HemoCue® White Blood Cell Count (WBC) System
Point-of-Care confidence
When a patient presents with a suspected infection or acute nonspecific fever, every minute can make a difference. The HemoCue® WBC System provides quantitative analysis of total white blood cell counts in about three minutes—delivering clear, clinical results so you can deliver appropriate care to your patients right away.
More efficient evaluation and treatment
In combination with a careful clinical assessment, this simple Point-of-Care test during the patient consultation provides critical information to support clinical decision-making and more effective treatment.1,2
Target antibiotic treatment to patients most likely to benefit from it
Use of WBC counts significantly decreased the amount of antibiotics prescribed in a study of more than 700 children with upper respiratory infections and nonspecific febrile illness. Approximately half of the children presented with symptoms that would typically suggest the need for antibiotic treatment: temperature above 101°F and appearance of illness.
Approximately 96% of the children had a WBC count of less than 15,000/mm3, and therefore did not require antibiotics. The remaining 4 percent of patients with a WBC count higher than 15,000/mm3 needed and were prescribed antibiotics. This approach resulted in infrequent return visits during the two-week period that followed, and no child with a significant bacterial infection was missed.2
