What is the measuring range for the HemoCue Hb 201 system?
0 – 256 g/L
The instrument has a measuring range of 0 – 256 g/L. Results above 256 g/L are displayed as ‘HHH’.
How does HemoCue measure hemoglobin?
A venous or capillary sample is introduced into the microcuvette by capillary action and, after reaction with the reagents, the absorbance is read in the HemoCue photometer at 565 and 880 nm. The haemoglobin concentration is then displayed as a digital reading, in either g/dl or mmol/l in 15-45 seconds.
How accurate is a HemoCue machine?
The HemoCue device was generally precise and showed good correlation with the reference laboratory method (Figs 1 and 2); 158/184 (85.9%) of Hb values measured with the HemoCue were within 1 g/dL of those measured with the laboratory reference method, and 182/184 (98.9%) were within 2 g/dL.
How much does a HemoCue cost?
We have already done the research for you, and the average cost of Hemocue medical devices is currently $ 576.
What is HemoCue HGB?
R&D Glu/Hgb® is a tri-level control used to monitor the precision and accuracy of HemoCue® Glucose 201, HemoCue® Hb 201+ and HemoCue® Hb 201 DM analyzers. The three levels of control are designed to provide values in the abnormal low, normal, and abnormal high ranges.
What is HemoCue HGB test?
HemoCue point-of-care hematology tests provide rapid lab-quality patient hemoglobin levels and white blood cell count, so you can go from assessment to treatment in minutes.
Are home hemoglobin tests accurate?
The sensitivity of the HemoCue measurement was 81 % (95 % CI: 62 to 100) and the specificity 95 % (95 % CI: 88 to 100). In the population investigated, with a prevalence of anemia of 28 %, the predictive value of a positive HemoCue result was 87 % and of a negative result 93 %.
What is a HemoCue machine?
HemoCue point-of-care systems are available to test blood glucose, HbA1c, urine albumin, Hb and white blood cells with five part differential counts. The systems give immediate results with laboratory accuracy.
How do you clean HemoCue?
Clean the Hemo c C ue 201+ case each day of use with a clean cloth which has been dampened with a mild disinfectant lcohol ( non-phenolic) ethanol or isopropyl alcohol) or a mild soap solution . Allow the disinfectant 1-2 minutes contact time. Wipe off the disinfectant with a damp cloth. Use no abrasives at any time.
