Description

Radiance Data Management System, Software Version 2.60, modification for the ABL800 Flex Blood Gas Analyzer

Reason

Incorrect FI02 values: programming issue can cause incorrect values to be transmitted to the LIS when : 1)- The FIO2 result is edited in the manual sample processing mode--2)- An existing result is opened and FI02 is then edited and sent.....In both cases RADIANCE will transmit the original FI02 value, not the value that was edited.
