DESCRIPTION
RAPID DESAT
LIMIT
The Rapid Desat Limit will ignore the Alarm Delay setting if desaturation
falls below the Low SpO
2
alarm threshold per a user-defined
percentage. Audible tones are generated immediately, along with all
visual indicators. The Rapid Desat Limit can be set to the following:
OFF:
The Alarm Delay setting will delay audible alarm tones regardless
of how deep the desaturation is below the alarm threshold.
-5:
The Alarm Delay setting is ignored if the desaturation is 5% (meaning
5 saturation units) below the Low SpO
2
alarm threshold.
-10:
The Alarm Delay setting is ignored if the desaturation is 10%
(meaning 10 saturation units) below the Low SpO
2
alarm threshold.

DESCRIPTION
AVERAGING TIME
The signal averaging time of this device can be set to: 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 14
and 16 seconds*.
*With FastSat the averaging time is dependent on the input signal. For
the 2 and 4 second settings the averaging times may range from 2-4 and
4-6 seconds, respectively.
FASTSAT
Select “Yes” to activate the FastSat algorithm. In the 2 and 4 seconds
averaging mode, the FastSat algorithm is automatically enabled.
HOME USE
Set the Radical to the Home Mode. The Radical will remain in the Home
Mode until the “No” setting is selected. A password is required to activate
or deactive this mode. See Section 4,
Home Mode Operation, for a
detailed description.
INTERFACE
ALARMS
During SatShare, HP Vuelink, Spacelabs Flexport and RadNet operation,
the audible alarms can be enabled or disabled.
SATSHARE
NUMBERS
During SatShare operation the saturation and pulse rate measurements
can be displayed on the Radical by selecting a SatShare Numbers
setting of “Yes”.
POWER SAVE
Select “Yes” to maximize battery-operating time of the Radical while
powered by the Handheld battery or optional Docking Station battery.
Selecting “Yes” will disable Docking Station functions such as SatShare,
Serial and Analog output. Selecting “No” will activate these Docking
Station functions while operating on battery power. (While operating in
the Power Save mode, a power cycle of the Radical may be required to
activate the Docking Station again after it has been disabled.)

DESCRIPTION
VIEW
Three views are available: Pleth and Signal IQ, Numbers and Pleth Only.
PLETH + SIGNAL IQ
Shows the SpO
2
and pulse rate numbers on the left or top of the screen,
and the plethysmograph and Signal IQ waveform on the right or bottom
of the screen. The Screen also indicates the signal strength of the
measured signal as a perfusion index (PI). The PI is calculated as the
relation of arterial pulsatile signal to the non-pulsatile signal component.
PLETH ONLY
Shows the SpO
2
and pulse rate numbers on the left or top of the
screen,and the plethysmograph waveform on the right or bottom of the
screen. The Screen also indicates the signal strength of the measured
signal as a perfusion index (PI). The PI is calculated as the relation of
arterial pulsatile signal to the non-pulsatile signal component.
NUMBERS
Shows the SpO
2
and pulse rate numbers and the signal IQ in the form
of a pulse bar on the screen. The Screen also indicates the signal
strength of the measured signal as a perfusion index (PI). The PI is
calculated as the relation of arterial pulsatile signal to the non-pulsatile
signal component.
TREND
Allows the user to select and view the Trend Display between SpO
2
and
pulse rate (%SpO
2
- BPM), perfusion index and pulse rate (PI - BPM) or
SpO
2
and perfusion index (%SpO
2
- PI).
CONTRAST
Allows the user to set the contrast of the LCD display. Contrast ranges
from 0 to 63.
NOTE:
The contrast can also be set by pressing and holding the
Backlight/ Contrast Button on the front panel.
LANGUAGE
Allows the user to select the language displayed on the screen.
DEFAULT
Allows the user to select user mode or reset the settings to factory
defaults.
NOTE:
A password is required to access these menu options.
SAVE LAST
This allows the user to either use Custom setting or Adult/Neonatal
settings. Select “Yes” to use custom settings.
SAVE AS ADULT
Store current settings as Adult default setting.
SAVE AS NEO
Store current settings as Neonatal default setting.
RESTORE FACTORY
Recall factory setting for Custom, Adult and Neonatal.
LOW % SpO
2
LIMIT
Allows the user to set a custom default minimum low SpO2 limit.The unit
will return to this setting after a power cycle.
