Good morning.  My Cardiac Cath Lab has acquired a new instrument, Cardohelp by Maquet.  It is a small portable ECMO.  It displays Hgb and O2.  Are these considered lab tests???  Does anyone have any experience with this instrument?


thanks!

Since it is measuring the parameters in a closed circuit, it is not considered a lab test by CLIA standards.
