Pre-analytical errors contribute to 70% of all laboratory diagnostic inaccuracies, significantly impacting the reliability of blood gas testing.¹ Studies report that up to 14% of specimens contain air bubbles,² and 12% of POC blood gas samples in emergency departments may be hemolyzed.³

This session will explore the real-world challenges clinicians face in Critical Care, focusing on improving result reliability and patient outcomes. Key indicators such as hemolysis will be discussed, along with a new solution designed to manage hemolysis errors at the point of care.
