“With the addition of the HemoCue to our laboratory we can now measure Hb at the time of testing. Most of our patients have a consultation with a physician immediately following their pulmonary function test so the addition of the HemoCue has allowed for accurate, instant Hb measurements.”
Natalie Gauci, Respiratory Function Laboratory Manager
“It’s a no-brainer to have the HemoCue® Hb 801 System! Not only because it analyzes so quickly but also because of the durability of the cuvettes.”
Ulrika Greczula, Blood Collection Manager for Halland County
“Using HemoCue® WBC analyzers allow our regional blood bank to reduce blood collection from donors with abnormal leukocyte levels. This translates into decreased costs for unnecessary blood donations and reduces the amount of blood destroyed after field drives and at off-site departments that do not have hematology analyzers.”
Danuta Prusak, Laboratory Diagnostician & Head of QC Laboratory
“To us, time-saving is a critical factor, and this is why we still use the HemoCue® WBC DIFF System today. Daily workflow at the emergency room includes a lot of non-value-added time since a large part of the flow consists of waiting. A large benefit is the possibility to reduce any waiting time.”
Younis Khalid MD and Head of Section, Queen Silvia's Hospital for Children
