The new reality in Blood Gas QC

Tonometry at real sample temperature….

The new generation of the TM8000 offers active temperature management

For the first time samples can be tonometered at temperatures from 20,0°C to 39,9°C *

and the actual measured values can be determined at a body – or sample temperature

deviating from 37°C. The temperature corrections implemented in Blood Gas Systems,

which are based on a calculation model, can be determined and adapted with high

accuracy.

Determine the deviation of temperature corrections

Studies have shown that temperature corrections implemented in the Blood Gas

Systems often deviate significantly from the actual values. Depending on the partial

pressure deviations of more than 50% are possible at sample temperatures of 20°C.

With the TM8000flex the exact temperature corrections for different Blood Gas Systems

and applications can be determined.

Typical deviations on various sample – temperatures [Posterproject UKR-Regensburg]

Application examples:

• Cardiac surgery / Surgery:

Determination of the exact temperature correction for the used Blood Gas Analyzer at the

applied patient temperatures

• Manufacturer of Blood Gas Systems:

Simple determination of parameters for the implemented temperature corrections

• Professional Blood Gas Laboratory:

Precise quality control for Blood Gas Analyzers and temperature deviations

• Research:

Determine influence of sample temperature on Blood Gas Parameters and Blood-Glucose
