Q. What exactly is in the hemometer box?

Answer

The concentration of hemoglobin in the blood may be measured with a haemometer (sometimes called a hemoglobinometer). Autoanalyzers often report hemoglobin levels of 10.19, whereas digital hemoglobinometers box typically read 9.89. Overall, the digital hemoglobinometer was shown to have a sensitivity of 89.4% for hemoglobin estimate and a specificity of 63.6%. When compared to autoanalyzer, we obtained a positive predictive value of 82.6% and a negative predictive value of 75.8%. (gold standard). Since the digital hemometer box has excellent sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy, it is essential that it be employed for hemoglobin estimation at the community level in resource-limited settings.
