BLOOD GAS CONTROL - LEVEL 3 (BG CONTROL 3)

CAT. NO. BG5003 LOT NO. 252BG


SIZE: 30 x 1.8 ml EXPIRY: 2023-09-28

GTIN: 05055273227123

INTENDED USE
This product is intended for in vitro diagnostic use, in the quality control of Blood Gas analysis.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Blood Gas Controls are supplied at 3 levels, 1, 2 and 3. Target values and ranges are supplied for the
following analytes: Calcium, Chloride, Glucose, Lactate, PCO2, pH, pO2, Potassium, Sodium and Total CO2.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS


For in vitro diagnostic use only. Do not pipette by mouth. Exercise the normal precautions required for
handling laboratory reagents. Health and Safety Data Sheets are available on request.

STORAGE AND STABILITY


UNOPENED: The product is stable to expiration date when stored at +2ºC to +8ºC. Avoid
exposure to freezing and temperatures greater than +30ºC.

OPENED: For pH/blood gas values, the control should be analysed within 1 minute of opening. For
electrolyte measurements, the control should be analysed within 1 hour after opening.

PREPARATION FOR USE


The Blood Gas Control should be brought to +20ºC to +23ºC before use. Allow at least 4 hours for
ampoules to equilibrate to this temperature, prior to testing. Before use, hold the ampoule at the top and
bottom (with forefinger and thumb) and shake 15 - 20 times to mix the solution. Tap the ampoule to restore
the liquid to the bottom of the ampoule. Open the ampoule by snapping off the tip at the score. Use gauze,
tissue, gloves or an appropriate ampoule opener to protect fingers from cuts. Immediately introduce the
liquid from the ampoule to the analyser.

MATERIALS PROVIDED
Blood Gas Control - Level 3 30 x 1.8 ml

ASIGNED VALUES
Due to the variation caused by test equipment, test reagents and laboratory technique, the quoted ranges are
provided for guidance. It is recommended that these ranges are used until each laboratory has established its
own ranges, based on individual laboratory requirements.

Each batch of Blood Gas Control is submitted to a number of external laboratories and values are assigned
from a consensus of results obtained by these laboratories.
