1.2Principles of Operation

The OPTI CCA-TS2 is a microprocessor-controlled medical instrument measuring optical fluorescence from discrete sensors called optical electrodes (optodes).

A disposable, single-use cassette contains all of the elements needed for calibration, sample measurement and waste containment. Specific calibration information from the cassette is scanned into the analyzer by holding the cassette package in front of the bar code scanner. The cassette is then placed into the measurement chamber.

The analyzer warms the cassette to 37.0 ± 0.1 °C (98.6 ± 0.1 °F), and performs a calibration verification on the sensors for PCO2 and PO2 by passing a precision calibration gas mixture across the optode sensors. The pH and electrolyte channels are calibrated with precision buffer solution contained in the cassette. The tHb and SO2 channels are factory-calibrated.

Operator’s Manual – OPTI CCA-TS2

1-1

1 INTRODUCTION

When calibration is verified, the analyzer aspirates the blood sample into the cassette and across the optode sensors. Fluorescence emission is then measured after equilibrating with the blood sample. After a single measurement, the cassette, containing the blood sample, is removed from the analyzer and discarded. The analyzer contains no reagents, blood or waste.
