NON-INVASIVE TOTAL HEMOGLOBIN (SpHb) ACCURACY COMPARED TO INVASIVE
LABORATORY METHODS*
In 492 comparisons of non-invasive total hemoglobin (SpHb) and invasive hemoglobin (tHb)
measurements from a laboratory CO-Oximeter, SpHb accuracy was as follows:
■ 0.90 correlation
■ 0.95 g/dL standard deviation
■ Below 12 g/dL, 99% of SpHb readings were < 2 g/dL of the laboratory tHb value
■ At or above 12 g/dL, 94% of SpHb readings were < 2 g/dL of the laboratory value

SAFETY INFORMATION, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES
The Radical-7 Signal Extraction Pulse CO-Oximeter is designed to minimize the
possibility of hazards from errors in the software program by following sound
engineering design processes, Risk Analysis and Software Validation.
■ The Radical-7 is to be operated by qualifi ed personnel only. This manual,
accessory Directions for Use (DFU), all precautionary information, and
specifi cations should be read before use.
■ Variation in hemoglobin measurements may be profound and may be affected by
sample type, body positioning, as well as other physiological conditions. As with most
hemoglobin tests, Radical-7 test results should be scrutinized in light of a specific
patient’s condition. Any results exhibiting inconsistency with the patient’s clinical status
should be repeated and/or supplemented with additional test data.
■ Explosion hazard. Do not use the Radical-7 in the presence of fl ammable
anesthetics or other fl ammable substance in combination with air, oxygen-
enriched environments, or nitrous oxide.
■ Electric shock hazard. Do not open the Radical-7 cover except to replace the
battery of the Handheld instrument. Only a qualifi ed operator may perform
maintenance procedures specifi cally described in this manual. Refer servicing to
Masimo for repair of this equipment.
■ High intensity, extreme lights (including pulsating strobe lights) directed on the sensor
may not allow the Radical-7 to obtain readings.
■ The Radical-7 should be considered an early warning instrument. As a trend
towards patient hypoxemia is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by
laboratory instruments to completely understand the patient’s condition.
■ If patient hypoxemia is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by laboratory
devices to completely understand the patient's condition.
■ The Radical-7 is NOT intended for use as an apnea monitor.
■ Pulse rate measurement is based on the optical detection of a peripheral flow pulse
and therefore may not detect certain arrhythmias. The Radical-7 should not be used
as a replacement or substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis.
■ As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
■ Do not place the Radical-7 or accessories in any position that might cause it to
fall on the patient. Do not lift the Pulse CO-Oximeter by the power cord or any
other cable.
