Richard Wolf Bronchoscope Tubes, Model Texas. Device is reusable and should be sterilized prior to each use. Product Usage: Bronchoscopes are intended for investigation, diagnosis and therapy of pathological changes and removal of foreign bodies in the area of the tracheobronchial respiratory pathways, in conjunction with endoscopic accessories. The bronchoscopes can also be used endoscopically to visualize the tracheobionchial respiratory tract via the natural passage (oral). Tracheoscope tubes are used as follows: 1. The tube is used as a passage to the area to be examined or treated and allows the insertion of auxiliary instruments such as forceps, resector, remover , suction device and stents; 2. The internal diameter allows the conveying of gases for artificial respiration of the patient and via the ventilation connector in conjunction with the telescope element, the tube can be connected to all known respiration and anasthetic systems; 3. Sampling channel for respiratory gas analysis when gas for analysis is gained from the patient s central respiratory tract by means of the bypass method via the tracheoscope tube. M = identification on Luer connector; 4.Tracheoscopes are used in the trachea up to the tracheal bifurcation.

From three incidents in Denmark and Sweden, comparison studies on patient blood samples carried out for quality assurance demonstrated that creatinine measurements as determined on analyzers could be underestimated with up to 28% as compared with measurements from COBAS. The underestimated creatinine occurs specifically, when measurements on Autocheck 6+ level 1 (also known as S7835 Autocheck module and abbreviated AC6+L1) are less than or equal to 230 micro-meter of a specified insert interval for AC6+L1 with insert limits 210 290 micro-meter. Ultimately, a lower read-out on patient samples is observed Customers are concerned about underestimation of creatinine results in patients, which are to undergo radiocontrast x-ray investigations. If these patients are not healthy, the exposure of radiocontrast agents may induce kidney insufficiency (contrast-induced nephropathy). Hazardous situation: Underestimation of the concentration of creatinine.
