Description
The HemoCue Hb 801 Analyzer returns a hemoglobin result in under one second from a 10 µL sample. Bluetooth and USB connectivity move results into the record without a docking station. The rechargeable-ready design and wide operating range suit busy clinics, donor centers and field programs.
- Under-one-second results – the fastest measuring time in the HemoCue hemoglobin line
- Wireless transfer – Bluetooth Low Energy and USB interfaces for result management
- Wide operating range – rated for 50 to 104°F (10 to 40°C) environments
The Fastest Hemoglobin Workflow HemoCue Has Built
The system measures absorbance of whole blood at an Hb/HbO2 isosbestic point inside the analyzer, with the microcuvette drawing blood in by capillary action. Calibration is traceable to the HiCN reference method, and the range of 1.0 to 25.6 g/dL covers the values clinicians act on. The analyzer weighs under 250 g and runs on three AA batteries, a USB adapter or the optional rechargeable battery. A large display and simple three-step workflow reduce training time for new operators. Built-in self-test and optional liquid controls support documented quality programs.

Why High-Volume Sites Move to the Hb 801
When hundreds of hemoglobin tests run in a day, seconds per test decide whether screening keeps up. This analyzer cuts the measurement itself to under a second and removes the docking step with wireless transfer, so throughput is set by sampling, not by the instrument.
- Throughput that scales – sub-second results clear screening lines faster than any earlier HemoCue model
- No dock required – Bluetooth transfer sends results onward from wherever testing happens
- Broad environment range – a 10 to 40°C operating window covers clinics, mobile units and field sites
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
Which microcuvettes does it use?
It uses the Hb 801 Microcuvettes, stocked separately in the 200-count package.
How do results reach the patient record?
The analyzer connects by Bluetooth Low Energy or USB, so results transfer without a docking station.
Does it need calibration?
No. The system is factory calibrated against the HiCN reference method and needs no further calibration.
What powers the analyzer?
It runs on three AA batteries, a USB adapter, or the optional HemoCue rechargeable battery.
What package is sold here?
This listing is for the analyzer alone, sold as listed in the Each package configuration. Microcuvettes are stocked separately.
