Setting Up and Using SatShare
Parameter values from the Radical-7 can be displayed on a multi-parameter monitor through
the SatShare feature. The SatShare feature provides an ideal, simulated plethysmographic
waveform that corresponds to the parameter values determined the by Radical-7. This
waveform may be used to display these values on multi-parameter monitors through the
multi-parameter oximetry sensor or input connector.
It is recommended that the Radical-7 be positioned near the multi-parameter monitor, with
the Radical-7 screen displaying the plethysmographic waveform and the parameter values.
Refer to the instructions for use provided with the multi-parameter monitor. See Device
Related Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions on page 14.
To set up for use with SatShare interface
1. Select the SatShare cable that is appropriate for the multi-parameter monitor. For
the latest list of available SatShare cables and validated instruments, see
www.masimo.com.
2. Connect the labeled end of the SatShare cable to the SatShare Cable connector on
the Docking Station. See Standalone Back Panel on page 39. For a secure
connection, tighten the cable connector screws.
3. Connect the other end of the SatShare cable to one of the following:
Sensor connector of the multi-parameter monitor cable
Directly to the multi-parameter monitor
4. Verify that the Radical-7 recognizes the SatShare cable. If functional, the name of
the SatShare cable displays on the Radical-7 screen.
5. As appropriate, configure alarm limits on the multi-parameter monitor.
6. Set the averaging time for the multi-parameter monitor to its lowest setting (or
fastest response). The ideal waveform for the Radical-7 requires additional
averaging by the monitor. If the averaging time of the multi-parameter monitor is
not changed, the time to display physiological changes in saturation on the
monitor is increased with SatShare. However, the delay can be minimized by
reducing the averaging time on the multi-parameter monitor.
7. While in the SatShare mode, if there are any significant discrepancies between the
readings from Radical-7 and those on the monitor displaying the values obtained
from SatShare, the values reported by the Radical-7 are to be considered the
correct values.
8. It is possible to use the Radical-7 with SatShare while the Radical-7 is not
connected to AC power. However, in this configuration, battery run time is
reduced. See Battery Operation and Maintenance on page 131.
9. On the Radical-7, turn on the Satshare Numbers option. See Device Output on
page 80.
10. If displaying the simulated waveform is not desirable, it is recommended to turn
off the plethysmographic waveform display of the multi-parameter patient
monitor. See Serial Interface Specifications on page 122.
