▪ Long-life, maintenance-free electrodes and minimal preventative maintenance
The cobas b 221 system is a fully automated analyzer intended for in vitro testing of samples of whole blood, serum, plasma, acetate and bicarbonate containing dialysis solutions and pleural fluid for the quantitative measurement of:
▪ pH
▪ Blood Gas (BG): PO2, PCO2
▪ Electrolyte (ISE): Na+, K+, Cl- , iCa2+
▪ Hematocrit (Hct)
▪ Metabolites (MSS): Glucose, Lactate, Urea/BUN (only on cobas b 221<6> system)
▪ Total Hemoglobin (tHb)
▪ Oxygen saturation (SO2)
▪ Hemoglobin derivative COOX (O2Hb, HHb, COHb, MetHb)
▪ Bilirubin (neonatal)
