Evaluation of <scp>HemoCue</scp> 201 Performance for Hemoglobin Measurement and Anemia Detection in <scp>EDTA</scp>, Heparinized, and Capillary Blood Samples
The HemoCue 201 device reliably measured hemoglobin and detected anemia in all sample types. Heparinized blood, commonly used in point-of-care blood gas tests, can effectively support hemoglobin testing, reducing the need for additional blood draws. However, capillary samples exhibited greater bias, with variability influenced by pre-analytical factors. Standardized protocol and manufacturer guidelines helped minimize analytical variation.
