Rad-87 Setup
Introduction
Before the Rad-87 Pulse CO-Oximeter can be used in a clinical setting, it needs to be inspected,
properly setup and the batteries need to be fully charged.
Unpacking and Inspection
Remove the instrument from the shipping carton and examine it for signs of shipping damage.
Check all materials against the packing list. Save all packing materials, invoice and bill of lading.
These may be required to process a claim with the carrier.
If anything is missing or damaged, contact the Technical Service Department. The contact
address and phone numbers are listed in Section 9, Service and Repair.
Preparation for Monitoring
The following sections of the manual describe the preparation, set-up and initial installation of
the Rad-87 Pulse CO-Oximeter.
Rad-87 Power Requirements
Always use a hospital grade, AC power cable to connect the Rad-87 to an AC power source.
Verify the AC power voltage and frequency before use. Verify the power source can provide
adequate power rating as indicated on the rear panel of the Rad-87. The Rad-87 is designed to
operate on 100 to 240VAC, 47-63 Hz. The instrument is rated at 20 VA max.
Connect a hospital grade power cable to the power entry module of the Rad-87 device(IEC-320
connector type at the device). Connect the power cable to an AC power source. Ensure the
instrument is adequately powered by verifying that the AC power indicator on the Rad-87 is
illuminated.
CAUTION:
• Connect the Rad-87 only to a hospital-grade receptacle (for hospital use).
• 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 instrument from the main power
supply.
• If there is any doubt about the integrity of the protective earth conductor
arrangement, operate the Rad-87 on internal battery power until the AC power
supply protective conductor is fully functional.
• To ensure patient electrical isolation, connect only to other equipment with
electrically isolated circuits.
• Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or dimmer.
