The Masimo Rad-97 and Accessories are indicated for hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile, and home environments.
The Masimo Rad-97 and Accessories can communicate with network systems for supplemental remote viewing and alarming (e.g., at a central station).
The Masimo Rad-97 and Accessories are indicated for the continuous non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (Sp0O2), pulse rate (PR), carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO), methemoglobin saturation (SpMet), total hemoglobin concentration (SpHb), and/or respiratory rate (RRa). The Masimo Rad-97 and Accessories are indicated for use with adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused. In addition, the Masimo Rad-97 and Accessories are indicated to provide the continuous non-invasive monitoring data obtained from the Masimo Rad-97 and Accessories for functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR) to multi-parameter devices for the display on those devices.
The Masimo Rad-97 and Accessories are not intended to be used as the sole basis for making diagnosis or treatment decisions related to suspected carbon monoxide poisoning; it is intended to be used in conjunction with additional methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms.
The optional Nomoline Capnography product family is intended to be connected to other medical backboard devices for monitoring of breath rate and CO2. The Nomoline Capnography product family is intended to be connected to a patient breathing circuit for monitoring of inspired/expired gases during anesthesia, recovery and respiratory care. The environment is the operating suite, intensive care unit and patient room. The intended patient population is adult, pediatric and infant patients.
The optional non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) module is indicated for the noninvasive measurement of arterial blood pressure. The NIBP module is designed to measure blood pressure for patient population described in the following table:
Patient Population Approximate Age Range
Newborn (neonate) Birth to 1 month of age
Infant 1 month to 2 years of age
Child 2 to 12 years of age
Adolescent 12-21 years of age
Adult 21 years of age and older
