Indications for Use
The Hemoglobin Capillary Collection System (HCCS) is intended for the collection of human whole blood for the percentage determination of hemoglobin A1c using Bio-Rad HPLC methods. For In Vitro diagnostic use The measurement of percent hemoglobin A1c is effective in monitoring long-term glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus.
Device Story
HCCS facilitates collection/preparation of capillary or venous whole blood for HbA1c analysis; system includes microvials with reagent (EDTA/potassium cyanide), plastic capillaries, capillary holder, and labels. Professional users collect blood via capillary; sample is diluted in reagent vial at time of collection. Prepared samples are stable for transport/storage (4 days at 42°C, 2 weeks at 15-30°C, or 4 weeks at 2-8°C). Samples are analyzed using Bio-Rad VARIANT II or D-10 Hemoglobin A1c Programs (HPLC). Output is percent HbA1c; used by clinicians to monitor long-term glucose control in diabetic patients.
Clinical Evidence
Method comparison study conducted at an external site. Compared HbA1c values from capillary samples (HCCS) vs. venous whole blood samples (predicates). Results showed no significant difference in HbA1c values between HCCS-prepared samples and predicate-diluted samples.
Technological Characteristics
Components: 1.5 mL microvials (11mm x 40mm) with pierceable caps, 5 µL plastic capillaries, capillary holder. Reagent: Aqueous solution of EDTA and potassium cyanide (0.25 mmol/L). Principle: Hemolysis and sample preservation for HPLC analysis. Shelf life: 24 months at room temperature.
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring long-term glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus via measurement of percent hemoglobin A1c.

## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision studies were conducted by testing three patient whole blood samples at approximately the following levels; low 4-6%, mid 6-8% and high 8-12%. The samples were assayed twice a day for twenty days using one VARIANT II and one D-10 Hemoglobin testing systems. The results are presented in the table below:
{4}
| | VARIANT II | | | D-10 | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Low | Mid | High | Low | Mid | High |
| Mean - % HbA1c | 4.85 | 6.12 | 10.49 | 4.90 | 6.06 | 10.57 |
| Within run % CV | 1.48 | 0.71 | 0.53 | 0.88 | 0.61 | 0.63 |

| Total precision % CV | 2.45 | 0.98 | 1.22 | 1.92 | 0.90 | 1.21 |
# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity across the assay range was confirmed by inter mixing the level 1 sample of the Bio-Rad Lyphochek hemoglobin A1c linearity set ( $\sim$ $3.5\%$ HbA1c) with a high patient sample ( $\sim$ $18.5\%$ HbA1c) creating three pooled sample sets each with 5 levels of HbA1c. One set of samples was diluted with the Hemoglobin Capillary Collection System (HCCS) reagent and two other sets of samples were diluted with the Wash/Diluent solutions one with the VARIANT II and the other with the D-10 Hemoglobin Testing Systems. Each sample was tested in duplicate on each system. Results are presented below:
| VARIANT II | | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sample | Theoretical | Measured |
| 1 | 3.25 | 3.10 |
| 2 | 6.75 | 6.91 |
| 3 | 10.70 | 10.72 |
| 4 | 14.45 | 14.53 |
| 5 | 18.45 | 18.34 |
| Regression | y = 1.0026x - 0.1586 | |
| D-10 | | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sample | Theoretical | Measured |
| 1 | 3.45 | 3.26 |
| 2 | 7.3 | 7.10 |
| 3 | 11.15 | 10.94 |
| 4 | 15 | 14.78 |
| 5 | 18.85 | 18.62 |
| Regression | y = 0.9974x - 0.181 | |
The VARIANT II test system has a reportable range of $3.1 - 18.5\%$ A1c. The D-10 test system has a reportable range of $3.8 - 18.5\%$ A1c.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The sponsor has documented traceability to the NGSP’s recommended accuracy base for HbA1c by performing a direct comparison with a Secondary Reference Laboratory (SRL) using 40 fresh human specimens. At this time, the assay is NGSP certified. However, NGSP certification expires at the end of one year. For current certifications see the NGSP website at: http://www.ngsp.org/prog/index2.html
Accelerated stability studies have been conducted. Protocols and acceptance criteria were described and found to be acceptable. When stored at room temperature the shelf life of the HCCS device is 24 months.
Stability of whole blood samples prepared with the Hemoglobin Capillary Collection System (HCCS) has been conducted. Protocols and acceptance criteria were described and found to be acceptable. Samples when stored at 2-8°C are stable for 4 weeks, 15-30°C stable for 2 weeks and 42°C stable for 4 days.
d. Detection limit:
The reportable range for the VARIANT II is 3.1 to 18.5% HbA1c and the D-10 is 3.8 to 18.5% HbA1c. See the linearity study above for data on recovery of samples across the measuring range.
e. Analytical specificity:
A study was conducted to determine if the level of interference for Liable A1c and Carbamylated Hemoglobin in patient samples differs when diluting samples using the HCCS to diluting the sample with Wash/Diluent for the VARIANT II and D-10 Hemoglobin A1c Programs. Two venous whole blood samples representing normal and diabetic A1c levels were split into 2 aliquots. One aliquot of each pool was treated to elevate the Labile A1c. The other aliquot was treated to elevate the Carbamyated Hemoglobin. Next set was diluted using the HCCS reagent and the other with the Wash/Diluent solution of the assay being studied. Samples and controls were run in duplicate on each system. The sponsor’s acceptance criteria states that the % difference of HbA1c for samples diluted with HCCS method as compared to samples diluted with Wash/Diluent Solution must be less than ≤ 0.3 % HbA1c for normal samples and ≤ 0.5 % HbA1c for diabetic samples. The study showed that these criteria were met.
{6}
To evaluate the effect on hemoglobin variants such as Hb S, C, D and E when tested using the Hemoglobin Capillary Collection System (HCCS), samples with known hemoglobin variants were tested. One sample was prepared using the Wash/Diluent solution (control) and one using the HCCS device (candidate). The sponsor's acceptance criterion required that the % difference of HbA1c between the control and the candidate devices were within +/- 0.2 % HbA1c. The studies found that samples containing HbS, HbC, HbD and HbE showed no significant interference.

b. Matrix comparison:
Paired capillary and EDTA venous whole blood samples were diluted using the Hemoglobin Capillary Collection System (HCCS) and were assayed on the VARIANT II and D-10 Hemoglobin Testing Systems. The following are the correlations:
| | Slope | Intercept | R² | N | Range |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| VARIANT II | 1.000 | 0.000 | 0.998 | 31 | 5 – 12.0% |
