Haemoglobin analyser IVD, point-of-care

A haemoglobin analyser IVD, point-of-care is a mains-powered instrument, potentially with internal rechargeable batteries, designed for use by healthcare professionals at the point of care and sometimes in laboratory settings to measure haemoglobin concentration in clinical specimens. It employs technologies such as colorimetry, electrometry, or photometry to provide rapid results for assessing anaemia or monitoring treatment response.

Devices in this category are regulated as in vitro diagnostic medical devices and are intended for professional use only. They are supplied as standalone analysers or with associated consumables like microcuvettes, and their regulatory status depends on the jurisdiction and specific intended use, but they are not classified as medicinal products.
