Calibration
The calibration can be divided into four kinds of calibrations:
pO
2
calibration
pCO

, cGlu, cLac calibration
pH, cK
+
, cNa
+
, cCa
2+
, cCl
–
calibration
Oxi calibration
pO
2
is sensitivity calibrated on ambient air and status checked on CAL1. For
further information on the pO
2
calibration see Calibration of the pO
2
sensor in
section pO
2
sensor in chapter 5 in this manual.
pO
2
is sensitivity calibrated once a day and status checked with every
measurement.
pCO
2
, cGlu, cLac are sensitivity calibrated on CAL3 and status calibrated on
CAL1. For further information on the pCO
2
, cGlu, cLac calibration, see
Calibration of the pCO
2
sensor in section pCO
2
sensor and Calibration of the
metabolite sensors in section Metabolite sensors in chapter 5 in this manual.
pCO
2
, cGlu, cLac are sensitivity calibrated every four hour and status calibrated
with every measurement. When a new sensor cassette is installed, the
sensitivity calibration is performed more frequently.

are sensitivity calibrated once a day and status
calibrated with every measurement.
ctHb and ctBil are sensitivity calibrated on S7770 ctHb Calibration Solution and
ctHb, ctBil and the oximetry parameters are status calibrated on a transparent
solution (CAL3) from the solution pack. For further information on the oxi
calibration, see Calibration of the optical system in section ctHb and derivates in
chapter 5 in this manual.
It is recommended that ctHb and ctBil are sensitivity calibrated (cuvette factor)
manually every three months by performing the tHb calibration. Also the
wavelength is calibrated. For further information on the ctHb calibration, see
section tHb calibration in chapter 6: Calibration in the ABL90 FLEX operator's
manual.
ctHb and the oximetry parameters are status calibrated every four hours and if
the temperature of the oximetry optical system changes to a temperature
outside drift limits.
