Cornley Gaslite 80 Blood Gas Electrolyte Analyzer
The Cornley Gaslite 80 is a compact benchtop blood gas analyzer measuring pH, pCO2, pO2, K+, Na+, Cl-, Ca++, Hct with calculated parameters like BE, sO2%, TCO2, and AG, using 95 µL whole blood samples at up to 60 tests/hour. Optimized for ICUs and ERs, it features ISE potentiometry, 7-inch touchscreen, 10,000-result storage, closed reagent cartridges, and barcode scanning for fast, accurate acid-base and electrolyte assessment.
Description
Blood Gas Parameters: Core Respiratory and Metabolic Profiling The Cornley Gaslite 80 delivers essential blood gas analysis—pH for acidity, pCO2 for ventilation status, pO2 for oxygenation—integrated with electrolytes (K+, Na+, Cl-, Ca++) and Hct for comprehensive evaluation of respiratory failure, metabolic acidosis, or electrolyte derangements. This enables swift detection of conditions like hypoxia, hyperkalemia, or sepsis in critical care, guiding immediate therapies such as ventilation adjustments or fluid resuscitation in ICUs, ERs, or neonatal units.
Parameters Measured: Directly assesses 7 primary parameters: pH, pCO2, pO2, K+, Na+, Cl-, Ca++, Hct, with 16 calculated values including pH(TC), pCO2(TC), pO2(TC), TCO2, HCO3-, BE (base excess), sO2%, TCa, AG (anion gap), RI (respiratory index), AaDO2 (alveolar-arterial O2 gradient), O2 SAT, and tHb(c). Utilizes direct ISE potentiometry for whole blood accuracy, with linearity: pH 6.5–8.0, pCO2 5–90 mmHg, pO2 5–600 mmHg, K+ 0.5–10 mmol/L; CV <2% for reliability, plus critical alarms for values like pH <7.2 or K+ >6.0 mmol/L to alert life-threatening imbalances.
Sample Requirements: Requires 95 µL of whole blood, arterial/capillary, or 140 µL for venous, supporting syringe, capillary tube, or vial inputs without dilution for true point-of-care results. Barcode compatibility ensures patient ID traceability, with anti-clot probe and minimal hemolysis detection to maintain integrity in emergency or neonatal samples.
Throughput: Handles up to 60 samples per hour in continuous mode, perfect for high-acuity settings processing 400–800 tests daily. Results in <60 seconds per sample with auto-sampling and no manual calibration, enabling rapid serial monitoring for ventilated patients or post-op recovery without workflow disruptions.
Technology: Employs direct potentiometric ISE with 7 electrodes (pH, pCO2, pO2, K+, Na+, Cl-, Ca++) for undiluted measurements, plus conductivity for Hct, ensuring temperature-compensated (37°C) accuracy. Closed cartridge system integrates calibration and waste management for zero cross-contamination, while real-time signal processing and self-diagnostics align with CLSI/IFCC standards for consistent performance in dynamic environments.
User Interface and Storage: Includes a 7-inch color touchscreen with graphical trends and multilingual support (up to 6 languages, including English and Chinese) for intuitive operation. Stores 10,000 results with full datasets—parameters, calculations, patient inputs (FiO2, temp, Hb)—in a queryable database; built-in thermal printer for instant reports, with RS232/USB for LIS integration and PDF/CSV exports to support electronic records and audits.
Reagent System: All-in-one closed cartridges (200 tests/pack) with integrated calibrators (2-point) and cleaners, stored at room temp for 9 months or 45 days on-board at 2–8°C. Low waste design with auto-rinse reduces costs by 40%, and RFID tracking alerts for expiry, simplifying maintenance in busy critical care units.
Dimensions and Portability: Portable benchtop at 260 × 280 × 340 mm (W × D × H) weighs 6.5 kg, ideal for bedside or mobile carts in ERs. Low power (≤50 VA) and silent operation (<45 dB) fit 10–35°C ambient with 20–85% humidity, with optional battery for 30-min offline use.
