Intended Use
The IL Synthesis (hardware, software, and reagents) is for the quantitative in vitro diagnostic determination of pH, pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide), pO2 (partial pressure of oxygen), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca++), chloride (Cl-), glucose (Glu), and Hematocrit (conductivity) in whole blood or pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide), pO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) in expired gases by direct ion selective electrode (ISE) potentiometry. Sodium and potassium results are used to monitor electrolyte balance. Note that the number of electrodes is limited and any given instrument will only contain two of the three functions: calcium (Ca++), chloride (Cl-) and Glucose (Glu). The IL Synthesis (hardware, software, and reagents) also permits the quantitative in vitro diagnostic determination of five forms of hemoglobin in whole blood samples, total hemoglobin (tHb), oxyhemoglobin (%O₂Hb), carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb), methemoglobin (MetHb) and reduced hemoglobin, also called deoxyhemoglobin (%RHb) and will also calculate the following parameters: oxygen content of hemoglobin (O₂ct), oxygen binding capacity (O₂ cap), and oxygen saturation (sO₂m). The IL Synthesis is designed for laboratory use to provide both measured and calculated results for blood gases, electrolytes, substrates, and co-oximeter parameters on blood and gas samples.
Device Story
IL Synthesis is a fully automatic, microprocessor-controlled analyzer family; integrates blood gas, electrolyte, glucose, hematocrit, and co-oximeter modules. Inputs: whole blood or expired gas samples. Operation: direct ion selective electrode (ISE) potentiometry for electrolytes/gases; co-oximetry for hemoglobin fractions. Output: measured concentrations of pH, pCO2, pO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, glucose, hematocrit, and hemoglobin forms; calculated parameters include O₂ct, O₂ cap, and sO₂m. Used in clinical laboratories; operated by laboratory personnel. Healthcare providers use results to assess patient electrolyte balance and oxygenation status, informing clinical decisions regarding respiratory and metabolic management.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. In-house studies evaluated between-day imprecision using three levels of ContrIL Plus and Hct CHECK QC materials, and dye-based controls for co-oximetry. Testing performed on three instruments (n=60 for blood gas/electrolytes; n=15 for co-oximetry). Results demonstrate consistent performance across parameters (pH, pCO2, pO2, Na, K, Ca, Cl, Glu, Hct, tHb, O2Hb, COHb, MetHb) with reported mean, SD, and %CV values.
Technological Characteristics
Fully automatic, microprocessor-controlled analyzer. Sensing: Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) potentiometry for electrolytes/gases; photometric/spectrophotometric analysis for co-oximetry. Measures pH, pCO2, pO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, glucose, hematocrit (conductivity), and hemoglobin fractions. Modular configuration allows selection of two from Ca++, Cl-, and Glucose. Designed for laboratory use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative in vitro diagnostic determination of pH, blood gases (pCO2, pO2), electrolytes (Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-), glucose, hematocrit, and hemoglobin fractions (tHb, O₂Hb, COHb, MetHb, RHb) in whole blood or expired gases for laboratory use to monitor electrolyte balance and oxygenation status.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A blood gases (PCO2 , PO2 ) and blood pH test system is a device intended to measure certain gases in blood, serum, plasma or pH of blood, serum, and plasma. Measurements of blood gases (PCO2 , PO2 ) and blood pH are used in the diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening acid-base disturbances.
