INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Rad-87 Pulse CO-Oximeter and accessories are indicated for the continuous,
noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO
2
),
carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin concentration expressed in percentage
(SpCO and SpMet) and pulse rate (measured by an SpO
2
sensor). The Rad-87 Pulse
CO-Oximeter and accessories are indicated for use with adult, pediatric and neonatal
patients during both motion and no motion conditions, who are well or poorly perfused
patients in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile and home environments.

SpO2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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 ngertip 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 following fi gure shows the
general monitoring setup.

SpCO GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Pulse CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive method of measuring the levels of
carboxyhemoglobin (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 an instrument 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 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 an instrument patient cable. The sensor collects signal
data from the patient and sends it to the instrument. The instrument displays the calcu-
lated data as percentage value for the SpMet.
