Abstract
In a blood analysis system and method, a measurement unit with a measurement cell is alternately filled with blood and at least two specific fluids. At least one of the specific fluids serves as a calibration fluid for the measurement unit. A tag substance is added to at least one of the specific fluids to make the fluids distinguishable from each other and from blood, and the measurement unit includes a detector, arranged in the measurement cell, for determining the identity of fluid present in the measurement cell. The entire blood analysis system can be controlled and monitored on the basis of the identity of the fluid in the measurement cell.
