Appendices Operator’s Manual  10-1  Appendix A: Sample Collection and Handling  Caution     Observe the general cautions required of the hospital, laboratory, or other testing facility.  All biohazardous materials should be handled and disposed of in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.  The blood and/or collecting tools, and used cartridges should be treated as biohazardous materials.  Wear appropriate personal protective clothing (lab coat, gloves, goggles, etc.).    And Be careful not to let the blood and/or collecting tools directly touch the mouth, eyes, mucus membranes, or any area with broken skin.  Wash hands after collecting the sample or using the analyzer.  Sample preparation  Use whole blood to a blood gas test.  To draw blood samples, use containers (syringe, capillary, blood collection tube) treated with heparin.    We recommend using a dry-sprayed heparin tube or a solid heparin tube. We do not recommend using a tube treated with anticoagulants such as Citrate, EDTA, Oxalate, NaF, etc., except heparin, since the blood-sampling tube containing such anticoagulants besides heparin can drop the performance of the sensors and/or can influence the analysis result.  Make sure there are no small air bubbles trapped in the collected sample.    Small bubbles in the sample can affect the results.  Samples containing clots and/or samples in which hemolysis is present or suspected must not be used.  Use whole blood samples for blood gas analysis should be analyzed as soon as possible. If immediately analysis is not possible, the sealed blood container must be placed in a bath containing ice and water. Ice-water stored samples at 1 to 4°C may give reliable results for up to 30 minutes.
