Intended Use
The ADVIA® Chemistry Enzymatic Hemoglobin A1c (A1c E) assay is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of mmol/mol HbA1c (IFCC) and % HbA1c (DCCT/NGSP) in human anticoagulated venous whole blood and hemolysate for use on the ADVIA® Chemistry systems. Measurement of Hemoglobin A1c is used as an aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of long-term blood glucose control in patients with diabetes mellitus, and as an aid in the identification of patients at risk for developing diabetes mellitus.
Device Story
Enzymatic assay for quantitative HbA1c measurement on ADVIA Chemistry 1800 systems; utilizes venous whole blood or hemolysate. Procedure involves two-step enzymatic reaction: 1) Protease cleaves N-terminal fructosyl dipeptides from hemoglobin beta-chain; 2) Fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX) generates hydrogen peroxide, reacting with chromogen for colorimetric measurement at 658/805 nm. Total hemoglobin measured at 478/805 nm; turbidity normalization at 884 nm. Used in clinical laboratories by technicians. Results aid clinicians in assessing long-term glycemic control and diabetes risk. Not for use in patients with specific hemoglobin variants or conditions affecting erythrocyte lifespan.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP05-A3 (n=720 results/sample). Linearity per CLSI EP06-A (range 3.8-14.0% HbA1c). Method comparison (n=163) against Tosoh G8 HPLC showed R²=0.99-1.00. Interference testing per CLSI EP07-A2 confirmed no significant interference from common endogenous/exogenous substances, though significant interference exists with HbF.
Technological Characteristics
Quantitative enzymatic assay; liquid, ready-to-use reagents (R1, R2, Pretreatment). Compatible with ADVIA Chemistry systems (e.g., ADVIA 1800). Supports automated on-system lysis or manual hemolysate preparation. Standardized to IFCC reference calibrators; NGSP certified. Measures HbA1c in human anticoagulated venous whole blood (EDTA, Lithium Heparin, Sodium Fluoride/Disodium EDTA).
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative determination of HbA1c in human anticoagulated venous whole blood/hemolysate to aid in diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes mellitus and identification of patients at risk for diabetes. Contraindicated for patients with abnormal fetal hemoglobin (HbF), hemoglobinopathies (except sickle cell trait), abnormal red blood cell turnover (hemolysis, iron deficiency), malignancies, or severe chronic hepatic/renal disease. Not for use in diagnosing diabetes during pregnancy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hemoglobin A1c test system is a device used to measure the percentage concentration of hemoglobin A1c in blood. Measurement of hemoglobin A1c is used as an aid in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and as an aid in the identification of patients at risk for developing diabetes mellitus.

#### 4. Device Description
The ADVIA® Chemistry Enzymatic Hemoglobin A1c (A1c_E) assay measures hemoglobin A1c in human anticoagulated whole blood and hemolysate. The assay consists of three reagents (R1, R2, and Pretreatment). These reagents are liquid and are ready to use. The assay offers both an automated and a manual application. The automated application (A1c_E) lyses the anticoagulated whole blood specimen on the system for the automated application (A1c_E). Samples may also be lysed manually using the ADVIA® Chemistry A1c_E pretreatment solution to obtain hemolysate for the manual application (A1c EM). The two applications yield the same results.

### (b) Non-Clinical Performance Evaluation
#### (i) Method Comparison
Method comparison testing was performed in accordance with CLSI EP09-A3, Measurement Procedure Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples; Approved Guideline – Third Edition.
One hundred sixty-three (163) human whole blood samples with values spanning the assay range were tested on the ADVIA® 1800 Clinical Chemistry System. Testing was performed in both automated (A1c E) and manual (A1c EM) modes.
Results on the ADVIA® 1800 were compared to results from NGSP reference method testing performed at an NGSP primary reference laboratory. Sample distribution is shown in Tables A and B. Slope and Y-intercept results were generated with both Passing-Bablok regression and Deming analysis. Correlation (r) values are Pearson correlation coefficients. Results are presented in Tables C, D, E, and F.

### (ii) Precision
#### Precision testing was performed in accordance with CLSI EP05-A3, Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods: Approved Guideline – Third Edition.
Samples consisted of two (2) commercial quality controls and four whole blood patient pools with target values of 5.0% HbA1c, 8.0% HbA1c, 8.0% HbA1c, and 12.0% HbA1c. Whole blood pools were aliquoted and frozen prior to the start of the study. Each testing day, whole blood pool aliquots were thawed. QC materials were handled according to manufacturer's instructions.
Testing was performed over twenty (20) days, two (2) runs per day (with a minimum of 2 hours in between), a single test from two (2) independent cups were analyzed for each test material. Testing was performed using three (3) reagent lots and three (3) ADVIA® 1800 instruments for a total of nine (9) sets of data. Testing was performed in both automatic and manual modes. Two calibrations were performed over the duration of the study. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), consistent with the recommendations of CLSI EP05-A3. Results are presented in Tables I, J, K, and L.

### (viii) Linearity
Linearity testing was conducted CLSI EP06-A, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach; Approved Guideline.
A dilution series consisting of eleven (11) levels across the assay range were prepared by mixing high HbA1c and low HbA1c whole blood pools. The high pools were prepared by spiking whole blood with HbA1c. The low pools were prepared by mixing whole blood with cord blood. The expected value for each level was calculated from the measurand concentrations and volumes of the low and high samples. Three replicates were tested at each level. Samples ranged from 2.77 to 14.60% HbA1c.
No deviations from linearity were observed for results from 2.77 to 14.60% HbA1c. The regression analysis equation is Observed %HbA1c = 1.0088 x Expected %HbA1c = 0.1110 with an R2 of 0.9998.
### (ix) Limit of Blank (LoB) and Limit of Detection (LoD)
