Providing lab accuracy and ease of use, the HemoCue® 201+ System has become a standard in hemoglobin point-of-care testing. Healthcare providers around the world rely on the immediate results so they can make the right decisions when they need them most — right at the point of care.
The HemoCue hemoglobin systems achieve precision and accuracy matching that of a central laboratory. We ensure that all products leaving our production facility meet or exceed rigorous specifications for: within lot variation, lot-to-lot variation, calibration, instrument-to-instrument variation, and total system variation.
Product Specifications
System
The HemoCue Hb 201+ System consists of two parts: a disposable microcuvette containing dry reagent and a factory-calibrated analyzer. The HemoCue Hb 201+ Analyzer should only be used with HemoCue Hb 201 Microcuvettes.
Method
The Hb 201+ System uses a modification of Vanzetti’s reagents, utilizing an azidemethemoglobin reaction yielding results within one minute. This method correlates well with the international reference method for hemoglobin determination (ICSH).
Analyzer
Measurements are made at two wavelengths, 570 nm for hemoglobin measurement and 880 nm for turbidity compensation. Specimen requirement 10 μL of capillary, venous, or arterial blood are needed for the assay.
Results
Results are displayed in g/dL within 15–60 seconds depending on the hemoglobin concentration.
Measuring range
The measuring range is 0-25.6 g/dL.
Quality control
The HemoCue Hb 201+ has an internal electronic “selftest” which automatically verifies that the optronic unit of the instrument is working properly each time the analyzer is switched on and every second hour thereafter. If additional quality control testing is required for regulatory reasons, contact HemoCue, Inc. for control information.
