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 (PR), and perfusion index (PI), along with optional measurements of hemoglobin (SpHb), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), total oxygen content (SpOC), 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. [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.]
Respiration rate can be determined by the acoustic (RRa) or plethysmographic waveform (RRp).

Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions The following section lists warnings, caution, notes, and safety information. The Radical-7 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. The Radical-7 is to be operated by qualified personnel only. The manual, accessories, directions for use, all precautionary information, and specifications should be read before use. Always use the Radical-7 precisely in accordance with the directions in this manual, including finger selection, finger alignment in the sensor, and subject behavior during testing. Failure to follow all of the directions in this manual could lead to inaccurate measurements. 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.
Parameter Related Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions This section contains parameter related safety information. Warning Interfering Substances: Dyes, or any substance containing dyes, that change usual blood pigmentation may cause erroneous readings. Warning SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, and SpHb are empirically calibrated in healthy adult volunteers with normal levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb). www.masimo.com

Radical-7
Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions Warning The Radical-7 cannot measure elevated levels of COHb or MetHb. Warning 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.
Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue
Externally applied coloring and texture such as nail polish, acrylic nails, glitter, etc.
Elevated levels of bilirubin
Severe anemia
Low arterial perfusion
Motion artifact

Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions Warning Inaccurate respiration rate measurements may be caused by:
Low arterial perfusion
Motion artifact
Low arterial oxygen saturation
Excessive ambient or environmental noise
Improper sensor placement
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. 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. Caution 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).
