Introduction
The Insight® Hb Hemoglobin Testing System is intended for the quantitative
determination of hemoglobin (Hb) and calculated hematocrit (Hct) in
capillary and venous human whole blood. The easy to operate system
consists of a portable meter that analyzes the intensity and color of light
reflected from the reagent area of a test strip, ensuring quick and accurate
results.
The Insight® Hb Hemoglobin Testing System provides results in less than 15
seconds and requires only a single drop of whole blood.
The meter can
store up to 1,000 results and records can be transferred to a computer for
further analysis using the USB port.
The meter can be operated by 3 AAA
(1.5V) batteries or an optional AC adapter.
