P

AND CALCULATED VALUES
FOR HCO
3
, BASE EXCESS AND
ANION GAP
P
CO
2
is measured by direct potentiometry. In the calculation of results for
P
CO
2
, concen tration is related
to potential through the Nernst equation. Results are measured at 37°C when using cartridges that require
thermal control and corrected to 37°C when using cartridges that do not require thermal control.
Calculated Values
When a cartridge includes sensors for both pH and
P
CO
2
, bicarbonate (HCO
3
), total carbon dioxide (TCO
2
)
and base excess (BE) are calculated.

Anion Gap is calculated in the EC8+ and CHEM8+ catridges as follows:
Anion Gap (EC8+) = (Na + K) – (Cl + HCO
3
)
Anion Gap (CHEM8+) = (Na + K) – (Cl + (TCO

- 1))
See below for information on factors affecting results. Certain substances, such as drugs, may affect

If results appear inconsistent with the clinical assessment, the patient sample should
be retested using another cartridge.
Intended Use
The test for
P
CO
2
, as part of the i-STAT System, is intended for use in the
in vitro
quantification of carbon
dioxide partial pressure in arterial, venous, or capillary whole blood.
P
CO
2
measurements are used in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of respiratory disturbances and
metabolic and respiratory-based acid-base disturbances.
Bicarbonate is used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous potentially serious disorders associated
with changes in body acid-base balance.
Contents
Each i-STAT cartridge contains one reference electrode (when potentiometric sensors are included in
the cartridge configuration), sensors for the measurement of specific analytes, and a buffered aqueous
calibrant solution that contains known concentrations of analytes and preservatives. For cartridges that
contain a sensor for the measurement of
P
CO
2
, a list of reactive ingredients is indicated below:
Reactive Ingredient
Carbon Dioxide (CO

)
Metrological Traceability
The i-STAT System test for carbon dioxide partial pressure measures carbon dioxide partial pressure
in arterial, venous, or capillary whole blood (dimension kPa) for
in vitro
diagnostic use.
P

values
assigned to i-STAT’s controls and calibration verification materials are traceable to U.S. National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) standard reference materials via commercially available certified specialty
