Overview

AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The Microhematocrit Rotor is a disposable component designed for use in capillary tube hematocrit analysis. It is classified as a centrifuge rotor under FDA product code GKG and is intended for use with microhematocrit tubes to separate blood components by centrifugal force, enabling hematocrit measurement—a key diagnostic indicator of red blood cell volume in blood samples.

This device is supplied as a single-use item and is used in clinical hematology settings, typically paired with microcentrifuges for laboratory testing. It is not sterile and requires proper handling to avoid contamination. The rotor is compatible with various centrifuge models, including those from Sorvall and HemoCue, and is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K930415). Storage should follow manufacturer guidelines to maintain functionality, and its use is governed by FDA regulations under classification II (device class 2).

Questions

AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What is the Microhematocrit Rotor used for?

    The Microhematocrit Rotor is designed specifically for capillary tube hematocrit analysis. It separates blood components by centrifugal force, enabling accurate measurement of the hematocrit—a critical diagnostic indicator of red blood cell volume in blood samples. This process is essential in clinical hematology for assessing conditions related to anemia, polycythemia, or dehydration.

  • Is the Microhematocrit Rotor single-use or reusable?

    The Microhematocrit Rotor is supplied as a single-use item. This design ensures consistency in results and reduces the risk of cross-contamination between samples, which is particularly important in clinical settings where precision and sterility are critical.

  • Which centrifuge models is the Microhematocrit Rotor compatible with?

    The rotor is compatible with a range of centrifuge models, including those from Sorvall and HemoCue. Its design adheres to standard centrifuge specifications, allowing it to function effectively in laboratory settings where hematocrit measurements are routinely performed.

  • How should the Microhematocrit Rotor be stored?

    Storage of the Microhematocrit Rotor should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to maintain its functionality. Proper storage conditions help preserve the rotor’s integrity and ensure reliable performance when used in conjunction with microhematocrit tubes and compatible centrifuges.

  • Is the Microhematocrit Rotor sterile?

    No, the Microhematocrit Rotor is not sterile. It is intended for single-use in clinical settings, and proper handling procedures must be followed to avoid contamination. Sterility is not required for this device, but aseptic techniques should still be observed during use to prevent sample compromise.
