The following sections of the manual describe the preparation, set-up and initial
installation of the Radical Pulse Oximeter.
RADICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS
Always use a hospital grade, AC power cable to connect the Radical Pulse Oximeter to
an AC power source. Do not connect the Radical Pulse Oximeter Docking Station to an
AC outlet controlled by a switch.
Verify the AC power voltage and frequency before use. Verify that the power source can
provide adequate power rating as indicated on the rear panel of the Radical Docking
Station.
The Radical Pulse Oximeter is designed to operate on 100 to 240VAC, 47-63 Hz. The
device is rated at 55 VA max.
Connect a hospital grade power cable to the power entry module of the Radical unit
(IEC-320 connector type at the Radical). Connect the power cable to an AC power
source. Ensure that the unit is adequately powered by verifying that the AC power
indicator on the Docking Station is illuminated.
CAUTION:
■
CONNECT THE OXIMETER ONLY TO A HOSPITAL-GRADE RECEPTACLE.
■
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUNDING
CONDUCTOR FROM THE POWER PLUG.
■
DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS OR ADAPTERS OF ANY TYPE. THE POWER
CORD AND PLUG MUST BE INTACT AND UNDAMAGED.
■
USE THE POWER CORD AS THE MEANS TO DISCONNECT THE DEVICE FROM
THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY.

In addition to being a full-featured Handheld and Standalone Pulse Oximeter, Radical’s
unique SatShare interface links the Radical to most existing multiparameter patient
monitors through the pulse oximetry patient cable or SpO
2
input connector.
■
Upgrades any approved and validated monitor to Masimo SET performance by using
the calculated SpO
2
and pulse rate determined by Radical to simulate an ideal
waveform, which is sent to the validated multiparameter patient monitor.
■
Connects into the SpO
2
patient cable or SpO
2
input connector of the multiparameter
patient monitor.
Refer to Section 3,
SatShare Setup and Section 4, SatShare Operation for additional
details.
CAUTION
:
THE WAVEFORM DISPLAYED ON THE MULTIPARAMETER PATIENT
MONITOR IS A SIMULATED SIGNAL. REFER TO THE RADICAL DISPLAY FOR THE
PATIENT WAVEFORM.
CAUTION
: ONLY USE A SATSHARE CABLE THAT HAS A FERRITE BEAD INSTALLED.
