Overview Specification Support Documents

EKF Diagnostics’ Hemo Vet is a point-of-care hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (HCT) analyzer designed to provide quantitative, lab-quality results in 25-60 seconds. The device uses the photometric azide methemoglobin method ensuring reliable results with high precision (CV <2%). Additionally, Hemo Vet also calculates hematocrit.

A backlit screen touch screen, a soft-load cuvette holder, and an integrated rechargeable battery make the Hemo Vet the ideal analyzer for veterinary clinic use and mobile settings. It features a bidirectional interface using a public standard protocol that allows direct integration with third-party software.

Hemo Vet allows a veterinarian to quickly assess the HCT and Hb concentration of any subject in the clinic or in the field, and enable rapid diagnosis of a particular disease state along with other clinical symptoms and initiate treatment.
