NOTICE: In order to define the corrections accurately the measurements of the
oximetry parameters on the ABL90 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 the oximetry parameters:
