We use Abbott TriControl Cal Ver. For pCO2, their product does not meet their upper reportable range of 130. Is anyone using a different manufactured material or patient samples to meet pCO2s over 100?

We use Eurotrol for our CalVer. We also use Eurotrol for hypo- and hyperbaric to get to the more extreme bottom and top of the pO2.
Yep, I see that now. They have broader ranges than the Abbott material. Thanks!
Guess I will be ordering some more Eurotrol. We do use the hypo and hyperbaric for our pO2
We decided to lower our reportable range from 130 to 100 mmHg due to this.
Can anyone tell me if the hypo and hyperbaric materials from Eurotrol have a limited expiration date, or are hard to order? I recall looking into them a few years ago and they were backordered for so long that by the time I got them there was a very short shelf-life. I also just lowered our reportable range for pCO2 and pO2 on our EPOC.
Our Hyperbaric expires in 2026! Hypoxic however has a limited shelf life (I think 3 weeks upon arrival). I have not had problems obtaining either in recent years.
