Heber Jonathan Perez served as a senior field engineer with Radiometer America in Brea, California, from 1991 to 2019. Heber Jonathan Perez’s work with Radiometer America centered around the installation and optimization of blood gas analyzers.
Blood gas analyzers are key pieces of medical equipment when it comes to determining the overall ability of the lungs to both permeate the blood with oxygen and clear the blood of carbon dioxide. These versatile machines analyze patient blood samples drawn from an artery to perform a range of clinical diagnostic functions.
In addition to calculating partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide, blood gas analyzers measure pH levels and bicarbonate concentration as well. In total, the ABL800 FLEX blood gas analyzer used by Radiometer allows technicians to test a panel of up to 18 STAT parameters in a single blood sample. Thanks to its short cycle time, it can produce accurate results in less than four minutes.
