NOTE: In order to define the corrections accurately, the measurements of the
oximetry parameters and bilirubin on the ABL800 FLEX analyzers should be made
without any entered corrections. To avoid truncation errors from an enabled “Out
of range suppression” function it is important to disable the function.
The following recommendations apply to ctHb:
