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.

Test Principle: The PixoTest A1c Test kit uses an anti-HbA1c antibody which is specific for the first few amino acid residues of the glycated N-terminus of the β-chain of hemoglobin A0. When whole blood is added to the buffer solution tube and mixed with the spoit, the erythrocytes are instantly lysed to release the glycated hemoglobin (hereafter, HbA1c). When sample mixture is loaded onto the sample port of the test panel, the mixture fluid migrates along the membrane of the test panel by capillary action, and the HbA1c is then immobilized onto the anti-HbA1c antibody coated line. The amount of the blue conjugates on the anti-HbA1c line reflects the amount of HbA1c in the sample. The intensity of hemoglobin color from the {4} desired area on the membrane of test panel is measured. Chemical and immune reaction that occurs on the test strip is measured by the optical system in PixoTest POCT Analyzer. This system measures both fractions and uses an algorithm to convert the result into the percentage HbA1c in the sample. ## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable): ### 1. Analytical performance: #### a. Precision/Reproducibility: An internal precision study was performed with K2-EDTA venous whole blood samples containing five levels of HbA1c. Samples were tested in duplicate for two runs per day over 20 days using 1 test kit lot per analyzer for a total of 3 test kit lots and 3 analyzers. The results are shown below: | HbA1c level (%) | Lot | N | Mean HbA1c (%) | Repeatability (Within-run) | | Between run | | Between day | | Total | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | | | SD | CV | SD | CV | SD | CV | SD | CV | | 4.0 to 5.5 | 1 | 80 | 5.27 | 0.17 | 3.1% | 0.01 | 0.3% | 0.12 | 2.2% | 0.16 | 3.1% | | | 2 | 80 | 5.17 | 0.15 | 2.8% | 0.01 | 0.1% | 0.11 | 2.0% | 0.14 | 2.8% | | | 3 | 80 | 5.25 | 0.20 | 3.8% | 0.01 | 0.3% | 0.16 | 3.0% | 0.20 | 3.8% | | | Combined | 240 | 5.23 | 0.17 | 3.2% | 0.01 | 0.2% | 0.13 | 2.4% | 0.17 | 3.3% | | 5.5 to 6.5 | 1 | 80 | 5.99 | 0.23 | 3.7% | 0.01 | 0.2% | 0.16 | 2.7% | 0.22 | 3.7% | | | 2 | 80 | 6.00 | 0.22 | 3.8% | 0.01 | 0.2% | 0.18 | 3.0% | 0.22 | 3.7% | | | 3 | 80 | 5.98 | 0.23 | 3.9% | 0.03 | 0.5% | 0.18 | 3.0% | 0.23 | 3.8% | | | Combined | 240 | 5.98 | 0.23 | 3.8% | 0.02 | 0.3% | 0.17 | 2.9% | 0.22 | 3.7% | | 6.5 to 7.5 | 1 | 80 | 6.97 | 0.25 | 3.6% | 0.03 | 0.4% | 0.17 | 2.4% | 0.25 | 3.5% | | | 2 | 80 | 6.86 | 0.25 | 3.6% | 0.03 | 0.4% | 0.16 | 2.3% | 0.25 | 3.6% | | | 3 | 80 | 6.97 | 0.21 | 3.1% | 0.01 | 0.2% | 0.14 | 2.0% | 0.21 | 3.0% | | | Combined | 240 | 6.93 | 0.24 | 3.4% | 0.02 | 0.3% | 0.16 | 2.2% | 0.22 | 3.1% | | 7.5 to 8.5 | 1 | 80 | 7.83 | 0.25 | 3.2% | 0.04 | 0.5% | 0.14 | 1.7% | 0.25 | 3.2% | | | 2 | 80 | 7.93 | 0.26 | 3.3% | 0.01 | 0.2% | 0.16 | 2.1% | 0.26 | 3.3% | | | 3 | 80 | 7.86 | 0.24 | 3.0% | 0.05 | 0.6% | 0.15 | 1.9% | 0.24 | 3.0% | | | Combined | 240 | 7.88 | 0.25 | 3.2% | 0.03 | 0.4% | 0.15 | 1.9% | 0.24 | 3.1% | | 11 to 13 | 1 | 80 | 11.88 | 0.29 | 2.4% | 0.01 | 0.1% | 0.17 | 1.4% | 0.28 | 2.4% | | | 2 | 80 | 11.97 | 0.27 | 2.3% | 0.06 | 0.5% | 0.18 | 1.5% | 0.28 | 2.3% | | | 3 | 80 | 11.96 | 0.26 | 2.2% | 0.03 | 0.2% | 0.14 | 1.2% | 0.26 | 2.2% | | | Combined | 240 | 11.94 | 0.27 | 2.3% | 0.03 | 0.3% | 0.16 | 1.4% | 0.29 | 2.4% | An external reproducibility study was performed at three point-of-care sites with three intended use operators per site over five days. K2-EDTA venous whole blood samples containing five levels of HbA1c were tested over three runs in triplicate per run per {5} day using 3 test kit lots and 3 analyzers. Within-run, between run, between day, between site, and between operator variability were assessed. The total precision CVs were ≤ 2.9% at 5.3% HbA1c, ≤ 3.3% at 6.2% HbA1c, ≤ 3.7% at 6.8% HbA1c, ≤ 3.1% at 7.8% HbA1c, and ≤ 2.6% at 12.0% HbA1c. b. Linearity/assay reportable range: A total of 13 K2-EDTA venous whole blood samples with HbA1c concentrations covering the assay measuring range (at approximately 3.9, 4.8, 5.8, 6.5, 7.7, 8.2, 9.7, 10.7, 11.4, 12.3, 13.8, 14.8, 15.5%) were analyzed in ten replicates per sample on one PixoTest POCT System using 3 lots of PixoTest POCT A1c Test Kits. The mean of these replicates was compared to the expected values obtained from TOSOH G7 analyzer (k011434). A representative linear regression equation from one lot is shown below: $$ y = 0.99x + 0.13, r = 0.99 $$ The study supports the sponsor's claimed linearity range of 4.0 - 15.0% HbA1c. c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods): Traceability: The PixoTest POCT System is traceable to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) reference material. Test strip stability: The PixoTest POCT Test Kit has a shelf-life of 18 months when stored at 34-86°F (1-30°C) and 10-90% relative humidity. Shelf-life protocols and acceptance criteria were previously reviewed in k140827 and found acceptable. d. Detection limit: The claimed HbA1c measuring range of 4.0%-15.0% for the PixoTest POCT System is based on linearity. See M.1.b. above. e. Analytical specificity: Endogenous and exogenous interference Endogenous and exogenous substances were spiked at two levels into each of two K2-EDTA venous whole blood samples (containing approximately 5.5% or 9.6% HbA1c). Test samples measured on the PixoTest POCT System were compared to K2-EDTA venous whole blood control samples (containing no potential interferent) measured on the PixoTest POCT System. Test and control samples were tested in replicates of five. The sponsor defined non-significant interference as ≤ ± 6% change in the HbA1c measurements from the control value. The following substances demonstrated no significant interference at the concentrations described below: 6 {6} | Substance | Highest concentration without significant interference | | --- | --- | | Albumin | 6000 mg/dL | | Unconjugated bilirubin | 20 mg/dL | | Glycated Albumin | 770 mg/dL | | Lipemia/Intralipid | 3300 mg/dL | | Rheumatoid Factor | 600 IU/mL | | Total protein | 12000 mg/dL | | Urea | 260 mg/dL | | Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) | 65 mg/dL | | Ascorbic acid | 10 mg/dL | | Acetaminophen | 30 mg/dL | | Acetylcysteine | 170 mg/dL | | Ampicillin | 5.3 mg/dL | | Caffeine | 30 mg/dL | | Cefoxitin | 66 mg/dL | | Cyclosporine A | 1 mg/dL | | Doxycycline | 3 mg/dL | | Glyburide | 20 mg/dL | | Hydroxyzine dihydrochloride | 30 mg/dL | | Heparin | 3000 U/L | | Ibuprofen | 50 mg/dL | | Levodopa (L-dopa) | 2 mg/dL | | Dopamine | 2 mg/dL | | Methyldopa | 1.5 mg/dL | | Metformin | 5.1 mg/dL | | Metronidazole | 12 mg/dL | | Rifampicin | 6.4 mg/dL | | Glibenclamide | 0.2 mg/dL | ## Hemoglobin derivative interference Interference from hemoglobin derivatives (acetylated hemoglobin, carbamylated hemoglobin, labile A1c) was assessed in two K2-EDTA venous whole blood samples (approximately 5.5% or 9.6% HbA1c). Acetylated hemoglobin was derived in the presence of acetylsalicylic acid, carbamylated hemoglobin was derived in the presence of sodium cyanate, and labile A1c was derived in the presence of glucose. Test samples measured on the PixoTest POCT System were compared to K2-EDTA venous whole blood control samples (containing no potential interferent) measured on the PixoTest POCT System. Test samples and control samples were tested in replicates of five. The sponsor defined non-significant interference as ≤ ± 6% change in the HbA1c measurements from the control value. The following hemoglobin derivatives demonstrated no significant interference at the concentrations described below: {7} | Hemoglobin derivative | Highest concentration without interference | | --- | --- | | Acetylated hemoglobin | 200 mg/mL (20000 mg/dL) | | Carbamylated hemoglobin | 20 mg/mL (2000 mg/dL) | | Labile A1C | 2000 mg/mL (200000 mg/dL) | ## Hemoglobin variant interference: A hemoglobin variant study was performed using K2-EDTA venous whole blood samples (ranging from 5.0% to 9.7% HbA1c) containing known concentrations of hemoglobin variants C, D, E, S, F, and A2. Samples measured by PixoTest POCT System were compared to the assigned HbA1c concentration. The sponsor defined non-significant interference as ≤ ± 7% change in HbA1c from the reference value. The data demonstrate no significant interference for the hemoglobin variants at the following concentrations: Hemoglobin C (≤ 36%), Hemoglobin D (≤ 41%), Hemoglobin E (≤ 28%), Hemoglobin S (≤ 40%), Hemoglobin F (≤ 19%) and Hemoglobin A2 (≤ 6.5%). The labeling contains the following information regarding hemoglobin variant interference: Hemoglobinopathies may interfere with glycated hemoglobin analysis. The results from the PixoTest POCT System show that there is no significant interference for samples containing Hemoglobin C (≤ 36%), Hemoglobin D (≤ 41%), Hemoglobin E (≤ 28%), Hemoglobin S (≤ 40%), Hemoglobin F (≤ 19%) and Hemoglobin A2 (≤ 6.5%). ## Total hemoglobin The effect of different levels of total hemoglobin was evaluated using three K2-EDTA venous whole blood samples containing approximately 5.3%, 7.1%, or 12.2% HbA1c. Samples measured by PixoTest POCT System were compared to the HbA1c concentration assigned by TOSOH G7 method (k011434). The sponsor defined non-significant interference as ≤ ± 6% change in HbA1c from the reference value. The data supports the claimed hemoglobin range of 7 to 23 g/dL. f. Assay cut-off: Not applicable. 2. Comparison studies: a. Method comparison with predicate device: A method comparison study was conducted at three point of care sites with three intended use operators at each site. K2-EDTA venous whole blood samples from 120 subjects (40 subjects per site) were collected and tested in singleate with the PixoTest POCT System using three lots of PixoTest POCT A1c Test Kits at each site. The {8} results obtained with the PixoTest POCT System were compared to the results obtained for the same samples with the TOSOH G7 comparative method (k011434). The range of HbA1c tested was 4.6% to 14.2% HbA1c as determined by TOSOH G7 method. Results of the linear regression analysis are shown below. | Site | N | HbA1c range (%) | Slope | Intercept | R | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 40 | 4.6 – 13.4 | 0.988 | 0.157 | 0.987 | | 2 | 40 | 5.0 – 13.3 | 1.054 | -0.281 | 0.989 | | 3 | 40 | 4.8 – 14.2 | 1.049 | -0.242 | 0.991 | | Combined | 120 | 4.6 – 14.2 | 1.024 | -0.112 | 0.988 | b. Matrix comparison : Testing was performed to validate the use of venous whole blood samples with different anticoagulants with the PixoTest POCT System. Fifty venous whole blood samples (ranging from 5.0% to 13.0% HbA1c) were drawn into each of the intended anticoagulant tube types. Values for sodium heparin, lithium heparin, and sodium fluoride venous whole blood samples measured on PixoTest POCT System were compared to values obtained for K2-EDTA venous whole blood samples measured on PixoTest POCT System. Results of the linear regression analyses are shown below. | Anticoagulant | Slope | Intercept | R | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Sodium heparin | 1.0192 | -0.1801 | 0.9929 | | Lithium heparin | 0.9983 | 0.0327 | 0.9907 | | Sodium fluoride | 1.0146 | -0.1055 | 0.9953 | 3. Clinical studies: a. Clinical Sensitivity: Not applicable. b. Clinical specificity: Not applicable. c. Other clinical supportive data (when a. and b. are not applicable): Not applicable. 4. Clinical cut-off: Not applicable. {9} 5. Expected values/Reference range: The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommended a reasonable A1c goal for many non-pregnant adults is < 7 % (53 mmol/mol). Providers might reasonably suggest more stringent A1C goals (such as 6.5 % [48 mmol/mol]) for selected individual patients if this can be achieved without significant hypoglycemia or other adverse effects of treatment.
