The BioDiagnostic Intl LIQUI-HEME Glycohemoglobin A1c Test kit is an In Vitro Diagnostic reagent for the quantitative determination of Glycohemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in human whole blood. The method is an immunological assay. Both the HbA1c and the total hemoglobin are measured. Concentration of HbA1c is calculated as a percentage of the total hemoglobin concentration. Measurements of percentage HbA1c are effective in monitoring long term glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus. This application has been validated for the Hitachi instrument of clinical chemistry and is intended for use by suitably qualified personnel under appropriate clinical laboratory conditions. Further, this test kit also includes a set of six calibrators and bilevel (Human) Low and High controls, which are optional.
Device Story
LIQUI-HEME Glycohemoglobin A1c Assay is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit; utilizes immunological assay principle to measure HbA1c and total hemoglobin in human whole blood; calculates HbA1c as percentage of total hemoglobin. Used in clinical laboratory settings on Hitachi clinical chemistry instruments; operated by qualified laboratory personnel. Provides quantitative HbA1c percentage to healthcare providers for monitoring long-term glucose control in diabetic patients. Includes optional calibrators and bilevel human-derived controls.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Immunoturbidimetric assay. Reagents: porcine pepsin, alkaline detergents, polyclonal goat anti-HbA1c antibodies on latex particles, HbA1c agglutination reagent. Energy source: optical absorbance measurement at 600nm. Platform: Hitachi 911 clinical chemistry analyzer. Includes human-derived calibrators and controls.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of HbA1c in human whole blood to monitor long-term glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus. For use by qualified personnel in clinical laboratory settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A glycosylated hemoglobin assay is a device used to measure the glycosylated hemoglobins (A1a , A1b , and A1c ) in a patient's blood by a column chromatographic procedure. Measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin is used to assess the level of control of a patient's diabetes and to determine the proper insulin dosage for a patient. Elevated levels of glycosylated hemoglobin indicate uncontrolled diabetes in a patient.

Dear Dr. Anand:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
