Improved potassium reliability in whole blood through hemolysis detection on the novel GEM Premier 7000 blood gas analyzer by Pighi Laura, Salvagno Gian Luca, Marcazzan Filippo, Rizza Mariateresa, Lippi Giuseppe

“…This study was planned to validate the hemolysis index (HI) threshold of GEM Premier 7000 blood gas analyzer for detecting hemolysis levels that may generate clinically significant interference in potassium measurement. Methods: Heparinized whole blood samples were collected from healthy volunteers and divided into six aliquots; one was used as non-hemolyzed control, while hemolysis was mechanically induced in the remaining five aliquots by repeated aspirations through a fine-gauge needle. …”
