Description
The HemoCue Hb 201 DM Analyzer pairs the proven Hb 201 hemoglobin chemistry with the data management hospitals require. A touchscreen, built-in barcode scanner and docking-station connectivity make each result traceable to its patient and operator. The 10 µL test itself still takes under a minute, from capillary or venous blood.
- Reference-method calibration – calibrated against the HiCN international reference method
- Barcode identification – patient and operator IDs scanned at the point of care
- Docking connectivity – charges and transfers data through PDS+ and SDS+ stations
Hemoglobin Results with Full Data Management
The analyzer uses the modified azidemethemoglobin reaction with dual wavelengths at 570 nm and 880 nm to compensate for turbidity in the sample. Its range runs from 0 to 25.6 g/dL, covering anemia screening through high hemoglobin values. Internal rechargeable batteries power the unit on the ward, and the docking station recharges it while moving results to the data manager. A built-in self-test verifies the optical system, and liquid controls can be run for documented QC. The DM platform is the choice for sites that must prove operator competency, QC compliance and result traceability.

Why Managed Programs Choose the Hb 201 DM
Hemoglobin testing programs are judged on the documentation behind the number as much as the number itself. This analyzer keeps the fast 10 µL workflow and adds the identification and transfer layer that accreditation reviews look for.
- Traceable results – scanned IDs tie every hemoglobin value to its patient and operator
- Reference-grade chemistry – HiCN-traceable calibration with turbidity compensation
- Always charged – the docking station recharges the analyzer between rounds of testing
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
Which microcuvettes does it use?
It uses the Hb 201 Microcuvettes, stocked separately in vial and individually packaged formats.
How are results transferred?
Results move through the PDS+ and SDS+ docking stations to the data manager, and the dock recharges the analyzer at the same time.
Does it need calibration?
No. The system is factory calibrated against the HiCN reference method and needs no further calibration.
What quality control is supported?
A built-in self-test checks the system, and optional liquid controls can be run for documented verification.
What package is sold here?
This listing is for the analyzer alone, sold as listed in the Each package configuration. Docking stations and microcuvettes are stocked separately.
