摘要

A blood gas analyzer (1) for performing a measurement on analyte parameters in a blood sample, such as a whole blood sample, aspirated into the blood gas analyzer (1) from a handheld blood sample container (100) comprises a controller (8), and a sensor system (5) for detecting a presence, a position and/or an orientation of the handheld blood sample container (100) relative to an inlet structure (12a/b). An aspiration system is provided for aspirating the blood sample from the handheld blood sample container (100), the aspiration system connectable to the handheld blood sample container (100). A user interface system is provided for outputting instructions to a user (102) of the blood gas analyzer (1), the instructions being selected among pre-stored sets of instructions. The controller (8) selects one of the at least two sets of pre-stored sets of instructions based on an assessment of a signal retrieved from the sensor system.
