Intended Use
The Precision A1c Home HbA1c Sample Collection Kit is intended to be a home-use or office-use device for the collection of a capillary blood sample on a blood sample collection card for in vitro diagnostic laboratory evaluation of the amount of HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin). This collection device will be used to monitor long-term blood glucose control in patients with diabetes mellitus. The Precision A1c sample collection device will be marketed over-the-counter. This kit is not indicated for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
Device Story
Precision A1c Home HbA1c Sample Collection Kit facilitates capillary blood collection for laboratory HbA1c analysis; kit includes lancet, alcohol pad, gauze, bandage, mailing envelope, and blood collection card with desiccant. User performs finger-stick, applies blood to card, and mails sample to clinical laboratory. Laboratory performs analysis to determine percent HbA1c. Used in home or office settings by patients or healthcare providers. Output provides HbA1c levels to monitor long-term blood glucose control; assists healthcare providers in clinical decision-making regarding diabetes management. Benefits patient by enabling convenient, remote monitoring of glycemic control without requiring immediate venous blood draw at a clinical site.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study compared HbA1c values from capillary blood collected via Precision A1c card vs. venous whole blood control samples. Study involved 258-259 samples across three sites, comparing trained operators and lay users. Results showed high correlation (r=0.989 to 0.996) and low bias (mean absolute % bias 1.76-2.77) between card-collected samples and venous whole blood. Data confirms equivalence of collection method for laboratory analysis.
Technological Characteristics
Kit includes lancet, alcohol pad, gauze, bandage, and filter paper blood collection card with desiccant in a zip-locked foil pouch. Device is a passive collection medium for capillary blood; no energy source or active sensing. Standalone collection kit; no software or connectivity. Sterilization method not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with diabetes mellitus for monitoring long-term blood glucose control via HbA1c levels. Not indicated for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
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.

### Comparison to
Predicate Device: The proposed Precision A1c Home HbA1c Sample Collection Kit has components, technological characteristics, and an intended use equivalent to predicate HbA1c collection devices such as the EZCHEK™/HbA1c (K971919), Accu-Chek™ A1c Hemoglobin Test and the Self-Assure®/GHb (K861697/A) Sample Collection Kits. The use of this kit affects only the sample collection stage of the testing process.
> The HbA1c results obtained from blood samples collected with the Precision A1c Home HbA1c Sample Collection Kit were equivalent to results obtained from whole blood samples analyzed on the Roche Cobas Integra, HbA1c Cassette (K961824), Roche Cobas Mira, Unimate Reagent (K952337/S1) and Bio-Rad Diamat Glycosylated Hemoglobin Analyzer System (K851636).
#### Performance Studies:
Performance studies were conducted on blood samples collected with Precision A1c cards by both lay users and trained operators at three sites. A corresponding venous whole blood sample was also collected from each patient in the study as a control sample to compare whole blood results to those obtained from blood samples collected with the Precision A1c card. Samples from two clinical sites were then mailed to LabOne for determination of percent glycohemoglobin. Samples collected by the University of Missouri were not mailed but were tested on-site.
Performance studies included:
- -Correlation of %HbA1c values obtained with whole blood vs. samples collected on the Precision A1c card by trained operators. -Correlation of %HbA1c values obtained with whole blood vs. samples collected on the Precision A1c card by lay users. -Correlation of %HbA1c values obtained by trained operators vs. lay users on samples collected with the Precision A1c card.
The performance results from all sites combined are described below:
| | Trained Operator<br>using the Precision A1c<br>Sample Collection Kit<br>vs. Whole Blood | Lay User using the<br>Precision A1c Sample<br>Collection Kit vs.<br>Whole Blood | Trained Operator vs. Lay<br>User-both using the<br>Precision A1c Sample<br>Collection Kit |
|-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Correlation Coefficient | 0.993 | 0.989 | 0.996 |
| Slope | 1.019 | 1.016 | 0.999 |
| y-Intercept | -0.02 | -0.05 | -0.04 |
| Sy.x | 0.22 | 0.27 | 0.18 |
| Bias | 0.12 | 0.07 | -0.05 |
| Mean Absolute % Bias | 2.50 | 2.77 | 1.76 |
| N | 258 | 259 | 259 |

#### CONFIDENTIAL
#### Conclusion:
Both the correlation coefficients and slopes obtained in this study were close to 1.000 and the y-intercepts close to 0.0. Results indicate excellent correlation between venous whole blood samples and capillary blood samples (collected with the Precision A1c Kit) and analyzed by the Roche Cobas Systems. In addition, equivalent results were achieved by lay users and trained operators when compared against each other.
