Although tonometry remains the gold standard for quality control of PCO2 and PO2 electrodes, most laboratories use commercially prepared quality control systems for biosafety and conven-ience.

Quality control is the system that entails the analysis of control samples and assessment of the measurements against defined limits, identification of problems, and specification of corrective actions.
