parameters
The optical system of the ABL800 FLEX analyzer is designed to measure the
following parameters:
Parameter Description
c
tHb
concentration of total hemoglobin
s
O
2
oxygen saturation
F
O
2
Hb
fraction of oxyhemoglobin
F
COHb
fraction of carboxyhemoglobin
F
HHb
fraction of deoxyhemoglobin
F
MetHb
fraction of methemoglobin
F
HbF
fraction of fetal hemoglobin
c
tBil
concentration of total bilirubin (the sum of unconjugated
and conjugated bilirubin) in plasma
NOTE: c
tBil
can be measured on a whole blood or plasma sample. Plasma
samples provide the optimal measurement performance. To obtain optimal
accuracy when following a patient trend in c
tBil
, use the same aspiration mode
and the same analyzer.
Hematocrit (
Hct
) is also available as a derived parameter.
Construction
The optical system is based on a 128-wavelength spectrophotometer with a
measuring range of 478 - 672 nm. The spectrophotometer is connected via an
optical fiber to a combined hemolyzer and measuring chamber.
