Note to the users of the ABL90 FLEX analyzer
This note to users outlines the most significant changes and improvements of software
version 2.4 in the English version of the ABL90 FLEX reference manual (994-527).
Changes/Description
CHAPTER 3:
Calibration pCO
2
, cGlu, cLac calibration
With the warm start feature in software version 2.4, the last
sentence in this section: When a new sensor cassette is installed,
the sensitivity calibration is performed more frequently" is not
necessarily true and should, therefore, be ignored. The text
should, therefore, be as follows:
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.
CHAPTER 5:
Calibration Sensitivity, Definition.
In the table with the sensitivity range limits, the pO
2
max %
value has been changed from 105 to 110%.
The sensitivities are range checked:

(1.25
mmol/L level), and cCl
(110 mmol/L level) has been detected for
test concentration 1.5 mM and the other test concentration levels
should be ignored. The new interference results are, thereafter,
as follows:
