overview
Product Description
The Rad-8 is a noninvasive, arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitor. The Rad-8
features a multicolored LED display that continuously displays numeric values for SpO
2
and
pulse rate, as well as LED indicator bars for Perfusion Index (PI) and Signal Identification
and Quality Indicator (Signal IQ
®
).
The device consists of two models: the vertical Rad-8 and the horizontal Rad-8.

INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Rad-8 Pulse Oximeter and accessories are indicated for the continuous, non-invasive
monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO
2
). The Rad-8 Pulse
Oximeter and accessories are indicated for use with adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal
patients during both motion and no motion conditions, who are well or poorly perfused patients
in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile and home environments.
