  • Reason
    The linearity of the glucose is dependent on the oxygen tension of the sample. this dependence is due to the co-reaction of glucose and oxygen by the enzyme glucose oxidase. very low po2 levels can influence the linearity of the glucose sensor. as a consequence of this glu results will no longer be reported when the po2 value is below 25 mmhg.
