Operator’s manual Note to users of the ABL80 FLEX analyzer Introduction
This note to users describes the linearity specifications for glucose as it relates to the pO2 level. The linearity of the glucose is dependent on the oxygen tension of the sample. This dependence is due to the co-reaction of glucose and oxygen by the enzyme glucose oxidase. Low pO2 levels can influence the linearity of the glucose sensor. The following table outlines the glucose linearity as a function of the pO2.
Instructions to user
Please place this document in the binder of your manual.
Brief Overview of the changes
Changes / Description To increase operator awareness, the specifications listed here regarding glucose linearity in the ABL80 FLEX analyzer will be added to the operator’s manual. This information is already provided in the ABL80 FLEX Reference Manual, chapter 6. Specification
CAUTION: Low pO2 levels can influence the linearity of glucose measurements, and can therefore result in falsely low glucose results. Please note that glucose performance is not specified when the pO2 is less than 20 mmHg (2.7 kPa). Impact of the pO2 level on Glucose linearity
If the pO2 level in a sample is:

1. Introduction Introduction
This chapter provides an introduction to all versions of the ABL80 FLEX analyzer. It describes the usage of the analyzer, lists all possible measured and calculated parameters, and lists substances known to interfere with the measurements. An explanation of the use of warnings and cautions is also included. This manual provides information for both the ABL80 FLEX and the ABL80 FLEX CO-OX analyzers. Features that apply to both analyzers are described only once. Features that differ between the two analyzers are clearly noted within the text of this manual. The ABL80 FLEX analyzer is available in two software configurations: FLEX and BASIC. Features that apply to both software configurations are described only once. Features that differ between the two software configurations are clearly noted within the text of this manual. The ABL80 FLEX CO-OX analyzer is available in two software configurations: CO-OX and OSM. Features that apply to both software configurations are described only once. Features that differ between the two software configurations are clearly noted within the text of this manual.

This chapter covers the following topics: Intended use ... 1-2 Known interfering substances ... 1-10 Warnings and cautions ... 1-11 Limitations of use... 1-12
1. Introduction
ABL80 FLEX Operator's Manual
Intended use Intended use
The ABL80 FLEX analyzer is a portable, automated analyzer that measures pH, blood gases, electrolytes, glucose, hematocrit (ABL80 FLEX analyzer only) and oximetry (ABL80 FLEX CO-OX analyzer only) in whole blood. The ABL80 FLEX analyzer system is intended for use by trained technologists, nurses, physicians and therapists. It is intended for use in a laboratory environment, near patient or point-of-care setting.
WARNING:
The user should review the analyzer performance data to assure that the performance fulfills the user-specific analytical needs.
Human blood
All ABL80 FLEX analyzer versions are designed for use with undiluted human arterial, venous, and capillary whole blood. The ABL80 FLEX analyzer (both software configurations) requires a minimum sample volume of 70 µL. The ABL80 FLEX CO-OX analyzer with CO-OX software configuration requires a minimum sample volume of 105 µL. The ABL80 FLEX CO-OX analyzer with OSM software configuration requires a minimum sample volume of 65 µL.
Animal blood
Animal blood has not been tested using the ABL80 FLEX analyzers. Some components in animal blood differ from those in human blood. Variations in the composition of blood from different animal species may also exist.
