Overview
Product Description
The Rad-87 Pulse CO-Oximeter Monitor is a noninvasive, arterial oxygen, carboxyhemoglobin,
methemoglobin saturation, total hemoglobin concentration, total arterial oxygen content, pulse
rate and respiration rate monitor. The Rad-87 features an LED display screen that continuously
displays numeric values for SpO
2
, SpCO*, SpMet*, SpHb*, total arterial oxygen content (SpOC*),
perfusion index (PI), pleth variability index* (PVI), pulse rate and respiratory/respiration rate
(RRa*). It also provides bar graph displays for quick visual identification of Signal I.Q.
®
(SIQ™),
perfusion index (PI), acoustic Signal Identification Quality (SIQa*) and Respiration Indicator (RI*).
The Rad-87 is available in four models: vertical Rad-87, horizontal Rad-87, vertical Rad-87 with
radio and horizontal Rad-87 with radio.
Features
These features are common to Rad-87 monitors:
■ Masimo SET is clinically proven to be the highest sensitivity and specificity pulse CO-Oximeter
technology in the world.
■ Rainbow technology continuously and noninvasively measures arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) and
pulse rate (BPM), as well as providing a reliable probe-off detection.
■ Perfusion Index (PI) with trending capability indicates arterial pulse signal strength during low
perfusion.
■ Accurate on cyanotic infants with congenital heart disease when used with an LNOP Blue Sensor.
■ Signal I.Q. provides signal identification and quality indication during excessive motion and low signal
to noise situations.
■ FastSat
®
tracks rapid changes in arterial O2 saturation with high fidelity.
■ Variable pitch provides tonal variance for every 1% change in saturation.
■ Remote alarming interface.
■ Up to 72 hours of trending. (See Section 4, Trend Setup and Use.)
■ Allows user to customize the default settings and set the instrument to retain these settings through
a power off/on cycle.
■ The LCD Display allows the user to view a scrolling marque of (installed) parameter/measurement
alarm limits, system information, and wireless radio communication (wireless radio model only).
Optional Features
■ Rainbow technology uses 7+ wavelengths of light to continuously and noninvasively measure
carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), methemoglobin (SpMet) and total hemoglobin (SpHb), as well as
providing a reliable probe-off detection.
■ Rainbow Acoustic Monitoring uses acoustic monitoring technology to measure and display
respiration rate (RRa) while providing the Respiration Indicator (RI) at the sensor site.
■ Pleth Variability Index (PVI)
†
may show changes that reflect physiologic factors such as vascular
tone, circulating blood volume, and intrathoracic pressure excursions.
■ Total arterial oxygen content (SpOC) provides a calculated measurement of the amount of oxygen
in arterial blood which may provide useful information for both oxygen dissolved in plasma and
combined with hemoglobin.
■ Provides an 802.11a/b/g wireless radio interface with compatible systems (wireless radio model only).
■ Ability to connect to Masimo Patient SafetyNet through a wireless network (wireless radio model only).
* Optional features: SpCO, SpMet, SpHb, SpOC, PVI, RRa, RI, SIQa
†
The utility of PVI is unknown at this time and requires further clinical studies. Technical factors that may affect PVI
include probe malposition and patient motion.
