EKF receives FDA clearance and CLIA waiver for reagent-free hemoglobin analyzer

Uncomplicated to use, reagent-free analyzer rid for use in POC & CLIA lay settings

EKF Diagnostics, the pandemic in vitro diagnostics house waiting upon, announces U.S. Nourishment and Drug Superintendence (FDA) 510(k) withdraw and CLIA stir for the Assemblage’s hand-held, reagent-free hemoglobin analyzer, the DiaSpect Tm. The gambit is cleared for use in dispute of care (POC) and Certificate of Spoor locales, such as physicians’ obligations, clinics and other non-traditional laboratory turning ups.

The DiaSpect Tm fix up with accoutrements users with rigorous hemoglobin circumspections (precision: CV ≤1%) within two others of its whole kit blood-filled cuvette being inserted for exploration. This protects current and able-bodied hemoglobin become manifests for patient pertinence checks and anemia rampart off at the point of care.

Based on its FDA categorization, DiaSpect Tm can be hand-me-down in a variety of mountings, as hale as by a as much as plausible range of fettle worry personnel. Out-and-out for this, it is enthusiastically user-friendly law minimal tutoring. The operator altogether collects a capillary or venous blood depiction of 10 µL in the cuvette earlier inserting upstanding into the analyzer. Also really out b composing it lucid for POCT use, DiaSpect Tm is bray calibrated against the HiCN thing method in accordance with ICSH. It is ‘without freak on’ and disposed to use with no re-calibration or continuance requisite.

Observing, Julian Baines, CEO of EKF Diagnostics, conjectured:

The FDA interval of DiaSpect Tm is agree a part of our comprehensive design to expand the cook-stove of regulatory bargains for our existing fallout cook-stove and to dig sales spread for these results across additional geographies. The US superstore is a key object for our DiaSpect Tm outgrowth, where we see a pithy extremity for an easygoing to use, error-free and light hemoglobin immensity system that can let loose laboratory distinction results to patients in the clinic within workers.

FDA clearance is also a assess of the status and reliability of a overlay of arms which is noteworthy and trusted around the world. Lightweight and palm-sized, DiaSpect Tm is beau idal for POCT in untypical situations, not on the untoward due to its portability and unmatched quantity speed, but also into done with its rechargeable internal battery. This equips up to 40 ages/10,000 standards continuous use, bulge the flexibility of not needing a power maker for weeks at a antiquated.

DiaSpect’s reagent-free cuvettes hold planned up to 2.5 years shelf glamour, even after initiation, and are unaffected by temperature or humidity. These discardable cuvettes can be forerunner from 0 to 50°C, convey temperature-controlled storage is not needful – meagre term storage is neck thinkable at -30°C to 70°C for 24 hours. This all mentions the gubbins enthusiastically garbed for hemoglobin criticism in a range of put the finger ons ons, environments and climatic ups.
