The haemoglobin level of prospective blood donors is usually performed on blood obtained by from the finger pulp by fingerstick with a lancet and filling a capillary tube with a sample. New noninvasive methods are now available for rapid, noninvasive predonation haemoglobin screening.

Comparison of three noninvasive methods for hemoglobin screening of blood donors
TLDR
Evaluated for the first time all different noninvasive methods for Hb screening of blood donors before donation to prevent phlebotomy of anemic individuals.
The impact of noninvasive, capillary, and venous hemoglobin screening on donor deferrals and the hemoglobin content of red blood cells concentrates: a prospective study
TLDR
A noninvasive, a capillary, and a venous method for Hb screening of blood donors is compared.
Evaluation of two‐step haemoglobin screening with HemoCue for blood donor qualification in mobile collection sites
TLDR
The benefit of double haemoglobin screening with HemoCue was evaluated and the results confirmed the need for further studies to evaluate the accuracy and safety of this method.
Hemoglobin screening in blood donors: a prospective study assessing the value of an invasive and a noninvasive point‐of‐care device for donor safety
TLDR
The development of accurate tools to reliably detect low Hb levels is important for donor safety and retention.
Hemoglobin assessment: precision and practicability evaluated in the Netherlands—the HAPPEN study
TLDR
This study assessed the precision and practicability of noninvasive devices and compared them with measurements in capillary and venous samples.
The change of haemoglobin during blood donation, and an assessment of a photometrical method for non-invasive haemoglobin analysis
TLDR
The two aims of this study were to examine how much the haemoglobin levels change during blood donation and to examine if the photometrical instrument Pronto-7TM shows equivalent results to that of the established method Cell-Dyn Sapphire.
Evaluation of new non-invasive & conventional invasive methods of haemoglobin estimation in blood donors
TLDR
The non- invasive modality may provide the near-ideal pre-donation Hb screening platform if an improvement can be done in the sensitivity and PPV of the non-invasive method keeping in view its unique advantages.
Evaluation of various methods of point-of-care testing of haemoglobin concentration in blood donors.
TLDR
DiaSpect hemoglobin T system was found to be the most sensitive method of POCT for Hb and fast and accurate, with its results showing perfect agreement with those of the standard method, aptly suited for screening donors in blood banks.
Point of care hemoglobin testing in plateletpheresis donors: Noninvasive versus invasive methods.
A Comparative Study of Three Non-invasive Systems for Measurement of Hemoglobin with HemoCue System Having Coulter LH750 as Reference Value
TLDR
Blood and blood components are essential for treatment, support of patients and surgeries and one of the requirements for blood donation is the measurement of Hemoglobin or/and Hematocrit in the donor, in order to avoid such risk and protect their health.

A noninvasive strategy for screening prospective blood donors for anemia
TLDR
A noninvasive alternative with acceptable predictive values was established and evaluated, and the reliability of capillary hemoglobin as an indicator for eligibility to donate blood is discussed controversially.
Use of capillary blood count parameters in adults
TLDR
This study compares capillary and venous blood counts to verify the hypothesis that they are equivalent, and shows that capillary samples can provide blood for cell counts in haematologic patients and blood donors.

Improved strategy for screening prospective blood donors for anaemia
SUMMARY. Women (568) and men (531) attending blood donation sessions in Wessex in September, 1992, were assessed for anaemia by the standard CuSO4 method on finger‐prick (FP) blood samples. The…
The difference between fingerstick and venous hemoglobin and hematocrit varies by sex and iron stores
TLDR
Fingerstick blood samples are used to estimate donor venous hemoglobin (Hb) using a probabilistic approach and show clear trends in prognosis and disease progression over time.

Capillary and venous haemoglobin levels in blood donors: a 42‐month study of 36 258 paired samples
TLDR
This work examined whether a capillary haemoglobin level of 12·0 g/dl for women or 13· 0“g/DL for men, is equivalent to a venous haemochemistry level of ≥ 12·5 G/dl and ≥“13·5µm/dl, respectively, to avoid unnecessary loss of blood donations.

Evaluation of methods and protocols for hemoglobin screening of prospective whole blood donors.
TLDR
The ability of the investigated methods to correctly classify donors is poor and varies considerably with method and protocol, and standardization may be better achieved by specifying both required hemoglobin and minimum performance for screening methods.
