Hemoglobin Meter

About Hemoglobin Meter

While the physical analyzer unit retains the same design and core functionality across setups, it is categorized in the market by its connectivity capabilities and intended usage packages.

1. Standard Handheld POC Meter: The base standalone version widely used in remote field settings, mobile health camps, clinical laboratories, and blood donation centers for screening anemia.

2. Bluetooth BLE Integrated Smart Variant: Outfitted with an active Bluetooth chipset that syncs directly with clinical records management software or telehealth tracking applications.

3. Dedicated Consumable Components:

A1Chek HbChek Test Strips: Single use microfluidic PMMA strip kits, typically sold in 50 test vials, that draw blood via capillary action.

HbChek Control Sets: 2 level lyophilized quality control sets utilized by labs to double check analyzer accuracy over time.
