The OPTI CCA Blood Gas and Electrolyte Analyzer
- Innovative Optical Technology
- Provides fast accurate results for blood gases, acid-base balance, electrolytes, ionized calcium, and glucose
- Virtually Maintenance Free
- Run samples of whole blood, plasma and serum on single-use disposable cassettes
Innovative optical technology
The OPTI CCA analyzer utilizes optical technology that has been used in OPTI analyzers for 13 years. This technology does not use electrodes or contact points, eliminating the need for costly electrode maintenance.
Significant cost savings
The OPTI CCA analyzer provides lab quality results with zero standby cost. The single-use consumable, stored at room temperature, is only used during a measurement and safely locks waste inside.
Wide operating temperature
The OPTI CCA analyzer has a measuring chamber heated to 37º Celsius. This allows for a wide operating temperature range to meet the needs of colder environments such as the operating room.
Comprehensive test menu
To help meet exact testing needs, the OPTI CCA has a variety of cassette configurations available. Each cassette comes individually wrapped, in cartons of 25, reducing the potential for consumable waste.

The OPTI CCA analyzer is a microprocessor-based instrument that measures optical fluorescence from discreet sensors called optical electrodes (optodes). A disposable, single-use cassette contains all of the elements needed for calibration, sample measurement and waste containment. Specific calibration information from the cassette is read into the analyzer by swiping the cassette package through the bar-code reader. The cassette is then placed into the measurement chamber. |
The analyzer warms the cassette to 37.0° ±0.1°C (98.6° ±0.1°F), and performs a calibration verification on the sensors for PCO2 and PO2 by passing a precision calibration gas mixture across the optode sensors. The pH and electrolyte channels are calibrated with precision buffer solution contained in the cassette. When calibration is verified, the analyzer aspirates the blood sample into the cassette and across the optode sensors. After equilibrating with the blood sample, fluorescence emission is then measured.
OPTI CCA-TS Single Use Patient Cassette Features:
- Room temperature storage eliminates time consuming equilibration, logistics and storage issues
- Calibration of cassette before sampling eliminates losing sample if cassette calibration fails
- Long cassette shelf life of 6-8 months from the date of manufacture
- Easy and safe to maintain
- Waste is locked in the cassette for safe disposal
- No electrodes provides maintenance-free operation
- No reagents for zero standby cost
