Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Diagnostics PO₂ Electrode Cleaner in a clinical lab setting?
The Diagnostics PO₂ Electrode Cleaner is specifically designed to clean and maintain PO₂ electrodes used in clinical chemistry. Its purpose is to ensure accurate and reliable measurements of oxygen partial pressure (PO₂) in blood samples by removing contaminants after each use, thereby extending electrode lifespan and maintaining measurement precision.
Is this device intended for single-use or repeated use, and how does that affect its sterility?
This device is intended for single-use only in laboratory settings. It is supplied sterile, meaning it is pre-sterilized by the manufacturer to prevent contamination before first use. Since it is not designed for reuse, there is no need for additional sterilization steps after cleaning electrodes.
How is the regulatory status of this device determined, and what does that mean for buyers?
The Diagnostics PO₂ Electrode Cleaner is classified as a Class II medical device under FDA regulation 862.1120, with a 510(k) clearance (K831010). This means it has undergone FDA review to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, ensuring it meets safety and effectiveness standards for its intended use in cleaning PO₂ electrodes. Buyers can rely on this clearance as confirmation of its compliance with FDA requirements.
What type of electrodes is this cleaner compatible with, and where would it be used?
This cleaner is specifically designed for PO₂ electrodes, which are used in clinical chemistry analyzers to measure oxygen partial pressure in blood samples. It is intended for use in laboratory settings, particularly where blood-gas analysis is performed, such as hospital labs, clinical chemistry departments, or research facilities.
