1.1 General notes
1.1.1 Application area
The instrument is designed to measure BG / ISE / tHb/SO
2
in whole blood. The accuracy of
measurement values is checked accordingly.
In order to achieve accurate measurements of recommended aqueous control solutions
(with regards to deviations from biological samples), choose the proper components and
make the corresponding corrections in the QC measurement mode.
The accuracy of measurement values of undefined aqueous solutions cannot be guaranteed
(e.g. due to the possibility of interfering components and/or missing or insufficient buffer
systems, and/or differences in ionic strength and diffusion potential when compared to bio-
logical samples).
1.1.2 Operating instructions
The Roche OMNI C should be enabled at all times!
If the instrument will remain turned off for longer than 24 hours, it is necessary to carry out
shutdown procedures (for more information, please see chapter 1.8, "
Installation " and 1.9
" Shutdown ").
Prevent fluids leaking inside the analyzer.
Complete at least one quality control test every day (please see chapter 5, " Quality Control ",
for more information) in order to quickly recognize error functions in the Roche OMNI C.
