Description
RAPIDPoint 405 Blood Gas Analyzer; 10282093, 10310464, 10314817, 10317193, 10318999, 10320055, 10321238, 10322347, 10328278, 10328302, 10336784 Device is point-of-care system for comprehensive lab-quality testing to patient's bedside. Test menu includes blood gas, electrolytes, glucose, hematocrit, neonatal total bilirubin and full CO-oximetry from a single sample.
Therapeutic levels (1mg/mL and 2mg/mL) of Hydroxocobalamin may interfere with tHb and some of the CO-Ox fractions that are reported on the RAPIDPoint and RAPIDLab Blood Gas systems indicated. This may cause lower than expected values for carboxyhemoglobin (fCOHb) and methemoglobin (fMetHb). A negative interference with fCOHb has the potential to alter the medical assessment of the patient and may withhold necessary follow-up treatment and/or initiate cessation of medication in response to elevated fMetHb levels.
