Intended use:
The Cypress Diagnostics kit Hemoglobin is an in vitro diagnostic medical device intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of hemoglobin in human capillary or venous blood. The device is not automated. The measurement of hemoglobin is intended to be used to aid to identify anemia (it can be caused by primary anemia, pregnancy, renal diseases, and hemorrhages) or high levels of hemoglobin (it can be caused by cardiopathies, dehydratation and stays in places of high altitude), in patient risk population. This kit is intended to be used by healthcare professionals in a laboratory-based testing environment.
