4.3.4 External quality control
If additional quality control is required by local or other
regulations, external control material may be used. For this
purpose, we recommend the use of EKF Diagnostics/Stanbio
Hemo Point
®
H2
Hemoglobin Controls:
Hemo
Point
®
H2 Bi-Level Hgb Controls -
Set of 2 dropper bottles: 1 x Hgb
control-low, 1 x Hgb control-high.
Hemo Point
®
H2 Bi-Level Hgb Controls -
Set of 6 dropper bottles: 3 x Hgb
control-low, 3 x Hgb control-high.
Instructions for ordering can be found in Section 10.1
“Replacement parts and consumer materials”.
There are a variety of hemoglobin controls on the market today.
EKF Diagnostics only recommends the use of the
Hemo Point
®
H2
Hemoglobin Controls, since we cannot guarantee the
compatibility of other brands of controls on the
Hemo Point
®
H2
system.
Thoroughly mix the controls before use (see the control package
insert for directions).
Compare the values obtained with the controls against the stated
reference values. If the Hgb result falls outside the range of the
controls, there is evidently a problem. Please consult Section 7
“Troubleshooting” in this regard.
