- HOMEDSUN HSBHM-102 Home Care Portable Blood Hemoglobin Analyzer Anemia Hb Test Check Kit Handheld Finger Prick Meter Easy To Use Quick Results With 25Pcs Strips Lancets Droppers

This Home Care Portable Blood Hemoglobin Analyzer works well and does what it’s supposed to do. The readings seem accurate and it’s very helpful for checking your hemoglobin levels between doctor visits, especially if you like to keep an eye on your health at home. The only downside is the suction tool that’s required to place the blood on the test strip. It doesn’t work very well and can be a little frustrating to use. Once you get past that part, though, the device itself functions properly. Overall, it’s a good at-home option for monitoring your hemoglobin levels and provides peace of mind between appointments.

Purchased to check hemoglobin levels between blood tests since I am anemic and getting iron infusions. Works well and easy to use once you watch the video on Amazon. Seems to be good quality but only been using for a few weeks. Good value in my opinion.

It works but it’s not easy. The suction tool required to put the blood on the test strip doesn’t work very well. It is not easy to use. However I love having the ability to monitor my iron at home. It conforms with my readings at the doctors office.

Perfect for at home hemoglobin testing. My 94-year-old grandmother’s hemoglobin dropped from 11 to 6 in days due to a GI bleed. She had a blood transfusion and levels went up to 10 and back down 0.1. She was stable and discharged and needed to be tested by end of week (1-2 days). With me working, her living an hour away, and the lab no available appointments until the following week, I needed an alternative solution. Amazon next day delivery of this machine gave me the reassurance I needed to know my grandmothers level stabilized and that she would be okay over the weekend! Like others a strip was wasted but overall well worth the money!

It took me like 10 tries to get a reading, and the testing strips are soo expensive to let them go to waste

Well, I wanted this to work. I have used similar tests for blood glucose with great success after learning how to do the test. This one is similar, but a bit more complicated. The pipets supplied don't seem to work well, and it takes many tries to get the right amount of blood. Getting it from the pipet to the sample strip is even more problematic. This should be easy, but it's not. And the test seems to be very sensitive to having the right amount of blood in order to be accurate. When I finally got a good sample and test, the result is HCT of 39%. This compares to a blood test at Labcorp that showed 53.7% and a follow up a few days later at Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center that showed 50% (on a similar but professional grade machine). So there's really no way that in a few days my HCT dropped from ~50% to 39%. I will try again a few more times over the next several days to see if I can get a result that looks even remotely close to reality, but I'm thinking this was a wasted purchase. Also, the device used to stick your finger is kind of terrible. Even at the highest depth setting it seems to have issues breaking the skin sufficiently to get enough sample. On my next tries, I will use the finger stick that came with my glucose test kit - no issues getting enough blood with that one. One other note on the test strips. From the time you open the bottle, you only have 3 months to use the test strips before the bottle of them expires. This isn't very long, and you will need to buy new test strips. So this kit is really on useful if you need to check your HCT or Hemoglobin daily. If you intend to check only every couple of weeks, the test strips will expire after only ~9 tests. Bottom line - expensive and complicated to use and the test results don't seem to be accurate. :(

This device just ok, hemoglobin numbers was accurate when I went for check up at my PCP comes with only 25 lancets and little tube to soak up the blood and apply to the strip which I don’t like because if you don’t do it correctly you can go through the strips very quickly. This machine is accurate when it comes to checking your hemoglobin levels. I went for a blood lab test and my numbers matched the machine so that’s good, now the strip and tube part is a bad design to me and not user friendly and can waste strips if you don’t do it correctly. It should be at 100 strips not only 25. I see on their site they have only 40 strips for $50. I’m dissatisfied with product when it comes to the amount strips and the tube to soak up the blood to apply on strips.

Excellent exact with the picture easy use
