SENSOR PLACEMENT

If the SpO

readings are questionable or unavailable, do the following:

■ Make sure the emitter and detector are aligned directly opposite each other.

■ Select a site where the distance between the emitter and detector is minimized.

■ Wipe the sensor site with a 70% isopropyl alcohol pad or rubefacient cream (10-30%

methyl salicylate and 2-10% menthol) for 20-30 seconds to increase perfusion. However,

strong vasodilator creams, such as nitroglycerin paste, are not recommended.

■ If possible, remove electrical noise sources such as electro-surgical devices or other

electrical/electronic equipment. If these solutions are not possible, operate the Rad-8 on

battery power, or try plugging the device into a different electrical outlet.

■ If artificial nails or excessive fingernail polish are present, select another site or remove

the polish/artificial nails.

■ If possible, ensure that the sensor is placed in a location with low ambient light. Although

the Rad-

8 with integrated Masimo SET technology has significant immunity to ambient

light, excessive ambient light may cause readings to be incorrect.

CAUTION: IF ANY MEASUREMENT SEEMS QUESTIONABLE, FIRST CHECK THE

PATIENT’S VITAL SIGNS BY ALTERNATE MEANS AND THEN CHECK THE

PULSE OXIMETER FOR PROPER FUNCTIONING.

SENSITIVITY

The Rad-8 Pulse Oximeter is equipped with

3 different sensitivity modes. Each mode allows

the clinician to change the sensitivity settings of the device to meet the increased demands

of the patient’s physiological condition or enable it to work during periods of low perfusion

and/or motion. They are as follows:

■ Normal Sensitivity

(NORM) – 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) – This is the recommended start-up

monitoring mode for most patients with acceptable perfusion or where a more robust

sensor off detection is desired. It is 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.

■ Maximum Sensitivity (MAX) - This mode is recommended for patients with low

perfusion or when the low perfusion or low signal quality 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.

lso, after a power off and on cycle, the sensitivity will change from the MAX to the

factory default or user configured default setting of APOD or NORM.

CAUTION: WHEN USING THE MAXIMUM SENSITIVITY SETTING, THE PERFORMANCE

OF THE SENSOR OFF DETECTION MAY BE COMPROMISED. IF THE

DEVICE IS IN THIS SETTING AND THE SENSOR BECOMES DISLODGED

FROM THE PATIENT, THE POTENTIAL FOR FALSE READINGS MAY

OCCUR DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL ‘NOISE’ SUCH AS LIGHT, VIBRATION

AND EXCESSIVE AIR MOVEMENT.
