Yes, the device is medical grade and complies with EU standards of health and safety. All data is protected under GDPR regulations, which are more stringent than US standards.

The current version of the software displays RBC count, change in Haemoglobin mass, change in Haematocrit, change in Plasma volume and change in reticulocyte count. The device also measures blood volume, hemoglobin change, RDW-SD, MCV and erythrocyte volume. These parameters can be displayed upon request.

Our device prioritizes precision over accuracy at this stage. Precision refers to consistency of measurements (similar results when testing the same sample repeatedly), while accuracy refers to how close the measurement is to the "true" value. For training purposes, tracking relative changes from an individual's baseline over time is more valuable than comparing to clinical norms. This allows coaches to see adaptations and make informed decisions regardless of absolute values.
We can change the output to display actual parameters upon request. It will take 3 weeks to update the system.

Our current device doesn't directly measure HIF-1α, though it does measure hematocrit. We're actively researching methods to incorporate HIF-1α testing in our next generation device, expected within 12-18 months.
