Procedure:
1 Check proper placement of central venous catheter and CeVOX probe.
2 Check the quality of the signal.
3 Withdraw a sufficient amount of central venous blood from the sideport of the CeVOX probe to avoid
intermixture of infusion/injection with the withdrawn blood.
4 Slowly withdraw 2 ml blood from the sideport of the CeVOX probe. Do not pull too strongly in order to
avoid a haemolysis.
5 Immediately confirm with button "Sample drawn".
6 If necessary put blood sample on ice and perform an analysis by a blood gas analysis device or a
laboratory oximeter.
7 Input lab values for Hb/Hct and ScvO

and confirm.
