Point-of-care hemoglobin analyzer for fast delivery of blood test now available
Henry Schein Medical has a new private label-branded product, OneStep™ + Pro Hb Analyzer, a portable, reagent-free hemoglobin analyzer, which measures hemoglobin concentration as a result of a fingerstick blood test. The device quickly determines low or high levels of hemoglobin, making it possible for practitioners to determine why a patient may be fatigued or not feeling well.
The product comes at a time when facilities are eager to find tools to rapidly diagnose and treat patients for a variety of diseases and infections without having to wait so long on traditional lab services.
“With the addition of OneStep + Pro Hb Analyzer, customers at physicians’ offices, clinics and other non-traditional laboratory locations can deliver quick and convenient tests thanks to a premier analyzer with reliable, laboratory-quality performance,” said Brad Connett, President, U.S. Medical Group, Henry Schein.

Also, as more health systems integrate outpatient facilities into their care delivery models, providing these and other POC diagnostic solutions may be a helpful and useful way to standardize and reduce SKUs for pharmacy and lab across the continuum.
The OneStep + Pro Hb Analyzer provides clinicians at physician office Labs, family/internal medicine clinics, OB/GYN centers, pediatric clinics, planned Parenthoods, community health centers and urgent care facilities with accurate hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements within three seconds of collecting a blood sample in a cuvette - a straight-sided, optically clear container for holding liquid samples - and inserting into the analyzer. This helps ensure fast results for patient health checks and anemia screening at the point-of-care setting.
