CONSULT® HEMOGLOBIN TESTING SYSTEM USER MANUAL
INTENDED USE
The Consult® Hemoglobin Testing System is intended for the in vitro quantitative measurement of total hemoglobin in non-anticoagulated capillary whole blood and venous whole blood drawn in K2EDTA or lithium heparin tubes in point-of-care settings and in non-anticoagulated capillary whole blood and venous whole blood drawn in K2-EDTA tubes in blood bank settings. The Consult® Hemoglobin Testing System consists of the Consult® Hemoglobin analyzer and specifically designed disposable cuvettes, the Consult® Cuvettes. The Consult® Hemoglobin analyzer is only to be used with Consult® Hemoglobin Cuvettes.
- Caution: Federal law restricts this device for sale by or on the order of a physician or other licensed practitioner (Rx only).
- CLIA Complexity for whole blood: Waived
Laboratories with a Certificate of Waiver must follow the manufacturer’s instructions for performing the test or the test will no longer be considered CLIA waived.
PRINCIPLES OF THE PROCEDURE
Based on a photometric principle, the Consult® Hemoglobin Testing System utilizes a broad-spectrum, multi-chromatic sensor with compensation for turbidity and scattering which measures the absorbance of whole blood over a wide spectral range. The light path length through the cuvette cavity, in combination with the Consult® Hemoglobin analyzer, determines the exactness of the hemoglobin measurement. The cuvettes do not contain any reagent. The hemoglobin concentration is calculated from the measured absorbency at multiple wavelengths. The system is factory calibrated (and requires no further calibration) against the hemoglobin cyanide (HiCN) method, the international reference method for the determination of hemoglobin concentration in blood as described in NCLLS H15-A3and ICSH standard 1995.1,2
A comprehensive list of consumables, spare parts and accessories for the Consult® Hemoglobin analyzer can be found on pages 23 and 24.

Advanced settings
Hematocrit:
Approximate hematocrit value. If this option is activated, the hematocrit
value is calculated and displayed for hemoglobin values between 12.0 and 18.0
g/dL.
If the hemoglobin is inside the normal range, an estimation of the hematocrit
is obtained by multiplying the measured hemoglobin concentration (expressed in
g/dL) by factor 2.943. This calculation should not be used outside the normal
range of hemoglobin in humans, e.g. under 12.0 g/dL (7.44 mmol/L) and above
18.0 g/dL (11.16 mmol/L). It should not be used in anemic conditions. The
hematocrit is displayed for information only and should not be used for
clinical decisions.

SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION FOR ANALYSIS
Capillary blood or venous whole blood containing K2EDTA or lithium heparin anticoagulant may be used.
CAPILLARY SAMPLING
With gloved hands, take a Consult® Hemoglobin Cuvette out of the foil bag and
close the bag. Make sure the hand is warm and relaxed. Use the middle or ring
finger for sampling. Avoid fingers with rings on.
- Disinfect and dry the puncture site.
- Gently massage the finger towards the tip to increase blood flow. Avoid going past the first knuckle.
- Make the incision on the upward-facing side of the fingertip, so that the blood drop sits on top of the finger, to facilitate filling of the cuvette.
- Apply light pressure towards the fingertip (but not past the first knuckle) until a blood drop appears. Wipe away the first 3 drops and make sure there is a free blood flow before filling the cuvette with the fourth drop.
- Be sure to have a sufficient sized blood drop to fill the cuvette. Fill the cuvette completely by touching the corner of the cuvette to the blood drop Do not refill the cuvette. If a cuvette cannot be filled in one continuous process, or if the cuvette contains air bubbles, discard the cuvette and use a new one, repeating steps 4 and 5.
- Gently wipe off the excess blood on the outside of the cuvette with a gauze pad. Be sure to gently wipe both sides. Do not wipe too close to the open end as this can draw blood out of the cuvette.
REPEAT TESTING
- Be careful to apply the procedure described in step 1-6 correctly when collecting capillary blood for hemoglobin measurements.
- The most common causes for erroneous results are the choice of an unsuitable size or type of lancet, incorrect capillary sampling technique, restricted capillary blood flow, or the presence of tissue fluid in the sample after pressing the fingertip too hard.
- These factors commonly affect the result. Confirmation of an unexpected or unacceptable result can exclude sampling mistakes as the cause. As the Consult® Hemoglobin testing method is very fast, this confirmatory test can preferably be done using the same incision. Further drops following the 4th drop may be used for testing as long as there is still a free flow of blood.
- If the blood flow has decreased or stopped, another incision should be made for the confirming sample. Repeat the procedure described in steps 1-6 and record all results from repeated sampling, including relevant information about the reason for retesting.
VENOUS SAMPLING
If a venous sample cannot be run immediately, it may be refrigerated up to 72
hours. If the blood is refrigerated, then the blood should be allowed to reach
room temperature before testing. K2EDTA or lithium heparin tubes may be used.
With gloved hands, take a Consult® Hemoglobin Cuvette out of the foil bag and
close the bag.
- Make sure the sample is at room temperature before testing. Mix the tube by gentle inversion at least 8 times.
- Place a drop of blood on to a hydrophobic surface (e.g. Parafilm) using a commercially available transfer pipette or DIFF-SAFE® Blood Dispenser.
- Fill the cuvette completely by touching the corner of the cuvette to the blood drop. Do not refill the cuvette. If a cuvette cannot be filled in one continuous process, or if the cuvette contains air bubbles, discard the cuvette and use a new one, repeating steps 2 and 3.
- Gently wipe off the excess blood on the outside of the cuvette with a gauze pad. Be sure to gently wipe both sides. Do not wipe too close to the open end as this can draw blood out of the cuvette.
CONTROL SAMPLING
- The Consult® Hemoglobin Testing System can be verified by use of Consult® Hemoglobin Control Solution. If stored refrigerated, allow the control solution to reach room temperature first. With gloved hands, take a Consult® Hemoglobin Cuvette out of the foil bag and close the bag. Mix the control solution by gentle inversion 5 times immediately before sampling. Open the vial and discard the first drop.
- Dispense a second drop of the control solution on to a hydrophobic surface (e.g. Parafilm). Fill the cuvette completely by touching the corner of the cuvette to the drop. Do not refill the cuvette. If a cuvette cannot be filled in one continuous process, or if the cuvette contains air bubbles, discard the cuvette and use a new one with a new drop of control solution.
- Gently wipe off the excess control solution on the outside of the cuvette with a gauze pad. Be sure to gently wipe both sides. Do not wipe too close to the open end as this can draw control solution out of the cuvette.
- Wipe any excess material from the vial tip and cap with a clean tissue and recap the vial tightly, immediately.
MEASURING
- Insert the filled cuvette in the cuvette holder.
- Press down gently until you feel a “click” and hold in position until the result appears on the screen. Pull the cuvette out of the Consult® Hemoglobin quickly.
- Dispose of the used cuvette in a container for potentially infectious waste. Record the test result as soon as the checkmark is shown.
- The result will remain on the display until replaced by the next measurement. To erase the latest result, press down on the empty cuvette holder.
Use only completely filled cuvettes for measuring. A filled cuvette should be
analyzed within 1 minute after filling. A filled cuvette should be kept in a
horizontal position until measurement.
If the Consult® Hemoglobin analyzer has been out of use for a couple of hours,
an error code may appear after the first measurement. Remove the filled
cuvette, make a “blank” measurement by pressing down the empty cuvette holder
and then reinsert the filled cuvette for measurement.
