Filling the Measurement Sensors
Use this procedure to fill any measurement sensors that do not have sufficient fill
solution. Refer to Table 3-1 to determine the appropriate fill solution to use.
Materials required:
S appropriate fill solution
S lint-free tissue
NOTE: If your system has a CO-ox module, follow the procedure described for
the appropriate base model. For example, information identified for an 860 also
applies to an 865.
NOTE: The pO
2
and pCO
2
sensors do not require fill solution.
NOTE: The glucose and lactate biosensors do not require fill solution.
