Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter Operator’s Manual

7.
While in the SatShare mode, if there are any significant discrepancies between
the readings from the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter and those on the monitor
displaying the values obtained from SatShare, the values reported by the Radical-
7R Pulse CO-Oximeter are to be considered the correct values.
8. To use the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter with SatShare while it is not connected
to AC power, set the Power Save parameter in the General menu to “No” and refer
to Section 4
Operation
. Please note that if the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter
is used in this mode, the length of time the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter can
operate on battery power will be significantly diminished.
9.
Set the SatShare Numbers and the Interface Alarms SpO
2
/pulse rate parameters
in the General menu according to customer preference.
When Rainbow parameters (SpCO, SpMet, SpHb, etc.) are configured, Interface
Alarms "SpO
2
/BPM" can be set to “Yes” or “No”. The “Yes” setting allows SpO
2
and pulse rate audible alarms at both the Radical-7R and the interfaced system.
The “No” setting mutes the SpO
2
and pulse rate audible alarms at the Radical-7R
while allowing SpO
2
and pulse rate audible alarm alerts at the interfaced system.
The “No” setting prevents both systems (Radical-7R and interfaced system) from
producing audible alarms at the same time. See section 4: General.
NOTE: The Radical-7R reverts to Interface Alarm "SpO
2
/BPM" “Yes” during power
interruptions or when the SatShare connection is lost or the device becomes
separated from the docking station. This ensures that the Radical-7R provides
audible alarms for SpO
2
and pulse rate when the connection to the interfaced
system becomes compromised.
10. If displaying the simulated waveform is not desirable, it is recommended to turn off
the plethysmographic waveform display of the multiparameter patient monitor.
SATSHARE SIGNALS ARE IDEAL SIMULATED WAVEFORMS CORRESPONDING TO THE
CALCULATED SATURATION AND PULSE RATE VALUES AND DO NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN PHYSIOLOGICAL WAVEFORMS. THE MULTIPARAMETER PATIENT
MONITOR TRANSLATES THESE SIGNALS INTO SATURATION AND PULSE RATE VALUES.
DURING SATSHARE OPERATION, THE AUDIBLE ALARMS MAY BE MUTED ON THE RADICAL-7R
PULSE CO-OXIMETER. WHEN THE AUDIBLE ALARM IS MUTED (INDICATED BY THE BELL WITH A
SLASH THROUGH IT) ON THE RADICAL-7R PULSE CO-OXIMETER, USE THE MULTI-PARAMETER
MONITOR FOR AUDIBLE ALARM INDICATION.
DURING SATSHARE OPERATION DO NOT USE THE PLETHYSMOGRAPHIC WAVEFORM
DISPLAY ON THE MULTIPARAMETER MONITOR FOR DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSES. INSTEAD,
USE THE PLETHYSMOGRAPHIC WAVEFORM DISPLAYED ON THE RADICAL-7R PULSE
CO-OXIMETER SCREEN
TO AVOID EXCESSIVE BATTERY DISCHARGING, DO NOT CONNECT ANY EQUIPMENT TO THE
SATSHARE CONNECTOR UNLESS THE RADICAL-7R PULSE CO-OXIMETER IS CONNECTED TO
THE AC MAINS POWER SUPPLY.
ONLY USE A SATSHARE CABLE THAT HAS A FERRITE BEAD INSTALLED.
ONLY SpO
2
AND PULSE RATE CAN BE DISPLAYED ON THE MULTIPARAMETER MONITOR
WITH SATSHARE.
