POCT Poctell Hb Hemoglobin Analyzer
The POCT Poctell Hb is a portable hemoglobin analyzer providing quantitative Hb results in <1 minute for up to 60 tests/hour using 10 µL whole blood samples. Designed for clinics, ERs, and field use, it features spectrophotometric detection, disposable cartridges, 3.5-inch touchscreen, 5,000-result storage, closed system, and barcode scanning for accurate, fingerstick-based anemia detection and transfusion monitoring.
Description
Hemoglobin Parameters: Core Anemia and Blood Volume Assessment The POCT Poctell Hb delivers precise hemoglobin (Hb) measurement to evaluate oxygen-carrying capacity, detect anemia, and monitor transfusion efficacy or polycythemia. This single-parameter focus supports rapid screening for nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, or acute blood loss, enabling immediate interventions like iron supplementation or fluid resuscitation in primary care, obstetrics, or emergency settings.
Parameters Measured: Quantifies total hemoglobin (Hb) in g/dL or g/L with linearity 0–25 g/dL, using azidemethemoglobin spectrophotometry for stable, interference-free results. Includes hematocrit (Hct) calculation (Hb × 3) and anemia classification (mild/moderate/severe), with CV <3% and alarms for critical lows (<7 g/dL) or highs (>20 g/dL) to flag transfusion needs or dehydration risks.
Sample Requirements: Requires 10 µL of whole blood via fingerstick or venous draw, loaded into disposable cartridges for capillary action. Supports barcode for patient ID, with hemolysis/lipemia flags to ensure quality; no anticoagulants needed, ideal for neonates, pregnant women, or remote testing without lab prep.
Throughput: Processes up to 60 samples per hour in handheld mode, suited for high-traffic sites handling 200–500 tests daily. Instant <1-minute TAT with one-step cartridge insertion enables mass screening in blood drives or routine checkups, with continuous operation for shift-long use.
Technology: Employs dual-wavelength spectrophotometry (525/880 nm) on lysed blood in cartridges, converting Hb to stable azidemethemoglobin for absorbance reading. Closed, single-use system eliminates cross-contamination, while temperature compensation (15–35°C) and auto-QC align with WHO/ISO 15197 standards for POC accuracy.
User Interface and Storage: Integrates a 3.5-inch color touchscreen with simple prompts, result trends, and multilingual support (up to 5 languages, including English and Chinese). Stores 5,000 results with Hb values, Hct, patient demographics, and timestamps; built-in mini thermal printer for reports, with USB/Bluetooth for LIS connectivity and PDF exports to apps.
Reagent System: Disposable cartridges (50 tests/pack) with pre-embedded lysing agents, stable at 2–30°C for 18 months. Auto-calibration per lot via QR code, no liquid reagents; low cost per test (<$0.50) with built-in controls for daily verification.
Dimensions and Portability: Handheld design at 140 × 70 × 25 mm (L × W × H) weighs 0.25 kg, pocket-portable for mobile or bedside use. Rechargeable battery (10+ hours) with AC adapter, operates silently (<40 dB) in 0–40°C ambient with 20–90% humidity, perfect for rural health or disaster response.
