The STAT-Site M Hgb Test System is a palm-sized, battery-operated, dedicated hemoglobin test system designed for use in physician offices, public health clinics, blood centers and emergency rooms.
     The system consists of the dedicated reflectance meter and a proprietary hemoglobin test card that measure hemoglobin on a single drop of blood in seconds. A lot-specific Code key is provided in each package of reagent test cards.
     Once a Hgb Test Card is inserted into the meter, the system automatically pre-checks the test card. As soon as the drop of blood is added to the card, the sample is detected and the Hgb result is displayed on the LCD screen in either g/dL or mmol/L, once the analysis is complete. The reaction is based on the azidemethemoglobin method and uses either finger stick or venous whole blood samples.
     The STAT-Site M Hgb Test System has a linear range of 6 to 21 g/dL, within-run precision CVs of 3.5% to 4.9% and total precision CVs of 2.9% to 4.2%. These results were based on whole blood samples from infants, children and adult patients.
