Reason

On the ABL90 analyzers the sample type "cord blood" has been changed into the two sample types "cord blood arterial" and "cord blood venous". The selected sample type is displayed correctly on the ABL90 analyzer itself. However, irrespectively of the sample type selected on the ABL90 analyzer during sample processing, the analyzer will transmit the less specific sample type "cord blood" to a hospital information system/laboratory information system (HIS/LIS)  or middleware system.
