Rad-5/5v Safety Information, Warnings and Cautions
www.masimo.com 10 Masimo
WARNING: To ensure safety, avoid placing anything on the device during operation.
WARNING: If a sensor is damaged in any way, discontinue use immediately.
CAUTION: Do not place the Rad-5/5v where the controls can be changed by the patient.
CAUTION: Do not expose the Rad-5/5v to excessive moisture such as direct exposure to rain.
Excessive moisture can cause the Rad-5/5v to perform inaccurately or fail.
CAUTION: Do not place containers containing liquids on or near the Rad-5/5v. Liquids
spilled on the Rad-5/5v may cause it to perform inaccurately or fail.
CAUTION: To ensure patient electrical isolation, all external device connections to the
output interface port must be done using only authorized data cables.
Note: Use and store the Rad-5/5v in accordance with specifications. See Specifications.
Performance Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Rad-5/5v should not be used as the sole basis for medical decisions. It must be
used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
WARNING: Rad-5/5v should be considered an early warning device. As a trend towards
patient hypoxemia is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by laboratory
instruments to completely understand the patient’s condition.
WARNING: The Rad-5/5v is to be operated by qualified personnel only. This manual,
accessory directions for use, all precautionary information, and specifications should be read
before use.
WARNING: The Rad-5 is intended for continuous patient monitoring.
WARNING: The Rad-5v is intended for spot-check monitoring only, no physiological alarms
are provided.
WARNING: The Rad-5/5v is NOT intended for use as an apnea monitor.
WARNING: Pulse rate measurement is based on the optical detection of a peripheral flow
pulse and therefore may not detect certain arrhythmias. The pulse oximeter should not be
used as a replacement or substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis.
WARNING: Rad-5/5v can be used during defibrillation, but the readings may be inaccurate
for up to 20 seconds.
WARNING: Do not place the Rad-5/5v face against a surface. This will cause the alarm to be
muffled.
WARNING: Severe anemia may cause erroneous SpO
2
readings.
WARNING: Always remove the sensor from the patient and completely disconnect the
patient from the Rad-5/5v before bathing the patient.
WARNING: If any measurement seems questionable, first check the patient’s vital signs by
alternate means and then check Rad-5/5v for proper functioning.
WARNING: Rad-5/5v may be used during electrocautery. This may affect the accuracy or
availability of the parameters and measurements.
WARNING: Properly apply sensors according to sensor's directions for use. Misapplied
sensor or sensors that become partially dislodged may cause no or incorrect readings.
