Radical-7 Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions
www.masimo.com 21 Masimo
Caution
During SatShare operation, the audible alarms may be muted on the Radical-7.
When the audible alarm is muted (indicated by a bell with a slash through it) on
the Radical-7, use the multi-parameter monitor for audible alarm indication.
Caution
If an alarm condition occurs while the Alarm Silence period is set to All Mute, the
only alarm indications will be visual display and symbols related to alarm
condition. No alarm will sound.
The Desat Index alarm is intended as an adjunct rather than in place of the Low Saturation
alarm.
Sensor Related Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions
This section contains sensor related safety information.
Warning
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Warning
Always remove the sensor from the patient and completely disconnect the
patient from the Radical-7 before bathing the patient.
Caution
If using the Radical-7 during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the
radiation field. If the sensor is exposed to the radiation, the reading might be
inaccurate or the instrument might read zero for the duration of the active
irradiation period.
Do not loop the sensor cable into a tight coil or wrap around the device, as this can damage
the sensor cable.
Patient Safety - If a sensor is damaged in any way, discontinue use immediately.
Failure to apply the sensor properly may lead to incorrect measurements.
Additional information specific to the Masimo sensors compatible with Radical-7, including
information about parameter/measurement performance during motion and low perfusion,
may be found in the sensor's directions for use (DFU).
