Oximetry parameters
ctHb = concentration of total hemoglobin
sO2 = oxygen saturation %
FO2Hb = fraction of oxyhemoglobin
FCOHb = fraction of carboxyhemoglobin
FHHb = fraction of deoxyhemoglobin
FMetHb = fraction of methemoglobin
FHbF = fraction of fetal hemoglobin
ctBil = concentration of bilirubin

11
Sampler types
Syringe Capillary tube
QC with adapter Expired air Test tube
12
AutoCheck
• Automated QC measurements
• Eliminates user-to-user
variance - results only reflect
analyzer performance
• Time-saving
• Holds 20 ampoules
13
Colour touch screen
• Operation and management
1 of the analyzer are
performed via the colour
touch screen
• The screen is divided into
three sections
1. Top section/status bar varies
2
slightly according to the
status of the analyzer and
setup
3 2. Center section contains the
main information and
1 Top section interaction area
2 Center section
3. Bottom section contains
3 Bottom section
navigation buttons and varies
slightly according to the
screen in question
14
Top section
3
• The status bar describes the
1 current task
2 E.g. calibration, rinse, aspiration
The time bar is present when the
analyzer is performing a task
• The parameter bar lists all
the measured parameters
available and activated
• The traffic light gives an
overview of various analyzer
1 Status bar activities and the traffic light
2 Parameter bar
colour shows the overall
3 Traffic light
status of the analyzer
15
Center section
• The center section is the
main information and
interaction area
• Each screen is identified by
an icon and a name that
matches the button that
gives access to it
• The screen may contain text,
check buttons, scroll bars, a
screen keypad or screen
keyboard
16
Bottom section
• The bottom section changes
with the different options,
depending on the screen in
question
1. In the Ready screen
Access various information, e.g. the
current time, next QC, if connected
to RADIANCE
The buttons can be selected to give
1
access to e.g. Logon/Log Off, the
Menu
2. General navigation buttons
Quality Control Result screen: “Close” – close actual window
3 2
“Back” – go one step backwards
3. Other navigation buttons
Results, ID, messages, print, etc.
1 Main menu
2 General navigation buttons
3 Other navigation buttons
17
Analyzer Status
• The Analyzer Status “traffic
light” gives an overview of
various analyzer activities and
the traffic light shows the
overall status for the analyzer
• Green: OK
No (critical) messages, no
replacements due at the present time
• Yellow: non-critical messages
A reminder, e.g. that a replacement
or a QC measurement is due or
error(s) in the last calibration or QC
measurement
• Red: critical messages
The analyzer cannot calibrate or
measure and error-prone parameters
are repressed
