The RAPIDPoint 500 system is designed for professional use in a point-of-care or laboratory environment. This system tests blood gases, electrolytes, metabolites, total hemoglobin, and hemoglobin derivatives in arterial, venous, and capillary whole blood samples. The following parameters are tested: pH, pCO2, pO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, glucose, lactate, tHb, FO2Hb, FCOHb, FMetHb, FHHb, nBili
A mains electricity (AC-powered) instrument intended to be used by health professionals at the point-of-care, and often in the laboratory, for the quantitative in vitro measurement of blood pH, partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) and/or partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), and the measurement or calculation of other blood gas and co-oximetry parameters [e.g., bicarbonate (HCO3-), base excess, arterial-alveolar gradient, oxyhaemoglobin (O2Hb), deoxyhaemoglobin (HHb) or reduced haemoglobin (RHb), carboxy-haemoglobin (COHb), methaemoglobin (MetHb), sulfhaemoglobin (SHb), and total haemoglobin (totHb)] in a clinical specimen.
