Specifying a Different Value for Hüfner's Number
Hüfner's number (the volume of oxygen that can be carried by one gram of hemoglobin) is used
to calculate the oxygen content of a sample (see page 6). Although Hüfner's number is generally
assumed to be 1.39 mL/gm, facilities may use a different value and may wish to set the
AVOXimeter 4000 to match other instruments in the facility.
