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

Blood Loss Estimation during Laparoscopic Myomectomy Using HemoCue
Journal of Nippon Medical School, 2005 During laparoscopic myomectomy, it is difficult to determine the actual blood loss volume because physiological saline is used for lavaging to detect the bleeding point or to ensure no active bleeding site. We attempted to estimate blood loss by measuring the waste irrigation fluid's hemoglobin (Hb) concentration using HemoCue (HemoCue, Angelholm ...
