A representative of HemoCue AB responds [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2000
It is well known that increased concentrations of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) will lead to overestimation of hemoglobin concentrations as measured photometrically at a single wavelength (1). In the study above, at COHb concentrations of 60–90%, the HemoCue instrument read
