Design of a portable solid-state hemoglobinometer.

چکیده
The most widely used and accepted method for hemoglobin determination is the cyanmethemoglobin method. However, laboratory spectrophotometers used with this procedure are not amenable to field use. We describe the design of a portable hemoglobinometer for use with the cyanmethemoglobin method. Solid-state light sources and detectors are used, and a simple meter readout of hemoglobin is produced. Results obtained with the portable hemoglobinometer are presented and compared with assays of the same blood by the usual methods.

Comparison of the Accuracy of Noninvasive Hemoglobin Sensor (NBM-200) and Portable Hemoglobinometer (HemoCue) with an Automated Hematology Analyzer (LH500) in Blood Donor Screening
BACKGROUND The Hb levels of prospective blood donors are usually determined using a finger prick test. A new noninvasive Hb device has the advantage of not causing any sampling pain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the noninvasive Hb sensor and to compare its measurements with those of a currently used portable hemoglobinometer. METHODS Hb was measured using a noninv...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of anemia in children 6-59 months old in Pernambuco, a state in northeastern Brazil, so as to help guide health and nutrition policies there. METHODS In 1997 a representative sample of 777 young children had their hemoglobin concentration measured. The sampling process was in three stages. First, 18 municipalities were randomly selected to represent the s...
