Measurement cartridges can analyze a total of 750 patient and/or
QC samples, and measure blood gases, electrolytes, glucose, total
hemoglobin, and hemoglobin derivatives in arterial, venous and capillary
whole blood samples. Each cartridge is stable for 28 days after installation
on the system when the cartridge is installed by the date on the label. The
Install-by date indicates the last date on which the cartridge can be
installed and still have 28 days of use before expiration.

If a cartridge is installed after the Install-by date, it is stable for the number
of days remaining before expiration, that is, 28 days minus the number of
days past the Install-by date. View the Status screen to see the number of
days remaining and the expiration date. You cannot install a cartridge if
only 1 day of use is remaining. The system prompts you when you need to
replace the cartridge.
Store cartridges refrigerated at 2 to 8°C. Cartridges can also be stored at
room temperature, not to exceed 25°C, for up to 14 days.
