Product
RAPIDLab 1265 Blood Gas Analyzer; 110321852, 10470366, 10491395 Device is point-of-care system for comprehensive lab-quality testing to patient's bedside. Test menu includes blood gas, electrolytes, glucose, lactate, neonatal total bilirubin and full CO-oximetry including total hemoglobin.
Reason
Therapeutic levels (1mg/mL and 2mg/mL) of Hydroxocobalamin may interfere with tHb and some of the CO-Ox fractions that are reported on the RAPIDPoint and RAPIDLab Blood Gas systems indicated. This may cause lower than expected values for carboxyhemoglobin (fCOHb) and methemoglobin (fMetHb). A negative interference with fCOHb has the potential to alter the medical assessment of the patient and may withhold necessary follow-up treatment and/or initiate cessation of medication in response to elevated fMetHb levels.
