Abstract
Abstract A method of photometric in vitro determination of at least one blood gas parameter in a sample of whole blood. The whole blood sample is obtained by connecting an at least partially transparent sample container to an in vivo locality and transferring whole blood into the sample container, then breaking the connection. The sample container is arranged in an optical system which has a radiation source and a means for detecting radiation to locate the sample container between the radiation source and the radiation detection means. Radiation is transmitted to the sample from the radiation source and radiation emitted from the sample is transmitted to the radiation detection means. The detected radiation is used to determine the blood gas parameter of the sample. A system for use in this method has a radiation source, a radiation detection means, an at least partially transparent sample container, and a sample container station.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
A method of photometric in vitro determination of at least one blood gas parameter in a sample of whole blood obtained directly from an in vivo locality comprising the steps of: (a) connecting an at least partially transparent sample container to the in vivo locality to obtain a sample of whole blood, the sample container being open at one end to receive the sample of whole blood and being essentially sealed to the passage of liquids but permitting the venting of gas at the opposite end; (b) transferring a sample of whole blood directly from the in vivo locality to the sample container; (c) breaking the connection between the in vivo locality and the sample container; (d) arranging the sample container relative to an optical system, wherein the optical system comprises a radiation source and a means for detecting radiation, such that the sample container is located between the radiation source and the radiation detection means; (e) transmitting radiation from the radiation source to the sample; (f) transmitting radiation emitted from the sample to the radiation detection means; (g) detecting the radiation transmitted in step (f); and (h) determining the blood gas parameter of the sample of whole blood from the radiation detected in step (g).
Claim 2
Independent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the sample container is placed in a sample container station and the sample container station is arranged relative to the optical system, such that the sample container is located between the radiation source and the radiation detection means of the optical system.
