Study Notes
Indications for Use
- Rad-57 and accessories are designed for continuous, noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate, and levels of carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin.
- Applicable for adults, pediatric, and neonatal patients, functioning effectively during both motion and still conditions, as well as for patients with varying perfusion states.
- Suitable for use in hospitals, mobile environments, and home settings.
General Description of Pulse Oximetry
- Pulse oximetry measures arterial oxygen saturation non-invasively through a fingertip sensor in adults, and on the hand or foot for neonates.
- The sensor connects to an instrument via a patient cable, which processes and displays data.
- Key output includes:
- SpO2 displayed as a percentage.
- Pulse rate as beats per minute.
Rad-57 Front Panel Controls
- Features buttons to toggle between functional parameters; users can switch from SpO2 to SpCO readings using the display button.
- Prioritizes clear monitoring of carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin levels through intuitive display controls.
Signal and Alarm Systems
- Low PI (Perfusion Index) and SIQ (Signal IQ) indicators provide visual cues for weak perfusion and signal quality.
- Alarm silencing options allow temporary muting for 120 seconds, ensuring caregivers can manage alarms effectively during monitoring.
Regulatory and Safety Information
- Device classified for Rx only, to be sold by or under physician's order in the USA.
- Conforms to European Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
