Description

The HbA1c Analyzer is an advanced and compact device specifically designed to measure glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in whole blood samples. This equipment provides fast and accurate results in just a few minutes, which is essential for effective diabetes control. With a simple interface and portable design, this analyzer is ideal for various clinical settings, from hospitals to private practices. Additionally, it features data storage and connectivity functions for hospital information systems (HIS/LIS), significantly improving patient result management.

Its technical specifications include the YR05129 model, which allows testing of HbA1c and eAG parameters with a sample volume of just 10μL and a test time of 3-4 minutes. The HbA1c measurement range is 4.0% to 15.0%, with a coefficient of variation (CV) of less than 5%. The device can store up to 10,000 samples and maintain 12 months of quality control, also offering protection against power failures. Its compact design (205mm x 130mm x 70mm, 1kg) and connectivity options (RS-232, HIS/LIS) make this analyzer an indispensable tool in diabetes diagnosis and control.
