CAUTION: If the Low Perfusion message is frequently displayed, find a better perfused
monitoring site. In the interim, assess the patient and, if indicated, verify oxygenation status
through other means.
CAUTION: To minimize radio interference, other electrical equipment that emits radio
frequency transmissions should not be in close proximity to Rad-97.
CAUTION: Do not place the Rad-97 near electrical equipment that may affect the device,
preventing it from working properly.
CAUTION: Failure to charge Rad-97 promptly after a Low Battery alarm may result in the
device shutting down.
CAUTION: Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or dimmer.
CAUTION: In order to establish and maintain Rad-97’s minimum Quality of Service, the
following network specifications should be met before and after installation:
• Wired Network Connection
During Ping Test, passing result if:
a. At least 98% of packets have latency ≤ 30 milliseconds, and
b. No more than 2 % packets loss.
• Wireless Network Connection
During Ping Test, passing result if:
a. At least 98% of packets have latency ≤ 100 milliseconds,
b. No more than 2 % packets loss, and
c. Primary access point signal strength at least -67 dBm.
CAUTION: The wireless quality of services may be influenced by the presence of other devices
that may create radio frequency interference (RFI). Some RFI devices to consider are as
follows: electrocautery equipment, cellular telephones, wireless PC and tablets, pagers, RFID,
MRI, electrically powered wheelchair, etc. When used in the presence of potential RFI devices,
consideration should be taken to maximize separation distances and to observe for any
potential signs of interference such as loss of communication or reduced Wi-Fi signal
strength.
CAUTION: To ensure that alarm limits are appropriate for the patient being monitored, check
the limits each time Rad-97 is used.
CAUTION: Replace the cable or sensor when a replace sensor or when a low SIQ message is
consistently displayed while monitoring consecutive patients after completing the low SIQ
troubleshooting steps listed in the troubleshooting section.
Note: Cables and sensors are provided with X-Cal technology to minimize the risk of
inaccurate readings and unanticipated loss of patient monitoring. Refer to the Cable or
Sensor DFU for the specified duration of patient monitoring time.
Note: SpHb readings may be inaccurate for patients with conditions that may cause edema
at the measurement site (eg. kidney disease, pregnancy, etc.).
Note: Physiological conditions that result in loss of pulsatile signal may result in no SpO
2
,
SpHb, SpOC, SpCO, SpMet, RRp, and ORi readings.
Note: Rad-97 is provided with a Wi-Fi signal indicator as an indication of Wi-Fi
communication.
Note: Rad-97’s alarm capabilities have been designed to be independent of the Wi-Fi
communication feature in order to preserve Rad-97's primary alarms.
