HB Meter Machine

The BioAid Hb meter machine is a compact diagnostic device designed for precise quantitative measurement of hemoglobin (Hb) and derived hematocrit (Hct) levels in human capillary or venous whole blood. Utilizing advanced reflectance photometry technology, the system analyzes light intensity and chromatic changes on reagent-based test strips, delivering lab-accurate results within 15 seconds using just a single 10μL blood droplet. The CE-certified optical system ensures ±0.5 g/dL Hb measurement precision. It's Ideal for point-of-care settings, this handheld analyzer combines portability with laboratory-grade performance, streamlining anemia screening and hematologic monitoring.

The Hb meter machine can store up to 1,000 results and records can be transferred to a computer for further analysis using the USB port. For Model BC-102, the records can also be transferred to a mobile terminal by bluetooth. The meter can be operated by 3 AAA (1.5V) batteries.

1. What is a hemoglobin test?
A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin is a protein that's the main component of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Hemoglobin contains iron, which allows it to bind to oxygen. Hemoglobin enables your red blood cells to carry oxygen from your lungs to other tissues and organs throughout your body.
The amount of hemoglobin you have, or your hemoglobin levels, provides clues about how healthy your red blood cells are. Knowing your hemoglobin level can help a healthcare provider diagnose blood disorders and other conditions. Hemoglobin tests are commonly used to diagnose anemia, which involves not having enough hemoglobin or healthy red blood cells.

2. Why is a hemoglobin test done?
Hemoglobin tests identifies the number of red blood cells in a blood sample. This information allows your provider to assess your health and screen for certain conditions.
You may perform a hemoglobin test if you have symptoms that suggest conditions related to low hemoglobin levels or high hemoglobin levels.

2.1 Low hemoglobin
Having low hemoglobin or too few red blood cells (RBC) can deprive your tissues and organs of the oxygen they need to make energy and keep you healthy.
Symptoms of low hemoglobin include:
● Fatigue.
● Pale skin (pallor).
● Weakness.
● Dizziness.
● Shortness of breath.
● Cold hands and feet.

2.2 High hemoglobin
Having high hemoglobin or too many red blood cells can cause your blood to thicken and become sluggish. Thick blood doesn't flow as quickly, depriving your organs of oxygen.
Symptoms of high hemoglobin include:
● Headaches.
● Blurred or double vision.
● Dizziness.
● Itching.
● Blood clots.

3. What do the test results mean?
A hemoglobin test can show if your levels are too low, as with anemia, or too high. It can also show how severe your condition is. It can't detect what's causing your abnormal levels.
Your healthcare provider will consider your hemoglobin levels alongside other test results to make a diagnosis.

4. What level of hemoglobin is normal?
The normal range for hemoglobin levels is 12 g/dL to 17 g/dL of blood for adults. However, levels may vary depending on your age, race and sex.
Factors related to your lifestyle and environment can also cause you to have abnormal levels, including:
● Altitude.
● Your diet.
● Exercise or physical activity.
● Medications you're taking.

5. What do low hemoglobin levels mean?
Lower than normal hemoglobin levels, or anemia, may be a sign that your body isn't producing enough red blood cells. Low levels may also signal that your red blood cells are being destroyed faster than they're made (hemolytic anemia). Chronic (long-lasting) blood loss also leads to a drop in hemoglobin levels. It's one of the most common causes of anemia.
Low hemoglobin levels may be a sign of:
● An iron deficiency.
● A nutrient deficiency (for example, vitamin B12 or folic acid).
● Cancers that affect your blood or bone marrow.
● Thalassemia.
● Kidney disease.
● Liver disease.
● Sickle cell disease.
● Autoimmune diseases.
● Blood loss resulting from surgery, injury, menstrual bleeding or bleeding from your gastrointestinal tract.

6. What do high hemoglobin levels mean?
Some conditions increase your number of red blood cells, causing too much hemoglobin in your blood. If you're dehydrated, your hemoglobin may be high because you have too many red blood cells in relation to your blood volume.
High hemoglobin levels may be a sign of:
● Polycythemia vera.
● Congenital heart defects.
● Certain types of kidney diseases, including kidney cancer.
● Lung disease, including chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD) and pulmonary fibrosis.
