Take time to review the material before you proceed to the final quiz. Identify the differences between the four RAPIDLab 1200 systems The RAPIDLab 1200 Series consists of four systems that are defined by the available parameters: RAPIDLab 1240:  pH, pCO2, pO2 RAPIDLab 1245:  pH, pCO2, pO2, tHb, FO2Hb, FCOHb, FMetHb, FHHb, nBili RAPIDLab 1260:  pH, pCO2, pO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, glucose and lactate RAPIDLab 1265:  pH, pCO2, pO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, glucose, lactate, tHb, FO2Hb, FCOHb, FMetHb, FHHb, nBili Identify system hardware components and their functions There are six hardware component modules within the RAPIDLab 1200 Series Blood Gas System. They are as follows: User interface module contains: High resolution touchscreen: Used to request sample analysis   Thermal roll printer:  Prints reports USB ports (CD/diskette drive in older model systems): Copy, save changes to setup, restore data, import/export maintenance activities, and used to install software Optional barcode scanner: Used to scan in patient ID's, accession numbers, ampoule barcodes for manual QC, operator ID barcodes, and password barcodes AutomaticQC module, which is optional, consists of: AutomaticQC cartridge: Contains 3 levels of QC material and is connected to the side of the system via a bracket  AutomaticQC interface. Contains a manifold that creates the fluid path for the QC materials to flow Waste module collects reagents, samples and waste. It has four components: Waste bottle: Houses waste Waste bottle housing: Protects the waste bottle Waste bottle latch: Allows the waste bottle to be inserted and removed Waste bottle detector: Detects the presence of the waste bottle and when the bottle is almost full Reagent module holds the reagents and creates the fluid path for samples, calibrators and wash fluid. It has four components. Reagent cartridge: Houses the reagents and calibrators  Reagent interface frame: Attaches the reagent and wash cartridges to the system. It helps to create the fluid path. Reagent manifold: Contains tubing for all the liquids Reagent door: One of two doors located on the front right side of the system  Wash module contains calibrator RCx and a wash reagent  (calibrator and wash fluid). The cartridge interface frame and the wash door are the other components that make up this module. The frame engages with the cartridge and the door is the second of two doors that is located on the front left side of the system. Measurement module: Contains up to eleven sensors which form the sample path  This is where sample analysis takes place Sample enters at the sample connector and flows to the detector bubbler via the pre-heater, fluid detector 1, sensors, fluid detector 2, and the pinch valve tubing. The pre-heater warms the sample to 37°C and the measurement block maintains the temperature. On the RAPIDLab 1245 and 1265 systems, the sample splits. A portion of the sample flows to the measurement module. Another portion flows to the CO-oximeter module to measure total hemoglobin, the hemoglobin fractions, and nBili. The CO-oximeter module consists of four components: Sample chamber: Stable for up to 60 days after installed on the system Sample chamber interface: Electromechanical component consisting of the optics head, fluidic connections, and the heater and drive mechanism for the sample chamber  Polychromator: Measures the light intensity and converts the signal to a digital value Pump: Peristaltic pump that compresses the pump tubing in order to generate flow of the sample Identify system consumables There are a variety of system consumables that are available to use in conjunction with the RAPIDLab 1200 Series Blood Gas System. They include reagent, wash and AutomaticQC cartridges, electrodes or sensors, sample port, Quick adaptor, external ampouled QC, fill solutions, a deproteinizer and conditioner, and air filter.

When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. The RAPIDLab 1200 Series consists of four systems which are defined by the available parameters. The systems and parameters are as follows: RAPIDLab 1240 system: pH, pCO2, pO2    RAPIDLab 1245 system: pH, pCO2, pO2, tHb, FO2Hb, FCOHb, FMetHb, FHHb, nBili    RAPIDLab 1260 system: pH, pCO2, pO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, glucose, lactate    RAPIDLab 1265 system: pH, pCO2, pO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, glucose, lactate, tHb, FO2Hb, FCOHb, FmetHb, FHHb, nBili Select Next to continue.     The RAPIDLab 1200 Series Blood Gas System uses a variety of consumables to operate the system. Select each tab below to learn about these consumables in further detail. Electrodes or sensors directly measure specific substances of interest, and are located in the measurement module. The sensors form the sample path. The electrolyte and pH sensors work with a reference sensor, while the pCO2 sensor has its own internal reference sensor. The methodology for these sensors is potentiometry. The biosensors for glucose and lactate, and the pO2 sensor, use amperometry.   The sample port is where the samples are introduced into the system and where the sample probe aspirates the sample. It is part of the reagent cartridge and is attached to the sliding valve, which changes positions depending on the function; whether aspirating patient samples or QC samples, reagents or AQC material.     There are other consumables available to use in conjunction with the system: Fill Solutions Deproteinizer and Conditioner Air Filter Fill solutions are chemical solutions used to fill the reference sensor, pH sensor and electrolyte sensors. KCl is used to fill the reference sensor, pH fill solution is used to fill the pH sensor, and the single Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca++ fill solutions are used to fill the single Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca++ sensors.  Note:  The pH and Na+ sensors are completely filled with fill solution, while the remaining K+, Cl-, and Ca++ sensors are almost filled with fill solution, leaving a small air bubble at the top of the sensor. A deproteinizer is used to remove protein buildup from the sample path. When you are processing certain types of blood, high hematocrit samples, or blood with high Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), a deproteinizer may be needed more often. A conditioner cleans and conditions the glass membrane of the pH and sodium sensors. The air filter prevents cooling problems and instrument failures.   Select Next to continue.     Quick® adaptors are used when performing external ampouled QC. The adaptor is manually attached to the ampoule and inserted into the sample port.     Cartridges: Reagent, Wash and AutomaticQC: The reagent cartridge holds the reagents and calibrates the system. It contains two calibrators in sealed foil bags. The wash cartridge contains RCx (calibrator) and a wash reagent (calibrator and wash fluid) which are used to calibrate the system. The AutomaticQC cartridge contains three levels of quality control material. Only the AutomaticQC cartridge is optional.     External ampouled QC is used for performing manual QC. Ampouled QC may be performed routinely according to facility directives, and may also be run in conjunction with the AutomaticQC cartridge.   Congratulations.
