operation
Introduction
To operate the Rad-5 or Rad-5v Pulse Oximeters effectively, the operator must:
■
Know how the oximeter derives its readings (see Section 1,
Pulse Oximetry
)
■
Be familiar with its controls and operation.
■
Understand its status and alarm messages (see Section 5,
Alarm Identification,
System Messages
and Section 6,
Troubleshooting
).
Basic operation
GENERAL SETUP AND USE
1. Inspect the oximeter case for damage.
2. Ensure that the batteries are correctly installed.
3. Connect an LNOP DCSC Spot Check Sensor or patient cable to the Patient Cable
connector of the oximeter. Make sure it is a firm connection and the cable is not
twisted, sliced or frayed.
4. Select a sensor that is compatible with the oximeter before connecting it to the
patient cable. See
Section 8, Sensors and Patient Cables
. If using a single patient
adhesive or disposable sensor, check that the emitter (red light) and the photode-
tector are properly aligned. If using a reusable sensor, make sure it opens and
closes smoothly. Remove any substances that may interfere with the transmission
of light between the sensor’s light source and photodetector.
5. Attach the sensor to the patient. Refer to the Directions for Use of the sensor.
6. Connect the sensor to the patient cable with the logos lining up; make sure it is a
firm connection (does not apply for LNOP DCSC Spot Check Sensor).
7. Press the Power button to turn the oximeter on.
8. Verify all front-panel indicators momentarily illuminate and a one-second tone is
heard.
9. Verify the display shows mode, SpO
2
Low Alarm Limit, SpO
2
High Alarm Limit,
Pulse Rate Low Alarm Limit, Pulse Rate High Alarm Limit, Sensitivity and
Averaging Time.
10. Verify the front panel display is free of alarm and system failure messages (see
Section 5,
Alarms and Messages
) and the battery indicator shows sufficient charge
(see Section 4,
Battery Level Indicator
)
11. On the display, verify the readings for SpO
2
and pulse rate.
NOTE: “- - - “ will flash on the numeric display until the SpO
2
and pulse rate read-
ings have stabilized (approximately 10 seconds).
12. Rad-5 only:
Verify that the patient alarms are functional by setting the high and low SpO

and
Monitor setup
