Description
Key Features
Assayed Control Material: This is a quality control solution with a known, specific hemoglobin concentration. It is used by medical professionals and lab technicians to verify the performance of their testing equipment, not for patient diagnosis.
High-Level Concentration: The "high level" designation means the solution's hemoglobin concentration is in a high, clinically relevant range (e.g., a target range of 16.7 g/dL to 17.3 g/dL). This allows users to confirm their instrument's accuracy at the upper end of its measurement scale. It is part of a complete quality control system that also includes low- and normal-level controls.
Optimized for HemoCue Systems: The product is specifically designed to work with the HemoCue Hb 301 and HemoCue Hb 801 systems, which are widely used for rapid, portable hemoglobin analysis.
Long-Term Stability: The solution offers a long shelf life when refrigerated. After a vial is opened, it remains stable at room temperature for 30 days, which simplifies daily quality control procedures and reduces waste.
Purified Hemolysate Matrix: The solution is made from a purified hemolysate that is optimized to mimic patient whole blood, ensuring the control material behaves in a way that provides a true and reliable check on instrument performance.
Uses
The primary use of the Eurotrol 287.003.002 is for quality assurance in a medical or laboratory setting. It is used to:
Verify Instrument Accuracy: Confirm that HemoCue Hb 301 and Hb 801 analyzers are calibrated correctly and are providing accurate hemoglobin measurements, especially in cases of polycythemia or other conditions with high hemoglobin levels.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Help healthcare facilities meet the quality control standards required by regulatory and accrediting bodies.
Monitor System Performance: Routinely check for any drift or potential malfunction in the instrument's performance over time.
Enhance Patient Safety: By regularly verifying the accuracy of the analyzer, healthcare providers can have confidence in the hemoglobin results from patient samples, which are crucial for diagnosis and effective patient management.
