The analyzers must meet the detailed specifications listed (e.g., measurement of pH, pCO₂, pO₂, electrolytes, lactate, oximetry parameters; closed‑system, barcode reader, automatic QC, small sample volume, portable tabletop design) and include one‑year warranty, four‑year service coverage, installation, user training, and a full validation kit.
