About the Masimo Rad 8 Signal Extraction Pulse Oximeter
Masimo SET technology delivers accurate readings even when patients are moving or have poor circulation, unlike standard pulse oximetry that fails during motion artifacts. The Rad 8 maintains reliable SpO2 and pulse rate monitoring in challenging conditions where conventional oximeters give false alarms or lose signal entirely.
Three configurable modes (Trauma, Sleep, Home) adapt the monitoring parameters for different clinical scenarios, while the Low Signal IQ indicator tells you when signal quality drops below reliable thresholds. The upside: 72 hours of trending memory and over 8 hours of battery life keep monitoring continuous during transport or when AC power isn’t available.
