2 Description
The ITC AVOXimeter 1000E is a Point of Care device for use at the bedside. It contains a test
chamber which performs all operations to measure the oxyhemoglobin saturation (%Hb0
2
), total
hemoglobin (THb), and oxygen content (O
2
) of a whole blood sample after the operator inserts a
test cuvette containing the sample into the test chamber.
Each ITC AVOXimeter 1000E is calibrated at the factory. The ITC AVOXimeter 1000E can be
operated either from its internal batteries or from the AC adapter. The batteries are charged when
the AC Adapter is connected.
