Quantitative determination of Hemoglobin
Store at 2-8ºC
IVD

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
The calibrator is for determination of Hemoglobin
concentration in whole blood.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
The hemoglobin is a protein that contains iron
and that the red color to the blood. The
hemoglobin is in red globules and it is the one in
charge of oxygen transport by the blood from the
lungs to weaves.
When the level of hemoglobin appears
underneath the normal levels is describing an
anemia that can be of different origins: primary
anemia, cancer, pregnancy, renal diseases, and
hemorrhages.
If the hemoglobin levels appear high it can be
due to: cardiopathies, dehydratation and stays in
places of much altitude.
Clinical diagnosis should not be made on a single
test result; it should integrate clinical and other
laboratory data
