Analyzing Samples to Combine with
270 COĆoximeter Results
Use this procedure to analyze a patient sample at an 840, 850, or 860 system and
combine the results with results from a sample analyzed at a 270 CO-oximeter that
is connected to one of these systems. Refer to Appendix D, Connecting to External
Devices, for information about connecting the 270 CO-oximeter to an 800 base
model.
To combine results, you must simultaneously analyze the sample at the 800 system
and the 270 CO-oximeter. The 800 system assigns a sequence number to each
sample and reports sample results by this number. The 800 system stores the 270
results and prints a report showing the blood gas, CO-oximeter, and combined
results. The 800 also stores any pass-through results from the 270. You can recall
these results from the 800 system. Refer to Appendix F, Printed Reports, to see an
example of a combined report.
If you want the system to analyze a different set of parameters for the sample,
press Change Parameters to select another panel. Refer to Selecting Parameter
Panels, page 2-29, for more information.
BIOHAZARD:
Refer to Appendix A, Protecting Yourself from Biohazards, for
recommended precautions when working with biohazardous materials.
