Last update and review: November 9, 2020.
We are looking for complete blood count (CBC) analyzers for capillary blood to recommend to medical practitioners, and, in some cases, to our consulting clients and community.
Our medical consultancy believes that complete blood count (CBC) is a powerful diagnostic tool, both in the context of infectious diseases, including COVID-19, and for routine monitoring of biomarkers..
We would like to recommend to our partner medical practitioners and, in some cases, to our consulting clients, a complete blood count (CBC) analyzer for capillary blood.
If you are a manufactures or distributor of complete blood count (CBC) analyzer for capillary blood, please get in contact with us and submit to us the information on your device, including technical documentation, certificats, tests, published studies if any.
After a review, we may feature your complete blood count (CBC) analyzer for capillary blood on this and other pages of our site in the list of our recommended devices.
Can capillary blood be used to reliably assess complete blood count? The letter by Chavan et al., 2016 (1), suggests that it can.
There are CBC analyzers for capillary blood that are available. Are they reliable?
From a discussion on the Internet:
… (a capillary blood device manufacturer) has not yet published peer reviewed results of any of its clinical trials for its device…
But the companiy representative says the results of its most recent clinical trial are “currently in preparation” for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
The next step is to identify devices that can measure complete blood count parameters by using capillary blood from a finger prick. – The New Neander’s Medical. Image source: Internet search engines.
