Revision as of 20:23, 24 November 2025

Synonym(s)	I.O sample
Specimen	1 x Lithium Heparin (green) tube, 1 x EDTA (purple) tube, Sealed Arterial Blood Gas Syringe
Sample Type	Whole blood aspirate for CBC, Plasma or Serum for biochemistry tests
Minimum Volumes	200 uL for Biochemistry, 250 uL for CBC
Add-on conditions	N/A
Test Availability	Mon - Sun, 24 hours
Turnaround Time	Hastings 1 - 2.5 hours
Where analysed	Hastings
Department	Biochemistry ext. 2448, Haematology ext.2445
Registration Code	CBCD, FLUD
Deletion Code	N/A
Useful Information	Intraosseous samples are not suitable for full analyte testing: Haematology - The only reportable analytes are: Haemoglobin and Haematocrit only. No coagulation testing available. Biochemistry - Do not put intraosseous samples through the Blood gas analyser as whole blood. Run as Fluid Chemistry. The only reportable analytes are: Sodium, Chloride, Glucose, Calcium, Urea, Creatinine, Albumin, Total protein, and pH only.
Measurement Uncertainty	N/A
