The Carefusion 9425TRU – Arterial Blood Gas Samplers Micro is a crucial tool used in the diagnosis and management of a patient’s oxygenation status and acid-base balance. This test measures the acidity (pH) and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood from an artery, which is crucial in checking how well your lungs are able to move oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the blood.
The Arterial Blood Gas Samplers are particularly useful in establishing diagnosis, guiding treatment plans, aiding in ventilator management, improving acid/base management for optimal function of medications, and monitoring electrolyte levels critical to a patient’s status.
The set comes with 100 samplers per case, ensuring a good supply for regular testing. However, it’s important to note that accurate results depend on the proper collection, handling, and analysis of the specimen. This product is designed to minimize preanalytic errors such as nonarterial samples, air bubbles in the sample, inadequate or excessive anticoagulant in the sample, and delayed analysis of a noncooled sample.
