What Is HB Meter?
A Hemoglobinometer Is an instrument used to determine the hemoglobin content of the blood by spectrophotometric measurement. Portable hemoglobinometers provide easy and convenient measurement, which is particularly useful in areas where no clinical laboratories are available.
What Is Hb Meter Measured In?
The amount of hemoglobin in whole blood is expressed in grams per deciliter (g/dl). The normal Hb level for males is 14 to 18 g/dl; that for females is 12 to 16 g/dl. When the hemoglobin level is low, the patient has anemia.
How Is Hb Concentration measured?
Hb is commonly measured by the cyanhemoglobin (hemoglobin cyanide) method. A sample of blood is diluted in a solution of potassium ferricyanide and potassium cyanide, which oxidizes hemoglobin to hemiglobin (Hi; methemoglobin) and then converts it to hemoglobin cyanide (HiCN).
Why Do We Measure Hb?
What is it used for? A hemoglobin test is often used to check for anemia, a condition in which your body has fewer red blood cells than normal. If you have anemia, the cells in your body don’t get all the oxygen they need. Hemoglobin tests are measured as part of a complete blood count (CBC).
How Accurate Is a Hemoglobin Meter?
Technical accuracy
The differences in haemoglobin measurement between each haemoglobin meter and the reference analyser ranged from −3.3 to 4 g/dl with a positive mean bias of 1 g/dl for MissionHb® (p < 0.001) and − 3.2 to 3.6 g/dl with a positive mean bias of 0.3 g/dl for Urit12® (p < 0.001).
