Intended Use

This in vitro diagnostic method is intended to quantitatively measure Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and Total Hemoglobin (Thb) in human blood on the Technicon RA family/opeRA instrument systems. Measurements obtained through this procedure can be used for monitoring the long-term care of persons with diabetes.

Device Story

In vitro diagnostic assay for Technicon RA/opeRA instrument systems; measures HbA1c and Total Hemoglobin in human blood samples. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Provides quantitative results to clinicians for monitoring long-term glycemic control in diabetic patients. System utilizes automated photometric analysis to determine hemoglobin concentrations; results assist in clinical decision-making regarding diabetes management.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparison study (n=154) against Ames DCA 2000 showed correlation r=0.99, y=1.09x-0.39. Precision studies demonstrated total CV% between 2.0% and 3.1% across HbA1c ranges of 5.7-11.6%. Total Hemoglobin performance compared to NCCLS reference method (n=50) showed r=0.988.

Technological Characteristics

In vitro diagnostic assay reagents for use on Technicon RA/opeRA automated photometric instrument systems. Analytical range: HbA1c 2.5-18%, Total Hemoglobin 7-23 g/dL.

Indications for Use

Indicated for quantitative measurement of HbA1c and Total Hemoglobin in human blood for monitoring long-term care of patients with diabetes.

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.

Predicate Devices

• Ames DCA 2000 Hemoglobin method

# SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

## Hemoglobin A1c (%)

Listed below is a comparison of the performance between the Technicon RA®/opeRA™ Systems Hemoglobin A1c/Total Hemoglobin assays and the similar device assay system that was granted FDA clearance of substantial equivalence (Ames DCA 2000® Hemoglobin method). The information provided in this summary was extracted from the Technicon RA®/opeRA™ Systems Hemoglobin A1c/Total Hemoglobin method sheet and the Ames DCA 2000® Hemoglobin A1c method sheet (Attachments 1 & 2).

## INTENDED USE

This *in vitro* diagnostic method is intended to quantitatively measure Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and Total Hemoglobin (Thb) in human blood on the Technicon RA family/opeRA instrument systems. Measurements obtained through this procedure can be used for monitoring the long-term care of persons with diabetes.
