The CDI 540 is a benchtop calibrator that accepts the CDI shunt sensors connected to the blood parameter module cable heads and exposes them to two known calibration gases (“Gas A” and “Gas B”) to establish a two‑point calibration curve.
It is used in conjunction with dedicated CDI calibration gas bottles that contain precisely defined pCO₂/pO₂ mixtures in a nitrogen balance, allowing the system to assign accurate reference values for pH, pCO₂, and pO₂.
Key Features
- Two‑point gas calibration: Uses CDI Gas A and Gas B to perform a rapid, automated two‑point calibration of the fluorescence-based microsensors, similar in principle to blood‑gas analyzer calibration.
- Integrated part of CDI 550 system: Designed specifically for use with CDI Systems (e.g., CDI 550) along with the monitor, shunt sensors, and H/S probe to provide continuous monitoring of up to 12 blood parameters during bypass.
- Compact form factor: Small footprint, tabletop device (approx. 32 cm × 21 cm × 26 cm, about 3.8 kg) that can be mounted near the perfusion console for convenient workflow in the OR.
