Clinical Precision and In-use Analyte Stability Study for 19 Parameters in Adult Arterial Whole Blood for PICO70 and SafePICO

PICO70 is a self-filling syringe for sample volumes in the range of 0.3-1.5 mL. All syringes are delivered with needle cube for safe needle disposal and a standard tip cap to reduce the risk of blood contact during blood mixing and sample transportation. safePICO is a more advanced group of syringes based on the PICO70 family. They contain a gold coated magnetic steel ball facilitating automatic mixing of the blood when being used with the Radiometer ABL 90 with mixing module. The safePICO is a self-filling syringe covering a volume range of 0.7-1.5 mL and includes a vented safe tip cap (VTC), which simplifies removal of air bubbles and avoid the operator to get in contact with the blood, after attachment to the syringe. Some variants of safePICO are delivered with a needle shield device (NSD) to ensure safe removal of the needle.
