Priapism Fluid pH

Hello,
I am a new supervisor for POCT.
We have recently been requested to be able to test Priapism Fluid using epoc blood gas analyzer.
Is there anyone performing Priapism Fluid testing on epoc or i-STAT blood gas analyzers?
What values are being resulted? Is it considered to be a modified test or can it be considered a VBG?

Hi Dave,
 We test it on the epoc. Technically this is considered cavernous blood. Despite our request over several years that sample type has not been added to the menu for selection by Siemens. We treat it as a venous and I ask my team members to comment on the site. 

Thank you, Thomas. This is very helpful.
