HemoCue®WBC DIFF system
Thank you for choosing the HemoCue®WBC DIFF system.
The HemoCue WBC DIFF system is an In-Vitro diagnostic system designed for quantitative
determination of white blood cells (WBC) in capillary or venous whole blood. The system
provides values for a total white blood cell count and a differential white blood cell count in-
cluding neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, eosinophil count and basophil
count.
The HemoCue WBC DIFF system is indicated for use in clinical laboratories and for point of
care testing in professional health care settings on pediatric (≥ 3 months) and adult patients.
The HemoCue WBC DIFF Analyzer is only to be used with HemoCue WBC DIFF Microcu-
vettes for measurement of a total white blood cell count and a differential white blood cell
count or with HemoCue WBC Microcuvettes for measurement of a total white blood cell
count only.
All system components are designed and manufactured to provide maximum safety.
Any other use of the system than indicated may impair the safety.
