Evaluation of APEL digital hemoglobin meter (HG-202)‎ for the measurement of blood hemoglobin level

Abstract EN

-This study was carried out on thirty normal subjects in order to evaluate (Apel Hemoglobin meter HG-202) for the estimation of blood hemoglobin level.

Two processes where used for evaluation, the first is the systematic error to determine the accuracy of the device by comparison with the standard device (the Sahli's) and the second process is to test the random error or reproducibility of Apel.

The results of this study indicate that values of Hb measured by Apel HG-202 were slightly higher than that measured by Sahli's method (p<0.005) And the result of random error test indicate that the Apel HG-202is reproducible device which is proved by using the statistical equation (2SD/mean x100%) to determine 95% tolerance limit of the device which indicate that the device is greatly reproducible.
