Vitagas Blood Gas Analyzer
The Vitagas series is a blood gas analyzer designed for rapid blood gas, electrolyte and related parameter testing in clinical laboratories, intensive care, emergency medicine, anesthesiology and other critical-care environments.
Depending on the selected model, the system supports pH, pO₂, pCO₂, Hct, K+, Na+, Cl-, Ca²+, glucose and lactate measurement. Sample analysis is completed in approximately 60 seconds for standard parameters, while Lac/Glu analysis is specified at less than 90 seconds.
The analyzer combines automatic sample aspiration, integrated quality-control functions, a 12.1-inch color touchscreen, bi-directional LIS connectivity, WiFi, 4G, barcode scanning and thermal printing in a laboratory-oriented platform.
Key Features
Rapid Blood Gas Analysis
Standard sample analysis is completed in approximately 60 seconds, while configurations including lactate or glucose are specified at less than 90 seconds.
Low Sample Volume
The specified blood volume for full-parameter testing is less than 170 μL, supporting routine blood gas testing workflows with limited sample volume.
Multiple Parameter Configurations
Vitagas 5, 5A, 5B and 5E configurations cover different combinations of blood gas, electrolyte, hematocrit, glucose and lactate parameters.
Automatic Sample Handling
Automatic sample aspiration and sample-needle cleaning support capillary samples, arterial blood syringes and test tubes.
Integrated Quality Control
Built-in multi-level quality-control rules, QC charts and QC data management support routine laboratory quality-management workflows.
LIS and Wireless Connectivity
Supports bi-directional LIS communication together with built-in WiFi, 4G and remote maintenance functions.

Reagent Pack Configuration
Multi-specification reagent packs are available for different laboratory testing volumes. The catalogue specifies reagent-pack capacities from 50 tests per pack up to 1200 tests per pack.
The reagent packs can be stored at room temperature for up to 9 months and are specified for up to 45 days of on-board use.
An integrated flush-solution pack is provided as part of the fluid-management configuration. Final reagent-pack size and test volume should be confirmed according to laboratory workload and quotation requirements.
Glucose and Lactate Testing
Vitagas configurations supporting glucose and lactate use a disposable dry lactate-glucose electrode. The catalogue specifies an in-use period of up to 30 days for this electrode.
Glucose and lactate availability depends on the selected analyzer model and should be confirmed when selecting Vitagas 5B or Vitagas 5E.
Laboratory Connectivity and Data Management
The analyzer supports bi-directional LIS communication for laboratory information exchange. Built-in WiFi and 4G connectivity are provided together with remote maintenance support.
A built-in 2D barcode scanner supports sample and workflow identification, while test results and quality-control data can be stored, printed and exported according to laboratory requirements.
