History
In the summer of 1952, Denmark was afflicted by a serious polio epidemic that killed hundreds of children – mostly from respiratory failure.
Dr Poul Astrup and anesthesiologist Bjørn Ibsen discovered that measuring the pH status of blood could prevent respiratory failure. They contacted Radiometer, which at the time had a device for measuring the acidity of liquids.
Could Radiometer develop an instrument that would do the same with blood? In a matter of days, Radiometer’s engineers developed what became known as the world’s first blood gas instrument.
Much has changed since 1952. However, our commitment to using advanced technology and insight into hospital processes to simplify and improve acute care testing remains the same.
