E-12 Rapidlab 1200 Operator’s Guide: System Specifications
02087462 Rev.V
The following tables summarize the results of the Rapidlab 1240 system precision for
manual QC and AutomaticQC.
Recovery and Precision of Blood Gases in Human Whole Blood
To prepare samples for analysis, blood was collected in heparinized vacuum tubes and
tonometered at 37ºC for each of 6 levels for pH and 9 levels for pCO
2
/ pO
2
. Multiple runs
were performed using these samples on a minimum of 3 Rapidlab
1240 systems.
