Trend Setup and Use
Introduction
The Rad-57 can store 72 hours of SpO
2,
Pulse Rate (PR), PVI*, SpCO*, SpMet* and Perfusion
Index trend data, captured at 2 second intervals. This trend data can then be transferred to a PC for
evaluation.
Trend data is stored in non-volatile memory, so it is not erased when the Instrument is shut off or when
the batteries are replaced.
A Data Transfer Download cable is required to connect the sensor connector of the Rad-57 to the PC
and TrendCom software is required to download the trend data on to the PC. Refer to Section 10 -
Accessories and contact Masimo to acquire these optional items. Patient monitoring is not possible
while trend memory is being transferred to a PC.
A trend data download is initiated using the TrendCom utility which downloads the trend data and saves
it to a space-delimited ASCII text (.out) file.
*available in upgraded Instrument
TrendCom Utility Installation
Copy the TrendCom utility from the CD onto a PC running MS-Windows. Refer to Trendcom Directions
for Use for instructions.
Erasing Trend Memory
To erase (clear) the trend memory, turn the trend off and back on again. Enabling trend (setting Trend
to “ON”) will erase all trend data.
NOTE: Turning trend off will not erase trend memory. You may turn trending off and still retrieve the
trend data using TrendCom.
Turning the Rad-57 off or replacing the batteries will not erase the trend data.
Turn trending off before storing the Instrument for any length of time.
Trend Data Format
After a successful download of the trend data, a .out file will be created containing the trend-dump
information in ASCII delimited fomat. The format is defined in the following table.
