4. Hemoglobin Testing By Cell Counter in labs analyzers/
meter at clinicians/ blood
banks By
hemoglobin

5. Ease of Anemia diagnosis
with finger prick of blood in QDx
Hemostat….!!

6. QDx Hemostat  Electrochemical  Better Strip Biosensor method
technology
 Ease of Use
for screening
 Lowest sample
volume (1µL)
 World’s Fastest
hemoglobin and
hematocrit analyzer
 Clear visible
readings
*Controls and data transfer facility available

7. What is Electrochemical Biosensor??•
An electric current is generated when Hemoglobin reacts with the
reagents of the strips. •
The strength of the current
is produced by the reaction depends
amount of hemoglobin in blood
on the •
The test meter
measures the current
hemoglobin levels
and display
the corresponding •
Advantage:
Results in better precision and reproducibility

8. Major Players in Hemoglobin Meter in Market
All are available with Optical reflectance principle
HemoPoint H2:
Based on optical
absorption
photometry
EKF- HemoControl:
Based on photometric
azide methemaglobin
method
HemoCue:
Based on optical
reflectance
Diaspect Tm:
Photometric Method

9. Grab the opportunity with
advantage of QDx Hemostat

10. Comparative Study Hemostat vs Hemocue Hemostat Hemocue
Feature/ Advantage
Hemostat
Hemocue
Principle/ high precision Electrochemical Biosensor
Optical reflectance
and reproducibility
Technology •
is an electrode
based methodology unlike Hemocue and other brands which are based on optical reflectance
Electro chemical method result in high precision
and reproducibility
as it

11. Comparative Study Hemostat vs Hemocue Hemostat Hemocue
Features/ Advantage
Hemostat
Hemocue
Strip Technology/ Ease
of Use
Require more
blood volume
(10µL),
possibility of
improper filling
Easy
blood flow,
requires
only 1µL •
Hemostat provides Ease of
use with big strip and easy grip .
Whereas Hemocue results in improper filling or presence of air bubble, or excess blood flow
resulting strips rejection (refer video link)
Strip Position in
system/ Prevents cross
contamination
Strip is
placed in the
system
Strip is
placed
outside
system •
Strip is placed Hemostat meter is away from system does not
allow cross contamination
Whereas in Hemocue strips are placed inside system can allow cross contamination,

12. Comparative Study Hemostat vs Hemocue Parameters Hemostat Hemocue
Small volume of blood/
no interruption in
performing test •
Strip of Hemostat requires small
blood volume (1µl)
spread uniformly
and do not
form any
air bubble causing interruption in result •
Whereas in
Hemocue
strips requires small blood volume (10µl)
chances
of having air bubble
and excess blood flow resulting in rejection of strip
No Cleaning
Technology/ Hygiene
No extra cleaning reagent required •
Hemostat do not
require cleaner reagent
for
cleaning and saves time
Whereas Hemocue which requires cleaning with Hemocue cleaner reagent for 15 minutes to
avoid cross contamination

13. Comparative Study with competitor
Hemocue vs Hemostat
Parameters
Hemostat
Hemocue
Appearance/ Small and
compact •
Hemostat portable and compatible to carry
requires space
anywhere unlike
Hemocue
which looks heavy
and

14. Summary of QDx Hemostat Evaluation Report against reference analyzers
Analyzers used
for study: •
Swelab
Alfa MCI
Medonic
KX21
Conclusion: Out of 78 samples, 74 samples were accepted with 94% of correlation with
reference analyzers
