POC Waived Hemoglobin options

What is everyone using for waived POC Hemoglobin? We have a clinic office that currently is using the Hemocue 801 for hemoglobin testing and is reporting discrepant results. They did a POC hgb at the office with the Hemocue 801 and got an 8.6 hgb result, so they collected a venous sample and sent it to our main lab and got an 11.6 hgb result. The office does use capillary samples for the testing and I have gone over the process with them and they ensure it is being performed correctly. With that being said, just seeing if there are other options out there that would potentially provide less variability in results or that may correlate better with laboratory hemoglobin results. If you would prefer you can email me at aholland@catawbavalleymc.org.
Thanks!
Thanks!

We have run into issues with the 2025 CLIA changes with our proficiency site that we use having tightened their ranges from +/- 7% to +/- 4%. This change has lead to numerous failures with this matter.
