Intended Use
The SYNCHRON Systems Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Reagent Kit, in conjunction with SYNCHRON HbA1c Calibrators and SYNCHRON HbA1c Hemolyzing Reagent, is intended for the quantitative determination of Hemoglobin A1c concentrations in whole blood on SYNCHRON Clinical Systems.
Device Story
The SYNCHRON Systems HbA1c Reagent is an in vitro diagnostic kit used on SYNCHRON Clinical Systems to measure HbA1c levels in whole blood. The system processes whole blood samples to determine HbA1c concentration as a percentage of total hemoglobin. It is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. The device provides quantitative results that assist healthcare providers in assessing glycemic control and adjusting insulin therapy for diabetic patients. The system utilizes specific bar-coded cartridges and pre-programmed assay parameters within the SYNCHRON database to automate the analysis, replacing manual programming required by predicate systems.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Method comparison studies against the predicate Tina-quant® assay (slope 0.9906, intercept -0.19%, r=0.9698) and Biorad Diamat HPLC method (slope 0.9937, intercept -0.25%, r=0.9678) demonstrate analytical equivalence. Imprecision studies (N=80) showed within-run CVs of 2.9-4.5% and total CVs of 6.0-7.2% across three concentration levels.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic reagent kit for use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Employs chemical reaction-based assay for HbA1c quantification. Features bar-coded reagent cartridges for automated system recognition and parameter loading. Operates on SYNCHRON Clinical Systems platform.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of hemoglobin A1c concentration as a percentage of total hemoglobin in whole blood to assess diabetes control and determine insulin dosage in patients.
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.
