Description
Key Features
Assayed Control Material: This is a quality control product, not a patient test. It is a solution with a specific, known hemoglobin concentration.
Normal-Level Concentration: The "normal level" designation means the solution's hemoglobin concentration falls within a healthy, normal range (typically a target range of 12.7 g/dL to 13.3 g/dL). This allows laboratories and clinics to check their equipment's performance at a common and clinically relevant concentration. It is part of a series that also includes low- and high-level controls to ensure accuracy across the full range of possible patient results.
Optimized for HemoCue Systems: The solution is specifically formulated for use with the HemoCue Hb 301 and HemoCue Hb 801 systems, which are widely used for rapid, on-site hemoglobin testing.
Convenient Liquid Format: The product comes in small, dropper-style vials, which are easy to use in a professional setting.
Excellent Stability: It has a long shelf life when refrigerated and provides 30-day stability at room temperature after the vial is opened. This reduces waste and makes it convenient for daily quality control checks.
Uses
The primary use of the Eurotrol 287.002.002 is for quality assurance in a medical or laboratory setting. It is used to:
Verify Accuracy: Confirm that the HemoCue Hb 301 and Hb 801 analyzers are calibrated correctly and are providing accurate hemoglobin measurements.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Help healthcare facilities meet the quality control standards required by regulatory and accrediting bodies like CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments).
Monitor Instrument Performance: Detect any potential issues or drifts in the instrument's performance over time.
Guarantee Patient Safety: By regularly checking the accuracy of the analyzer with this control, healthcare providers can have confidence in the hemoglobin results from patient samples, which are vital for diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as anemia.
