The HemoCue Albumin 201 System is an easy, lab-accurate means of identifying microalbuminuria long before any possible symptoms of renal or vascular complications may appear. HemoCues patented microcuvette technology enables quantitative test results right at the point of care. You can make immediate treatment decisions, and give direct feedback to the patient.
Efficient Point-of-Care Albumin TestingThe HemoCue Albumin 201 System delivers swift and reliable albumin quantification in urine, supporting early detection of renal complications. Its compact size and silent operation make it an asset in both clinical and field settings. The intuitive LCD display and disposable microcuvettes contribute to simple, hygienic workflows and minimized risk of contamination. Designed for busy environments, the analyzer supports single-sample measurement without sacrificing precision or speed.
Accurate and Hassle-Free OperationWith factory calibration and a coefficient of variation under 2% at 30 mg/L, the device ensures dependable results every time. Operating within 18-30C and less than 90% humidity, it maintains high analytical performance. Results are obtained in approximately 90 seconds, stored for traceability, and easily transferred via USB or printed for integration with laboratory records. The system requires minimal maintenance, underscoring its reliability and user-friendliness.
FAQ's of HemoCue Albumin 201 System.:
Q: How does the HemoCue Albumin 201 System measure albumin levels in urine?
A: The system uses photometric technology and disposable microcuvettes to detect and quantify urine albumin within a measurement range of 5-200 mg/L. The process involves placing an 18 L urine sample into a cuvette and receiving results on the LCD display in about 90 seconds.
Q: What is the intended use of the HemoCue Albumin 201 System?
A: It is designed for the quantitative determination of low levels of albumin in urine, supporting the early diagnosis of kidney disease in clinical laboratories, point-of-care settings, and hospital wards.
Q: When should I use this analyzer and in what environments does it perform best?
A: The device is ideal for immediate albumin testing whenever renal dysfunction is suspected. It performs optimally in indoor environments with temperatures between 18-30C and humidity below 90%, and is suitable for use in clinical labs, hospitals, and diagnostic points of care.
Q: Where can results from the HemoCue Albumin 201 System be stored or transferred?
A: Measured results are automatically saved for up to 600 entries in the device memory. Data can be transferred via the USB port or printed directly for record-keeping and further analysis.
Q: What steps are involved in operating the HemoCue Albumin 201 System?
A: To operate, collect a urine sample, insert it into a disposable microcuvette, place the cuvette in the analyzer, and read the result on the LCD after approximately 90 seconds. The system's automatic mode simplifies the workflow.
Q: How is the system powered and how portable is the device?
A: The HemoCue Albumin 201 System operates on either battery or mains power (100-240V AC), offering flexibility and portability for various clinical settings. Its lightweight, compact design enables easy transport.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this analyzer compared to traditional methods?
A: Benefits include rapid and accurate point-of-care results, user-friendly automatic operation, no need for routine recalibration, silent functioning, and straightforward sample handling, thereby improving efficiency and patient care.
