DIFFERENTIAL WBC ANALYZER (Hemocue WBC Diff)
Definition
An electrically powered device for near patients quantitative determination of white blood cells (WBC) in capillary or venous whole blood.
The machine gives the number of white blood cells and the 5-parameter formula (polynuclear: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes and monocytes).

Precautions for Use
- Operating temperature: Venous/capillary sample in EDTA tube: 18 to 30°C, <90% non-condensing humidity
- Capillary sample from fingerstick: 18 to 25°C, <90% non-condensing humidity.
- The HemoCue WBC DIFF system is indicated for use in clinical laboratories and near patient testing in professional health care settings on pediatric (> 3 months) and adult patients.
- The rechargeable batteries need to be charged in the external charger. The transformer doesn't charge the batteries when they are inside the equipment.
Storage
Storage at 4 to 50°C and humidity up to 90% non condensing humidity for maximum 4 weeks
