Hemo Control

Hemoglobin and hematocrit testing

Pebble
Hemo Control is a point-of-care hemoglobin analyzer designed to provide quantitative, lab-quality hemoglobin results after 25 seconds.

Hemo Control uses the most established photometric azide methemoglobin method, ensuring reliable results with a high precision (CV <2%).

Hemo Control is used in blood banks, hospitals, and doctors’ offices for routine point-of-care anemia screening. Its backlit screen, soft-load cuvette holder, and integrated rechargeable battery make it the perfect analyzer for stationary use and mobile settings.

In addition to providing hemoglobin measurement, Hemo Control also calculates hematocrit.

Hemo Control is powered by EKF Link, which enables QC management, operator tracking, and seamless data transfer via USB or Bluetooth. It connects to EKF Link using a bidirectional interface, allowing for the direct transfer of test results to LIS/HIS/DIMS and other software communicating in HL7 or ASCII.

Advanced data management functions are available with the Hemo Control Manager version of the device, and the basic Hemo Control device can be upgraded with data management functions at a later date.

The ‘Add Pack’ Data management is an ideal future option for customers who plan for implementation into a hospital or lab information system but are not yet in a position to do so for technological or budgetary reasons.
