Requirement to
the operator The analyzer should be used by personnel who have received special education and
training with regard to procedures utilizing in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
Measurements
on animal blood
Animal blood has not been tested on the ABL800 FLEX analyzer. Some
components in animal blood differ from those in human blood, and variations in
the composition of blood from different animal species may also exist.
FLEXMODE
This mode allows you to analyze a blood sample of 35
μ
L and higher – up to the
maximum volume accepted by your analyzer. Depending on the available sample
volume, the FLEXMODE provides the highest number of parameters: from all
available to as many as reliably possible.
This mode is not available in the ABL8x7 FLEX analyzers.
Measurements
on pleural fluids Pleura pH can be measured on pleural fluids. Corrections are present in the device.
Other fluids
mode All parameters available on your ABL800 FLEX analyzers can be measured on
fluids other than heparinized human whole blood
NOTICE: Before using this mode you must establish "user-defined corrections"
for each parameter used, on the fluid in question. The corrections assume a linear
correlation between the measured value and the reference instrument. The data
used for establishing "user-defined corrections" have to cover the desired
measuring range. If no user-defined corrections are entered, you will measure in
this mode as if on heparinized human whole blood.
FLEXQ module The FLEXQ module can accommodate up to three samplers simultaneously. It
reads a sampler's barcode, mixes the sample and transports the sampler to the inlet
for aspiration and analysis without any further assistance from the operator.
Results can be delivered via FLEXLINK (for information refer to the
RADIANCE
Installation and Setup Manual ).
NOTICE: The model ABL810 can also be ordered without oximetry parameters: as ABL810
BG only.
