Touch Key Control Button and Icons
The touch key control buttons are the four dark grey control buttons to the right of the
Handheld display. To select a touch key icon, press and release the dark gray control button
to the right of the icon.
On the Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter display, four icons are shown on the right side or
bottom of the LCD display.

SENSITIVITY
Press the Sensitivity button to toggle between the Normal, APOD
and Maximum Sensitivity modes. Use the Normal Sensitivity set-
ting for typical monitoring purposes. Use the APOD setting where
there is a high probability of the sensor becoming detached. Use
the Maximum Sensitivity setting for patients with low perfusion or
when the low perfusion message is displayed on the screen in
APOD or normal sensitivity mode. The default is APOD.
CAUTION: When using the Maximum Sensitivity setting, the per-
formance of the SENSOR OFF detection may be compromised.
Note: In “Custom” mode the unit will remain in Normal or APOD
setting after a power cycle. Maximum Sensitivity will automatically
reset to Normal Sensitivity after a power cycle.
In “Neo” or “Adult” mode the unit will reset the sensitivity to the
hospital specified setting (Normal or APOD) after a power cycle.

CO-Oximeter on battery power, or try plugging the Pulse CO-Oximeter into a different
electrical outlet.
■ If artificial nails or excessive fingernail polish are present, select another site or
remove the polish/artificial nails.
■ If possible, ensure that the sensor is placed in a location with low ambient light.
Although the Radical-7 with integrated Masimo Rainbow SET technology has sig-
nificant immunity to ambient light, excessive ambient light may cause readings to be
incorrect.
CAUTION: IF ANY MEASUREMENT SEEMS QUESTIONABLE, FIRST CHECK THE
PATIENT’S VITAL SIGNS BY ALTERNATE MEANS AND THEN CHECK THE
PULSE CO-OXIMETER FOR PROPER FUNCTIONING.
SENSITIVITY
Three sensitivity levels enables a clinician to tailor the response of the Radical-7 to the
needs of the particular patient situation. They are as follows:
■ Normal Sensitivity – This is the recommended mode for typical monitoring purposes.
It is advisable for care areas where patients are observed frequently, such as ICU’s.
■ Adaptive Probe Off Detection (APOD) – This is the recommended monitoring mode
where there is a high probability of the sensor becoming detached. It is also the sug-
gested mode for care areas where patients are not visually monitored continuously.
This mode delivers enhanced protection against erroneous pulse rate and arterial
oxygen saturation readings when a sensor becomes inadvertently detached from a
patient due to excessive movement.
■ Maximum Sensitivity (MAX) - This mode is recommended for patients with low perfu-
sion or when the low perfusion message is displayed on the screen in APOD or nor-
mal sensitivity mode. This mode is not recommended for care areas where patients
are not monitored visually, such as general wards. It is designed to interpret and
display data at the measuring site when the signal may be weak due to decreased
perfusion. When a sensor becomes detached from a patient, it will have compro-
mised protection against erroneous pulse rate and arterial saturation readings.
CAUTION: WHEN USING THE MAXIMUM SENSITIVITY SETTING, THE PERFOR-
MANCE OF THE SENSOR OFF DETECTION MAY BE COMPROMISED.
IF THE UNIT IS IN THIS SETTING AND THE SENSOR BECOMES DIS-
LODGED FROM THE PATIENT, THE POTENTIAL FOR FALSE READINGS
MAY OCCUR DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL ‘NOISE’ SUCH AS LIGHT, VIBRA-
TION AND EXCESSIVE AIR MOVEMENT.
