Monitor setup
INITIAL SETUP
1. Inspect the oximeter case for damage.
2. Install 4 (four) new AA alkaline batteries.
3. Turn the unit on, the LEDs will scroll in the display window as the sensor calibrates,
verify all indicators illuminate and speaker sounds a brief tone.
4. Configure the unit for your regional power line frequency (50 or 60 hz) if needed.
Default is 60 hz (standard for the United States). See Section 4, Special Menu,
Special menu - Line Frequency Configuration.
CAUTION: THE UNIT MUST BE CONFIGURED TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL POWER
LINE FREQUENCY TO ALLOW FOR THE CANCELLATION OF NOISE INTRODUCED
BY FLUORESCENT LIGHTS AND OTHER SOURCES.
No other setup is required. Refer to Section 4, General Setup and Use for additional steps
to verify proper functioning of the unit.

Introduction
To operate the Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter effectively, the operator must:
■ Know how the oximeter derives its readings (see Section 1, Pulse Oximetry and
Carboxyhemoglobin)
■ 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 a Rainbow Sensor or Rainbow patient cable to the Patient Cable
connector of the oximeter. Make sure it is a secure connection and the cable is not
twisted, sliced or frayed. See Section 5, messages, to view messages that may be
displayed pertaining to sensors and cables.
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
photodetector 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 unit (or patient cable) with the logos lining up; make sure
it is a secure connection.
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 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)
10. On the display, verify the readings for SpO
2
, SpCO and pulse rate.
NOTE: “- - - “ will flash on the numeric display until the SpO
2
, SpCO and pulse rate
readings have stabilized (less than 15 seconds for SpO
2 and up to 25 seconds for
SpCO).
11. Verify that the patient alarms are functional by setting the high and low SpO
2
and
pulse rate alarm limits beyond the patient readings.
