pCO2 correction on iSTAT CG8+

Trying to determine if maybe this is a barometric pressure issue.

Thank you,

Verify Now

Any information will be appreciated-
Tilly

Said: You can run controls as unscheduled but it will not give you credit for doing the scheduled QC. Your iSTATs will lock out testing even if that QC was acceptable when run as unscheduled. I don't think the iSTAT will allow you...
