6. Press # if you want to enter patient data.
The 248 will use the values entered for patient temperature, ctHb and F
when calculating the results. If you do not enter patient data the 248 uses
normal (default) temperature (37°C), ctHb (15 g/dL (150 g/L, 9.6 mmol/L))
and F
Results may also be corrected for patient temperature, ctHb and F
measurement - see Recalling Last Sample Data, Page 2-10.
Example result. If the measured values are outside the reference ranges
an arrow indicates if they are above or below the range. If you selected
calculated parameters they are displayed on Screen 2. (See Section 5,
Configuring the System, for details on reference ranges and calculated
parameters.)
If a bubble or short sample is detected the 248 will alert you.
See Page 2-8 for detalis.
