These devices implement the so-called Coulter-method for counting cells passing
through a small aperture, and measures the hemoglobin content of red blood cells.
The analyzer features a color graphical LCD display module with touch screen, and
has a separate START button.
The software allows sending results to an external printer (via USB port), or can have
an optional, 58 mm built-in thermal printer module.
Its internal memory is capable of storing 1000 records with full histograms, and
individual patient data. QC measurements are also stored in separate database. The
software operating the instrument is easy to upgrade using a USB pen-drive. The
instrument allows connecting to a host computer for uploading records stored in the
memory through a USB B (slave) port. Archiving and restoring of records to and from
USB pen-drive is also possible.
