DiaSpect Tm

Hand-held hemoglobin analyzer

Pebble

Overview Specification Support Documents

DiaSpect Tm is now powered by EKF Link, which enables a paperless workflow and streamlined quality control management. This allows operators to focus on the patients and donors they serve instead of the analyzer in use. EKF Link enables new functions like Hematocrit calculation, quality control management, and patient data management.

DiaSpect Tm’s proven technology delivers laboratory-quality results within one second and transfers the test result data via Bluetooth or wired connection to EKF Link in real time.

The hemoglobin analyzer is palm-sized, making it easily transportable, and ideal for use in any blood screening setting, even in challenging climatic and remote environments.

DiaSpect’s ‘always-on’ technology means that professionals can start using the device immediately. The rechargeable internal battery, which provides up to 40 days / 10,000 tests of continuous use, allows for weeks without a power source.

The microcuvettes have a shelf life of up to two and a half years and can be used until the expiration date, even after opening the bag. Together with a 60-day shelf-life of QC material at 2°C to 35°C, all of the DiaSpect Tm accessoires are designed to ensure an uninterrupted workflow.

In addition, the air-release of the microcuvettes prevent the formation of air bubbles; this feature ensures that the need for repeating the testing procedure is minimized.
