The discordance observed was investigated by comparison to a laboratory
reference method. In a separate study, 100 capillary and 100 venous samples
were tested with the DiaSpect Tm, the HemoCue Hb 301 and the Sysmex XP-300.
The DiaSpect Tm was found to be substantially equivalent to the Sysmex XP-300
(calibrated to the hemiglobincyanide method, HiCN), while the HemoCue Hb 301
consistently provided results that were higher by approximately 0.6 g/dL. These
results are summarized below.
The bias of the DiaSpect Tm at donor eligibility cutoffs was calculated from the
regression curves using the Sysmex XP-300 as the reference method.

The positive bias of the Hb 301 at donor eligibility cutoffs was calculated using
the Sysmex XP-300 as the reference method. The positive bias of the Hb 301 is
consistent with its higher acceptance rate of donors near the eligibility cutoff, and
is supported by the literature.
