Point-of-care studies
Point-of-care studies have been performed at three individual district
health centers in primary care with both nursing and physician services.
The studies were performed on capillary samples in duplicates tested on
HemoCue Hb 301 vs HemoCue Hb 201
against the International Council for Standardization in Haematology
method (ICSH)
using venous blood (2).

Despite this compliance it is impossible to predict any possible effects
by other nearby standing instruments, (stationary, portable or mobile
0.999
units) or the possible impact of electromagnetic radiance. This is the
reason we need to inform users of this analyzer that disturbance from
other equipment might affect the performance of the analyzer. Should
you note that this is the fact, please contact your local HemoCue
distributor.
The HemoCue Hb 301 is intended for use in the electromagnetic
environment specified in Technical specifications. The customer or user
of the HemoCue Hb 301 system should assure that it is used in such an
environment. The HemoCue Hb 301 Analyzer uses RF energy only for
its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and not
likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment.
The HemoCue Hb 301 system is suitable for use in all establishments,
including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the
public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used
for domestic purposes.
Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces
must be certified according to the respective IEC standards (i.e. IEC
60950-1 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical
equipment). Furthermore all configurations must comply with the
system standard, IEC 60601-1-1. Connections of additional equipment
to the signal input or signal output connections is deemed to be
"configuring a medical system", and therefore assumes responsiblity
