Intended Use

The Hemoglobin A₁c assay is used in clinical laboratories for the quantitative in vitro measurement of percent hemoglobin A₁c (NGSP) or HbA₁c fraction mmol/mol (IFCC) in human whole blood and hemolysate on the ARCHITECT c 8000 System. Hemoglobin A₁c measurements are used as an aid in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, as an aid to identify patients who may be at risk for developing diabetes mellitus, and for the monitoring of long-term blood glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus. The Hemoglobin A₁c Calibrators are for use in the calibration of the Hemoglobin A₁c assay on the ARCHITECT c 8000 System. The Hemoglobin A₁c Controls are for the estimation of test precision and the detection of systematic analytical deviations of Hemoglobin A₁c assay on the ARCHITECT c 8000 System.

Device Story

The Hemoglobin A1c assay is an enzymatic in vitro diagnostic test for use on the ARCHITECT c 8000 System. It measures glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and total hemoglobin (THb) concentrations in human whole blood or hemolysate. The system automatically lyses whole blood or uses manual hemolysate preparation. The enzymatic process involves protease cleavage of the N-terminal fructosyl dipeptide of the HbA1c beta-chain, followed by reaction with fructosyl peptide oxidase to produce hydrogen peroxide, which is measured. Total hemoglobin is measured via absorbance after oxidation to methemoglobin azide. The system calculates the %HbA1c or mmol/mol fraction. Results are used by clinicians to diagnose diabetes, identify at-risk individuals, and monitor long-term glycemic control. The device includes calibrators and controls for system calibration and quality control. It is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Precision/reproducibility evaluated over 20 days (n=720 measurements per sample) across 3 analyzers; total CV ≤1.8% for both NGSP and IFCC units. Linearity confirmed across 4.0–14.0% HbA1c range (r²=0.999). Method comparison (n=128) against FDA-cleared HPLC method showed strong correlation (Deming slope 0.99–1.01). Interference studies confirmed no significant bias for common drugs/metabolites, but identified significant negative bias with HbF >5%.

Technological Characteristics

Enzymatic assay; reagents include protease (bacterial) and fructosyl-peptide-oxidase (E. coli, recombinant). Analyzed on ARCHITECT c 8000 clinical chemistry analyzer. Calibrators/controls are lyophilized human whole blood matrix. Standardization traceable to IFCC reference method. Connectivity: standalone clinical chemistry analyzer. Sterilization: N/A (reagents).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in clinical laboratories for quantitative measurement of HbA1c in human whole blood and hemolysate to aid in diabetes diagnosis, identification of at-risk patients, and monitoring long-term blood glucose control. Contraindicated for patients with abnormal amounts of fetal hemoglobin (HbF), including Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin.

# Principles of the Procedure

The Hemoglobin A1c assay consists of two separate concentration measurements: glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and total hemoglobin (THb). The two concentrations are used to determine the percent HbA1c (NGSP units) or the hemoglobin fraction in mmol/mol (IFCC units).

The individual concentration values of HbA1c and THb generated by the Hemoglobin A1c assay are used only for calculating the percent hemoglobin A1c or HbA fraction, and must not be used individually for diagnostic purposes.

The anticoagulated whole blood specimen is lysed automatically on the system for the Whole Blood application or may be lysed manually using the Hemoglobin A ي Diluent (AlcDIL) for the Hemolysate application.

{4}------------------------------------------------

# Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)

The Hemoglobin A1c assay utilizes an enzymatic method that specifically measures

N-terminal fructosyl dipeptides of the $\beta$-chain of HbA1c.

- . In the pretreatment process, the erythrocytes are lysed and the hemoglobin is transformed to methemoglobin by reaction with sodium nitrite.
- . With the addition of Reagent 1 (RI) to the sample, the glycosylated N-terminal dipeptide (fructosyl-VH) of the ß-chain of hemoglobin is cleaved by the action of protease. The hemoglobin is transformed to stable methemoglobin azide by the action of sodium azide and the concentration of the hemoglobin is determined by measuring absorbance.
- · Addition of Reagent 2 (R2) starts a reaction and fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX) is allowed to react with fructosyl-VH. The HbA1c concentration is measured by determining the resultant hydrogen peroxide.

#### Total Hemoglobin (THb)

The hemoglobin is oxidized to stable methemoglobin azide by the action of sodium nitrite and sodium azide and the concentration of the hemoglobin is determined by measuring absorbance (sample + RI).

#### Hemoglobin A1c Calculations

The final result is expressed as %HbA1c (NGSP) or mmol/mol HbA1c (IFCC) and is automatically calculated by the system from the HbAic/THb ratio as follows:

mmol/mol HbAic IFCC: HbA1c (mmol/mol) = (HbA1c/THb) $\times$ 1000

%HbA1c DCCT/NGSP: HbA1c (%) = IFCC x 0.09148 + 2.152

Methodology: Enzymatic

#### 5. Intended Use of Device

The Hemoglobin A1c assay is used in clinical laboratories for the quantitative in vitro measurement of percent hemoglobin A1c (NGSP) or HbA1c fraction mmol/mol (IFCC) in human whole blood and hemolysate on the ARCHITECT c 8000 System.

| Vitamin E | 8.6 mg/dL |

* The total protein concentration of 22 g/dL includes serum protein as well as hemoglobin.

### Interferences: Hemoglobin Variants

A study was performed based on guidance from the CLSI document EP7-A2.

The samples were tested using 1 lot of Hemoglobin A1c Reagents and Calibrators, 1 lot of Hemoglobin A1c Controls (for the hemolysate application), and 1 lot of commercially available controls (for the whole blood application) on 1 ARCHITECT c 8000 instrument. Interference effects were assessed by comparing the Hemoglobin A1c values to reference/expected values for samples containing potentially interfering hemoglobin variants. The results were reported in both NGSP and IFCC units.

No significant interference was observed for the HbC, HbD, HbE, HbS, and HbA2 variants at the levels summarized in the tables below (NGSP units).

| Hemoglobin Variant | n | Range in % Abnormal<br>Variant | Range in %HbA1c<br>Concentration |
|--------------------|----|--------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| HbC | 21 | 33% - 42% | 5.2 - 9.3 |
| HbD | 20 | 35% - 41% | 5.2 - 10.7 |
| HbE | 20 | 27% - 32% | 5.0 - 10.1 |
| HbS | 20 | 33% - 44% | 5.1 - 9.9 |
| HbA2 | 26 | 4.7% - 8.5% | 4.7 - 13.3 |
| HbF | 19 | 3% - 27.8% | 5.2 - 9.0 |

{12}------------------------------------------------

| Hemoglobin Variant | Relative % Bias from Reference/Expected Concentration | |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|
| | ~ 6.0 %HbA1c | ~ 9.0 %HbA1c |
| HbC | -1.6 | -1.9 |
| HbD | -0.8 | 1.8 |
| HbE | 0.0 | 4.3 |
| HbS | -1.4 | 4.7 |
| HbA2 | -0.6 | -0.5 |
| HbF | Bias exceeds -5% when the amount of HbF in the sample exceeds 5%a | |

4 A negative bias with HbF is directly proportional in magnitude to the % HbF present in the sample. NOTE: The presence of multiple variants in a sample may impact the % bias.

For HbF interference, the device has the following prominent boxed warning:

The Hemoglobin A1c assay has significant interference with the fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Hemoglobin A1c results are invalid for patients with abnormal amounts of HbF, including those with known Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin.

#### Method Comparison and Predicted Bias

To demonstrate the assay effectiveness as an aid in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. to identify patients who may be at risk for developing diabetes mellitus, and for the monitoring of long-term blood glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus, a method comparison study was performed using an NGSP secondary reference laboratory method (Tosoh HPLC analyzer) as the comparator (reference) method.

The study was performed based on guidance from the CLSI document EP9-A2-IR. A minimum of 120 human whole blood specimens were evaluated with the Hemoglobin A1c assay and the reference method.

For the Hemoglobin A1c assay, the specimens were tested internally in replicates of 2 using 2 lots each of Hemoglobin A1c Reagents and Calibrators, 1 lot of Hemoglobin A1c Controls (for the hemolysate application), and 1 lot of commercially available controls (for the whole blood application) on 2 ARCHITECT c 8000 instruments.

The specimens were also tested with an NGSP secondary reference laboratory method in replicates of 2. The specimens were tested over a minimum of 5 days. The results were reported in both NGSP and IFCC units.

#### NGSP:

#### Method Comparison

- For the Hemolysate application, the Deming regression slope was 0.99 and the correlation coefficient (r-value) was 0.995 for samples across the measuring interval when comparing the Hemoglobin A1c to the reference method.
- · For the Whole Blood application, the Deming regression slope was 1.01 and the correlation coefficient (r-value) was 0.995 for samples across the measuring interval when comparing the Hemoglobin A1c to the reference method.

#### Predicted Bias

The predicted bias from the regression ranged from -2.5% to -2.7% for the Hemolysate application and -2.4% to -3.0% for the Whole Blood application.

{17}------------------------------------------------

## ATD Zone

- · For the Hemolysate application, the percentage of observations in the ATD zone was 100.0 (128/128) and the lower limit of the two-sided 95% CI was 97.1%.
- · For the Whole Blood application, the percentage of observations in the ATD zone was 99.2 (127/128) and the lower limit of the two-sided 95% Cl was 95.7%.

## IFCC:

# Method Comparison

- · For the Hemolysate application, the regression slope was 0.98 and the correlation coefficient (r-value) was 0.996 for samples across the measuring interval when comparing the Hemoglobin A1c to the reference method.
- For the Whole Blood application, the regression slope was 0.99 and the correlation coefficient (r-value) was 0.995 for samples across the measuring interval when comparing the Hemoglobin A1c to the reference method.

## Predicted Bias

The predicted bias from the regression ranged from -3.7% to -4.0% for the Hemolysate application and -3.7% to -4.5% for the Whole Blood application.

# ATD Zone

- · For the Hemolysate application, the percentage of observations in the ATD zone was 96.1% (123/128) and the lower limit of the two-sided 95% CI was 91.2%.
- · For the Whole Blood application, the percentage of observations in the ATD zone was 95.3 (122/128) and the lower limit of the two-sided 95% Cl was 90.2%.

# Total Error Near the Cutoff

Using the results of bias estimation (% Bias) in the method comparison study and precision estimates in the reproducibility study, the Total Error (TE) at four %HbAic levels (approximately 5.0%, 6.5%, 8.0%, and 12.0%) was calculated as follows:

$$\% \text{TE} = |\% \text{Bias}| + |\text{.96} \ge \% \text{CV}|$$

{18}------------------------------------------------

The results are presented in the tables below.

| %HbA1c Level | Average % Bias | % CV | % TE |
|--------------|----------------|------|------|
| 5.0 | -3.6 | 0.8 | 5.2 |
| 6.5 | -2.8 | 0.9 | 4.6 |
| 8.0 | -2.4 | 1.0 | 4.4 |
| 12.0 | -1.7 | 1.3 | 4.2 |

% Total Error Summary - Hemolysate (NGSP)

# % Total Error Summary - Whole Blood (NGSP)

| %HbA1c Level | Average % Bias | % CV | % TE |

| 8.0 | -2.3 | 0.7 | 3.7 |
| 12.0 | -1.4 | 1.6 | 4.5 |

# Measuring Interval

The measuring interval of the Hemoglobin A1c assay is 4.0 to 14.0 %HbA1c (20.22 to 129.51 mmol/mol HbA1c). The limits of the measuring interval were demonstrated through the results of the Within-Laboratory Precision, Tube Type, Linearity, and Method Comparison studies.

{19}------------------------------------------------

# Automated Lyse (Whole Blood Application) versus Manual Lyse Methods (Hemolysate Application)

Whole blood specimens are lysed automatically on the ARCHITECT c 8000 instrument with the Whole Blood application or may be lysed manually using the Hemoglobin A1c Diluent with the Hemolysate application. The performance of the Hemoglobin A1c automated lyse method versus the manual lyse method was evaluated by testing whole blood specimens using both applications (i.e., Whole Blood and Hemolysate) in the Within-Laboratory Precision and the Method Comparison studies. The results from these studies met the study evaluation criteria and therefore demonstrated acceptable automated and manual lyse methods.
