Sample size: 5 to 10uL capillary, venous or arterial whole blood.
Sample collected directly from skin surface into single-use micro-cuvette by capillary action.
Uses dedicated micro-cuvette (closed system).
Measuring range: 0 to 26 g/dL.
Read-out in: g/dL or mmol/L
Reading time: <20 sec.
Display informs: haemoglobin reading, reading errors, systems errors, battery status.
Automated point-of-care device for measuring haemoglobin in capillary whole blood
Technology: Dual wave length optical absorption photometry (506 nm and 880 nm for Hb measurement and turbidity compensation).
Both wave lengths are at isobestic points for oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin
Calibrated and built-in auto self test each time the device is switched on. Needs no further calibration.
Provides direct reading from inserted micro-cuvette.
Removable micro-cuvette holder to allow for easy cleaning
Accuracy: Correlation with the ICSH (International Committee for Standardisation in Haematology) reference method: 0.99
Symbols in display facilitate multi-lingual understanding
Interfaces: RS 232 to printer or computer.
Power supply: 220V /50 or 4 x type AA / R6 1.5 V batteries (allowing for 100h to 150h continued usage).
