Measurement Principle
The measurement of total Hemoglobin (ctHb) and oxygen saturation (SO
2
) uses the well-established
principle of optical reflectance. Red and infrared light at three wavelengths is directed at whole, non-
hemolyzed blood within a precisely-defined part of the cassette over the O
2
optode. The photons are
partially absorbed and reflected by erythrocytes in a manner proportional to hemoglobin level; at low
hemoglobin levels the unabsorbed photons strike the O
2
optode’s pink overcoat and are reflected back
up through the blood a second time. A portion of the reflected light exits the top of the cassette and is
measured by a detector in the instrument. The infrared wavelengths are selected for the hemoglobin
measurement because they are largely independent of
S
O
2
, that is, the predominate forms of adult and
fetal hemoglobin absorb similarly within the 750-850 nm wavelength range. The red wavelength is
utilized for the
S
O
2
measurement because it is much more strongly absorbed by deoxyhemoglobin than
all other hemoglobins, and it is picked close to the isosbestic point for oxy- and carboxyhemoglobin.
Sensitivity to erythrocyte aggregation (rouleaux formation) is minimized by maintaining high shear force
just prior to measurement (see Interferences below).
