The Hemoglobin Monitoring System is intended for quantitative determination of hemoglobin in capillary, venous and arterial whole blood in professional health care settings for point-of-care testing, which uses a specially designed analyzer and specially designed strips. The VERI-Q Hb-Mate Hemoglobin Monitoring System is for in vitro-use only.   Veri-Q HB Mate requires less than 7 µl whole blood derived from fingerpick and gives Hb results at your convenience within 2 seconds.   The quantitative hemoglobin determination is indicated as a general fundamental test in acute as well as elective care. The test is used in assessing the status of a patient in such clinical situations as hemorrhage, hemolysis, dehydration and other shifts in plasma volume and for verifying the results of transfusion or treatment of other deficiency states such as malnutrition.
