Co-oximetry analyser IVD, point-of-care

A co-oximetry analyser IVD, point-of-care is a mains-powered instrument, potentially with internal rechargeable batteries, designed for use by healthcare professionals at the point of care or in laboratory settings. It performs quantitative in vitro measurements of oxygen saturation, haemoglobin derivatives, and related haemoximetry parameters from whole blood specimens, including oxyhaemoglobin, deoxyhaemoglobin, carboxyhaemoglobin, methaemoglobin, sulfhaemoglobin, and total haemoglobin.

Devices in this category are regulated as in vitro diagnostic medical devices and are intended for professional use only. They are typically supplied as standalone analysers requiring calibration, quality control, and trained operation, with results used to support clinical assessment of respiratory and metabolic status.
