Normal patient monitoring
During normal operation, the Rad-5/5v Display shows oxygen saturation (as % Sp0
2
) on
the upper number and Pulse Rate (in beats per minute) on the lower number.
The following sections describe the function of the Rad-5/5v front panel controls during
normal patient monitoring.
RAD-5v FRONT PANEL CONTROL OPERATION
BUTTON FUNCTION
Power on/off. Press to turn Rad-5v on. Press-and-hold for 2 seconds to turn
Rad-5v off.
Front panel indicator brightness. Pressing this button will cycle the brightness
through the full range, then back to the lowest setting to begin the cycle again.
Alarm Silence. Pressing this button will acknowledge and permanently silence a
‘sensor-off’ and ‘no-sensor’ audible alarm (until power is cycled or patient moni-
toring begins). It will also suspend a low battery audible alarm if the Rad-5v is
not monitoring a patient.
If a low battery alarm occurs during patient monitoring, pressing the Alarm
Silence button will silence the audible alarm for 120 seconds.
Pulse Tone Volume. Pressing this button will cycle the pulse tone volume through
the full range, then back to the ‘silence’ setting to begin the cycle again.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Four LED indicators provide information on the remaining battery capacity. The operator
should monitor these indicators periodically to determine remaining battery life and if the
batteries should be replaced. Battery capacity is indicated in the following chart.
LOW BATTERY AUDIBLE ALARM
If a low battery condition occurs during patient monitoring, a low priority alarm will sound,
and can be silenced for 120 seconds by pressing the Alarm Silence Button.
If a low battery condition occurs while not monitoring a patient, pressing the Alarm Silence
Button will suspend the the audible alarm until the power is cycled or patient monitoring
begins.
A visual low battery indicator will continue to blink while audible alarms are silenced.
If a low battery condition occurs, immediately discontinue patient monitoring and replace
the batteries.
WARNING: USE ONLY ALKALINE BATTERIES. USE OF NON ALKALINE BAT-
TERIES MAY AFFECT THE ACCURACY OF THE BATTERY LEVEL METER.
WARNING: USE OF BATTERIES WITH A CELL VOLTAGE OF MORE THAN 1.5V
COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE.
WARNING: FAILURE TO REPLACE BATTERIES PROMPLTY AFTER A LOW
BATTERY ALARM MAY RESULT IN THE OXIMETER SHUTTING DOWN LEAV-
ING THE PATIENT IN AN UN-MONITORED CONDITION.
