97 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
The sensor collects signal data from the patient and sends it to the device. The device
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 saturation (SpMet) in arterial blood. It relies on the same basic principles of

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 13.
General Description for Respiration Rate (RRp)
RRp is currently not available in the U.S.A. and territories relying on FDA market
clearance.
Respiration rate can be determined by the plethysmographic waveform (RRp). This method
measures respirations per minute (rpm) based on plethysmographic amplitude changes that
correspond to the respiratory cycle.

General Description for Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi)
ORi is currently not available in the U.S.A. and territories relying on FDA market clearance.
Pulse CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive method of measuring changes in oxygen
states in hyperoxic conditions. It relies on the same principles of pulse oximetry to make its
ORi measurement.
The measurement is taken by a sensor capable of measuring ORi, usually on the fingertip for
adult or 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 device. The
device displays the processed data as an indicator of changes in oxygen states in hyperoxic
conditions.
Successful Monitoring for ORi
A stable ORi 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 13 and Troubleshooting Measurements on
page 137.
SpCO, SpMet, and SpHb Measurements During Patient Motion
The Rad-97 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 device does not have
confidence in the value due to poor signal quality caused by excessive motion or other signal
interference.
rainbow Acoustic Monitoring™ (RAM™)
Note: This feature is currently available on Rad-97 devices only.
rainbow Acoustic Monitoring (RAM) continuously measures a patient’s respiration rate based
on airflow sounds generated in the upper airway. The Acoustic Sensor, which is applied on the
patient's neck, 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
www.masimo.com 31 Masimo
Rad-97 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
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.

RRa Estimation
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.
www.masimo.com 32 Masimo
Rad-97 Chapter 1: Technology Overview
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.
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.

Sensitivity Modes Overview
Three sensitivity levels enable a clinician to tailor the response of Rad-97 to the needs of the
particular patient situation. Sensitivity Modes are accessed through the Action Menu. See
About the Action Menu on page 51.
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 for situations which 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 the 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
medical-surgical floors. It is designed to 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
In Vivo is currently not available in the U.S.A. and territories relying on FDA market
clearance.
The In Vivo Adjustment feature lets clinicians manually adjust the displayed value(s) of one
or more clinical parameters to match a corresponding laboratory reference during continuous
trending. To remind clinicians that the feature is active, an offset value displays alongside
the adjusted parameter value.
The In Vivo Adjustment feature for a parameter can be turned on by accessing the In Vivo
screen in the Settings menu for that parameter. After enabling the feature, set an offset
value. Once the feature is enabled, a positive or a negative offset value appears, as shown in
the below illustration.
The In Vivo offset amount is set to zero when any of the following conditions occur:
• Cable or sensor is disconnected from device.
• Sensor goes off patient causing a sensor initialization to occur.
• Eight hours has elapsed since the In Vivo offset was activated.
• Restore of factory defaults.
• User turns off In Vivo.
Offset Value
When In Vivo Adjustment is activated for a specific parameter, the offset value appears
beneath that specific parameter. A positive value means that the displayed parameter value
has been increased (according to a laboratory reference value, as entered by a clinician) and a
negative value means the displayed parameter value has been decreased (according to a
laboratory reference value, as entered by a clinician).
In the example below, the displayed SpO
the displayed SpHb value of 16.0 takes into account an offset of +0.4.
value of 96 takes into account an offset of -1.0, and
2
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:
• See In Vivo for SpO2 on page 64
• See In Vivo for SpHb on page 73
• See In Vivo for SpCO on page 76

providing an averaged saturation value that is a better representation of the patient’s current
oxygenation status. With FastSat set to On, the averaging time is dependent on the input
signal.

Wi-Fi
The Wi-Fi radio allows for networked communication of data and alarm signals between
Rad-97 and a secondary patient monitoring station, Masimo Patient SafetyNet, over an IEEE
802.11 a/b/g wireless network.
Rad-97 uses only configured MAC addresses to establish wireless communications to prevent
unauthorized connections to other wireless devices. As risk mitigation, in the event of the
loss of wireless communication, Rad-97 alarm capabilities are designed to be independent of
Wi-Fi communication in order to ensure alarms are received.
Use the Wi-Fi screen to enable or disable Wi-Fi connectivity. When Rad-97 is connected to a
Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon on the Status Bar indicates the strength of the connection. The
