Abstract We describe an evaluation of the in-use stability and short-term precision of a three-level ampuled quality-control system for monitoring pH, pCO2, and pO2 measurements on clinical blood-gas analyzers. In three hospital laboratories, 324 such ampuls were opened and allowed to stand with their contents exposed to atmospheric conditions for accurately timed intervals up to 240 s. Contents were then analyzed for pH, pCO2, and pO2. Student's t-test was used to evaluate the significance of differences observed in recoveries after time exposure. At a signifcance level of P less than or equal to 0.05, the only significant changes observed throughout the first minute of exposure were average pO2 increases of 180 Pa (1.4 mmHg) (+ 1.4%) and 230 Pa (1.7 mmHg) (+ 2.9%) at levels of 13.4 and 7.7 kPa kPa (101 and 58 mmHg), respectively. The ampuled system was found to be stable precise convenient, and suitable for use in the routine laboratory.

Storage Temperatures

Abstract Directions for pre-analytical handling of ampules of two commercially available aqueous quality-control products (contrlL and G.A.S.) contain vague instructions such as "store at room temperature" and "shake vigorously" before analysis. We examined the effect of different storage temperatures (25, 31, and 38 degrees C) and shaking rate (one, two, and four shakes per second) on pH and blood-gas results. For both products, increasing the storage temperature significantly decreased pO2 results, the magnitude of the bias being greatest for those solutions with the highest O2 tensions. However, increasing the shaking rate partly offset this bias. Increasing storage temperature also decreased results for pCO2 and increased results for pH for both manufacturers' ampules with the highest CO2 tensions, and this bias was not offset by increasing the shaking rate. We conclude that both storage temperature and shaking rate must be precisely defined and carefully monitored before these products are used in a quality-control program.
