Product Description
The Rad-57 Handheld Pulse CO-Oximeter with Masimo Rainbow
®
SET
®
Technology is a noninvasive,
arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitor. The Rad-57 features a multicolored LED display
that continuously displays numeric values for SpO
2
, Perfusion Index (PI) and pulse rate (PR), a Low
Signal IQ Indicator (Low SIQ) indicator, alarm status, alarm silence and battery life.
After upgrading, Carboxyhemoglobin saturation (%SpCO), Methemoglobin percentage (%SpMet), and
Pleth Variability Index (PVI™) can display if the corresponding sensors are attached.
When upgrading the Instrument, follow the upgrade procedures as described in the "Field Upgrader
Tool" Directions for Use, part number 31650.
