Following the three simple steps, the HemoCue Glucose Systems will produce lab-accurate results for diagnosing or monitoring diabetes, as well as monitoring neonatal blood glucose levels. HemoCue Glucose 201 Analyzer - Lab-accurate results - Glucose 201 Analyzer: 0-444 mg/dL (0-24.6 mmol/L) - Only 5 µL of capillary, venous, or arterial blood is needed - No inherent limitations related to hematocrit or known drug interferences - No recalibration needed between cuvette lots Step 2. Filling the cuvette The HemoCue Glucose 201 System combines the precision and accuracy of a laboratory measurement with a quick turn around time and ease-of-use. The HemoCue Glucose 201 Analyzer is a handheld instrument and reports plasma equivalent values. The HemoCue Glucose 201 Analyzer is available with data management capabilities. The 201 DM Systems bring modern data management capabilities to the HemoCue product line. By means of a wide range of settings and definable options, the systems can be made to prompt the operator for identification, lot numbers, quality control and other required information during analysis. This data can then be transmitted to clinical information systems. HemoCue Glucose 201 DM Analyzer The microcuvette is made of plastic and contains a cavity that holds about 5 µL of sample. The cuvette cavity contains reagents deposited on its inner walls and the blood sample is drawn into the cavity by capillary action and spontaneously mixed with the reagents. The cuvette is then placed into the analyzer in which the transmittance is measured and the absorbance and glucose level is calculated. Glucose 201 Microcuvettes cannot be used in B-Glucose Systems and vice versa.   Individually packaged microcuvettes for the HemoCue Glucose 201 Analyzer are available. The individually packaged cuvettes can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. HemoCue Glucose Microcuvettes
