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
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%).
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].

Signal IQ
The Signal IQ provides an indicator of the assessment of the confidence in the displayed SpO2
value. The SpO
SIQ can also be used to identify the occurrence of a patient’s pulse.

With motion, the plethysmographic waveform is often distorted and may be obscured by
noise artifact. Shown as a vertical line, the SpO

pulse tone (when enabled) coincides with the vertical line of the SpO
SIQ.

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).

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

pH,temperature, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO
), 2,3-DPG, and fetal hemoglobin.
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.
