Use of the affected product can result in discrepant low pH and measured Total Carbon Dioxide (mTCO2) results and corresponding calculated values in arterial, venous, and capillary patient samples. An erroneously low pH or mTCO2 reading can lead to inappropriate treatment of nonexistent acidosis (respiratory of metabolic) or missed diagnosis of alkalosis (a true high pH: respiratory or metabolic alkalosis), potentially causing harm through unnecessary interventions with the former or failure to deliver appropriate treatment with the latter.
