Accuracy of point‐of‐care‐testing (POCT) for determining hemoglobin concentrations

Abstract

The above-stated requirement for POCT systems, i.e. that the confidence limits should lie close to 5 g/l cHb, held true for the dry heparinized samples of the blood gas analyzer (1st measurement and mean of 2), the HemoCue system (mean of 3) and the automated hematology analyzer.
