What Does the HemoCue Glucose 201 System Test for?

The HemoCue® Glucose 201 System is specifically designed to measure blood glucose levels with precision and accuracy, making it an essential tool for various clinical applications:

Diabetes Diagnosis and Management

The system provides critical data for diagnosing diabetes, allowing healthcare professionals to monitor and manage glucose levels in patients with diabetes effectively.

Screening for Prediabetes

The analyzer helps identify individuals at risk for diabetes by detecting elevated blood glucose levels, enabling early intervention and prevention strategies.

Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests (OGTT)

The HemoCue® Glucose 201 System is CLIA-waived for conducting Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests (OGTT) in-office, a key diagnostic tool for assessing how a patient’s body processes glucose.

General Health Monitoring

In addition to its use in diabetes care, the system is valuable for monitoring glucose levels in patients as part of routine health checks or when there are concerns about blood sugar levels due to other medical conditions.

Easy Three Step Process

The HemoCue® Glucose 201 System is designed with simplicity in mind, allowing healthcare professionals to obtain precise glucose measurements quickly and efficiently. Here’s how it works:

1. Collect the Sample
   Begin by taking a small blood sample using a fingerstick. The system’s microcuvettes are designed to draw the correct amount of blood automatically, ensuring accurate results every time.
2. Insert the Microcuvette
   Once the blood sample is collected, insert the microcuvette into the HemoCue® Glucose 201 analyzer. The analyzer reads the sample and begins processing the data immediately.
3. Get Results
   In just a few moments, the analyzer provides lab-quality glucose results that you can rely on to make informed clinical decisions. The process is quick, easy, and minimizes the time patients spend waiting.
