Storage
Refrigerated storage at 2-8 ºC (35-46 ºF) should be maintained until the printed
expiration date on the box and ampule labels.
TriControls solutions may also be maintained at room temperature (18-30 ºC; 64-86 ºF)
for up to 5 days.
Do not use TriControls solutions past the labeled expiration date on the box and ampule
labels.
Ampule Use
When using cartridges that contain sensors for pH, PCO
2
, PO
2
and ionized calcium, a
separate ampule must be used for each cartridge being tested.
Do not use residual TriControls solution that may be in a syringe, ampule or capillary
tube for additional testing of cartridges that contain sensors for ionized calcium, pH,
PCO
2
, or PO
2
. However, cartridges without these sensors may be tested with remaining
fluids if that testing is performed within 10 minutes of opening the ampule.
Best Results
For best results, ampules, cartridges and handhelds should be at the same temperature.
Before Use
i-STAT TriControls solutions require different temperature stabilization times depending
on whether or not PO
2
is to be measured. If PO
2
is to be measured, equilibrate the
