Frequently asked questions
What is included in the PLUS Analyzer Kit?
The PLUS Analyzer Kit provides a comprehensive setup for immediate hemoglobin and hematocrit testing and is CLIA Waived.
This kit includes the following essential components:
- The Hemochroma PLUS Analyzer (the main meter).
- PLUS Microcuvettes (100 per box) for blood sample analysis.
- The PLUS Optical System Check tool, which is used for verifying the system’s integrity.
Are quality control (Hb) materials available?
Yes, PLUS Hb Controls are available as a separate accessory configuration for the Hemochroma Plus meter. These quality control materials are essential for ensuring the ongoing accuracy and reliability of your readings.
The control set includes materials across three distinct levels to verify meter performance across its entire operational range of 5.0 to 25.6 g/dL:
- Level 1 - Low
- Level 2 - Middle
- Level 3 - High
Is the meter CLIA Waived for easy use?
Yes, the Immunostics Hemochroma Plus Hemoglobin Meter is CLIA Waived.
This designation is a major benefit, confirming that the device meets federal requirements for low-complexity testing under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). This makes it ideal for point-of-care and decentralized clinical testing environments, simplifying compliance.
In addition to its waiver status, the meter provides reliable results with excellent user features:
- Low Sample Volume: Requires only a small 15 µL blood sample for testing.
- Accurate Range: Measures hemoglobin levels between 5.0 and 25.6 g/dL.
- Clear Results: Results are presented on a sharp 3.25” Color LCD display.
Does the system measure hematocrit as well?
Yes, the Immunostics Hemochroma Plus is specifically engineered to provide accurate measurements for both hemoglobin and hematocrit levels simultaneously, offering comprehensive hematological data in one test.
Can this be used for routine quality assurance?
Absolutely. You can maintain reliable performance by using the dedicated PLUS Hb Controls, which are available in three levels (Low, Middle, and High), along with the Optical System Check tool to ensure the analyzer remains calibrated and accurate.
What is the benefit of the small sample size?
The meter only requires a 15ul sample volume. This small requirement is specifically designed to:
- Reduce patient discomfort during testing.
- Optimize reagent usage per test.
- Streamline the overall point-of-care testing workflow.
Are versatile configurations available for purchase?
Yes, the Immunostics Hemochroma Plus system offers flexible configurations, allowing you to purchase the complete kit or specific components needed for your testing environment. All configurations of the analyzer are CLIA Waived for use in non-laboratory settings.
Available configurations include:
- PLUS Analyzer Kit: Includes the Hemoglobin Meter Analyzer, 100 Microcuvettes, and the Optical System Check.
- PLUS Analyzer: The stand-alone Hemoglobin Meter unit.
- PLUS Microcuvettes: Replacement consumables, sold in boxes of 200.
- PLUS Hb Controls (3 Levels): Quality control materials provided at Low, Middle, and High levels.
- PLUS Optical System Check: Used for regular verification of the system’s accuracy.
How simple is it to interpret the results?
The device is designed for ease of use with a 3.25-inch color LCD display. It provides clear, immediate feedback and operational instructions directly on the screen, making it straightforward for healthcare providers to read and interpret diagnostic data.
Does the Hemochroma Plus require special training to operate?
The Hemochroma Plus is designed for clinical ease-of-use. It features an intuitive interface displayed on a 3.25-inch color LCD screen that guides the operator through the testing process. Because it is a CLIA-waived diagnostic tool, it is engineered to be straightforward for use in various professional point-of-care settings without requiring complex training.
What is the hemoglobin measurement range?
The Immunostics Hemochroma Plus meter offers precise measurements across a wide, clinically relevant spectrum for hemoglobin and hematocrit.
- Hemoglobin (Hb) Measurement Range: 5.0 to 25.6 g/dL
- Minimal Sample Volume: It requires only a small 15µL blood sample for analysis, which is ideal for rapid point-of-care testing.
- Regulatory Status: The device is CLIA Waived, ensuring its suitability for use in various non-laboratory testing environments.
