The ABL835 FLEX analyzer is intended for: in vitro testing of pleural fluid samples for the pH parameter. The pH measurement of pleural fluid can be a clinically useful tool in the management of patients with parapneumonic effusions. Critical values: pH >7.3 is measured in uncomplicated parapneumonic effusions. All pleural effusions with a pH of
ABL835/ABL830/ABL825/ABL820/ABL815/ABL810/ABL805 FLEX analyzers are several models of the same analyzer for the measurement of blood gas, pH, electrolyte, metabolite, cooximetry, and expired air for the parameters p02 and pCO2. An additional indication, namely the measurement of pH in pleura fluids, has been introduced for the ABL835 FLEX analyzer. This additional indication is based on a further development of the software used in all ABL800 FLEX (and ABL700 before that).

Identification. A blood gases (PCO2 , PO2 ) and blood pH test system is a device intended to measure certain gases in blood, serum, plasma or pH of blood, serum, and plasma. Measurements of blood gases (PCO2 , PO2 ) and blood pH are used in the diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening acid-base disturbances.(b)
