The Radical Pulse Oximeter is a noninvasive, arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate
monitor. The Radical can be used as either a Handheld or a Standalone monitor. The
Radical features a backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that continuously displays
numeric values for SpO
2
, pulse rate, plethysmographic waveform and Signal
Identification and Quality Indicator (Signal IQ
TM
). The Radical can be used to interface
with a multiparameter patient monitor to provide Masimo SET pulse oximetry
information to that monitor for display.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
■
Clinically proven as the highest sensitivity and specificity pulse oximeter in the world
■
Signal IQ
®
waveform for signal identification and quality indication during excessive
motion and low signal to noise situation
■
FastSat
®
tracks rapid changes in arterial O2 with high fidelity unlike any other pulse
oximeter
■
FastStart
TM
allows for rapid measurement from the time the instrument is first turned
on
■
APOD
TM
(Adaptive Probe Off Detection) offers the best probe off detection of
Masimo's three sensitivity modes - APOD, Normal and MAX sensitivity
■
ClearVue
TM
technology delivers the highest resolution display available
■
SmartTone
TM
beeps in sync with pulse, and with tonal changes for every 1% drop in
saturation, even under most patient motion conditions
■
SatShare
®
interface connection to existing multiparameter monitor
(models RDS-
1/1B only)

RS-232, analog output, and nurse call interfaces
(models RDS-1/1B and RDS-3 only)
■
User configurability maximizes operation for all applications
■
Facilitates economical sensor standardization throughout the hospital
■
SpO2, pulse rate, alarm, trending, perfusion index, Signal IQ and plethysmographic
waveform display
■
Automatic screen rotation provides upright display for vertical or horizontal monitor
positioning
(not available on the RDS-2 model)

Designed for hospital, transport and home use
■
Up to thirty days of trending
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Radical and accessories are indicated for the continuous, noninvasive monitoring of
functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO
2
) and pulse rate (measured by
an SpO
2
sensor). The Radical and accessories are indicated for use with adult, pediatric
and neonatal patients during both motion and no motion conditions, and for patients who
are well or poorly perfused in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile and home
environments. In addition, the is indicated to provide continuous noninvasive monitoring
data to validated multiparameter patient monitors* for display on those monitors.
*Contact Masimo for the latest list of SatShare validated multiparameter monitors.
