PULSE OXYMETER (Masimo RAD-5)
Definition
Portable device allowing to monitor arterial oxygen saturation (% SpO2) as well as the pulse rate (beats/minute). This non invasive continuous measurement is taken thanks to a sensor placed on a finger, a toe or an ear lobe.

Instructions for use
Remarks
- The new sensors are compatible with the previous Nellcor models: N20PA/NPB40. The connection between the sensor and the cable is always grey (sensor) - white (cable).
- The new model of Masimo RAD-5 has a red connection and needs a red connection cable LNC-04 ref. 2055 for the sensors (wraps).
- The old models (<2010) with white connector need the white connection cable LNC-4 ref. 2017 for the sensors (wraps).
Be aware that multiple factors can affect the accuracy of a pulse oximeter reading, such as poor circulation, skin pigmentation, skin thickness, skin temperature, current tobacco use, and use of fingernail polish.
Make diagnosis and treatment decisions based on trends in pulse oximeter readings over time, rather than absolute thresholds.
Precautions for Use
To prevent batteries from deteriorating, it is recommended to remove them when the device is unused for a prolonged period or stored under damp conditions.
Storage
- Storage temperature: -40ºC to 70ºC
MSF requirements
Essential for any emergency room, ICU and delivery room.
