DiaSpect Tm User Manual
DiaSpect Tm has not been evaluated for capillary samples with hemoglobin values
below 8.5 g/dL as such samples are very rarely seen in the primary care setting.
It is recommended that patients showing a capillary hemoglobin of less than 8.5
g/dL are referred to a confirmatory laboratory test.
c) Accuracy, Blood Donation Centers
A method comparison of 150 capillary and 147 venous samples was conducted at
two blood bank settings, giving the following results:

The bias of the DiaSpect Tm at the hemoglobin deferral levels for male and female
donors was calculated from the regression curves using the Hb 301 as the
reference method.
