The OPTI^® R analyzer is a microprocessor-based instrument that measures optical fluorescence from discreet sensors called optical electrodes (optodes).

A disposable, multi-use cassette contains all of the elements needed for sample measurement. The OPTI^® R utilizes a disposable fluid pack that contains all fluids needed for automatic calibrations, quality control and waste containment.

OPTI R Cassette Features:

• Room temperature storage eliminates time consuming equilibration and logistic issues
• 50 samples per cassette over 7 days reduces testing costs
• Launch Parameters: pH, PO2, PCO2, tHb, SO2, Na, K, iCa
• Sensor cassette is designed with the time tested OPTI^® methodology of using optical fluorescence and reflectance to determine analyte concentration
• Always ready allows for rapid results in STAT situations
• QC included – QC samples do not count as a patient sample
• No electrodes provides maintenance-free operation

The OPTI^® R analyzer utilizes a disposable fluid pack that contains all fluids needed to perform automatic calibrations and quality control without user intervention. The fluid pack also contains the waste pouch for easy disposal.

Fluid Pack Features:

• Room temperature storage eliminates time consuming equilibration and logistic issues
• 3 QC solutions independent from calibrators stored in the fluid pack
• OQM for monitoring of the complete system status
• Integrated transponder:
  • sends all pack calibration and QC information to the instrument
• Stores pack usage information
• prevents other manufacturers from reproducing the pack
• No scanning of barcodes or entering information
