FCOHb
The following recommendations apply to FCOHb:
Item Description
Units Fraction
Sample
The zero point (
FCOHb ≈ 0) is saturated to approximately
SAT100, and
ctHb is set to ≈ 15 g/dL (9.3 mmol/L) and pH ≈
7.4.
Offset
± 0.050
The following recommendations apply to FMetHb:
FMetHb
Item Description
Units Fraction
Sample
The zero point (
FMetHb ≈ 0) is saturated to approximately
SAT100, and
ctHb is set to ≈ 15 g/dL (9.3 mmol/L) and pH ≈
7.4.
Offset
± 0.050
The following recommendations apply to FHbF:
FHbF
Item Description
Units Fraction
Sample Radiometer recommends that ctHb in the adult samples (with
FHbF = 0) and fetal samples (with high FHbF) is set to ≈ 15
g/dL (9.3 mmol/L), sO
2
≈ 100 %, and pH ≈ 7.4.
The “Correction for HbF levels less than 20 %” function
should be enabled in order to have the FHbF value displayed
for the adult sample.
Averaging repeated measurements on blood from different
donors gives an optimized accuracy of the correction.
Averaging repeated measurements on blood from the same
donor also improves the accuracy.
