The summary describes a standard HPLC system for HbA1c measurement with a software upgrade for operating system compatibility. There is no mention of AI/ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used for measuring hemoglobin A1c levels, which primarily aids in monitoring diabetes. It does not directly treat or alleviate a disease, but rather provides diagnostic information.
Yes
The device is intended for the "percent determination of hemoglobin A1c in human whole blood," and "Measurement of percent hemoglobin A1c is effective in monitoring long-term glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus," indicating its use in assessing a medical condition. It is also explicitly stated as being "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use."
No
The device description explicitly states it is part of a "VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin Testing System" which uses "high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)" and a "cation exchange cartridge." While the submission focuses on a software upgrade (CDM 4.0), the overall system includes significant hardware components for performing the test.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
The document explicitly states:
- "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use." in the Intended Use / Indications for Use section.
- "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use." in the Intended User / Care Setting section.
This confirms that the device is intended for use in vitro (outside of the body) to diagnose or monitor medical conditions.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Accuracy:
Method correlation between Bio-Rad VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program with CDM 4.0 and VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program with CDM 3.6T was evaluated using 40 EDTA whole blood samples ranging from (4.4% -11.6%) HbA1c.
Results: R2 = 0.9991, Slope = 1.0174, Intercept = 0.0559.
Precision:
Method precision was performed using a protocol based on the NCCLS Evaluation protocol, EP5-A for the VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program with CDM 4.0 and 3.6T. Duplicate aliquots of normal HbAlc and diabetic HbA1c patient samples and controls were analyzed per run. The position of the precision specimens in each run was randomized.
VARIANT II TURBO HbA1c with CDM 4.0:
Normal Sample (n=40): Mean (%HbA1c) = 5.4, Within run (%CV) = 0.9, Total Precision (%CV) = 1.2.
Diabetic Sample (n=40): Mean (%HbA1c) = 9.7, Within run (%CV) = 0.9, Total Precision (%CV) = 1.9.
VARIANT II TURBO HbA1c with CDM 3.6T:
Normal Sample (n=80): Mean (%HbA1c) = 6.2, Within run (%CV) = 0.8, Total Precision (%CV) = 1.9.
Diabetic Sample (n=80): Mean (%HbA1c) = 12.5, Within run (%CV) = 0.5, Total Precision (%CV) = 2.6.
Conclusion: The precision results between the VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program with CDM 4.0 and CDM 3.6T are equivalent.

§ 864.7470 Glycosylated hemoglobin assay.
(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Precision:
VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program
The following precision table provides comparison data on the precision between VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program with CDM 4.0 vs. CDM 3.6T each utilizing EDTA whole blood patient samples.
Method precision was performed using a protocol based on the NCCLS Evaluation protocol, EP5-A for the VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program with CDM 4.0 and 3.6T. The protocols for both VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program with CDM 4.0 and 3.6T are similar. In each duplicate daily run for both verification studies, duplicate aliquots of normal HbAlc and diabetic HbA1c patient samples and controls were each analyzed per run. The position of the precision specimens in each run was randomized to simulate normal laboratory conditions. The precision data for the VARIANT II TURBO with CDM 3.6T was over 20 working days while the data for VARIANT II TURBO with CDM 4.0 was over 10 working days.
Although precision samples are different, since they were run at different time periods, the precision results between the VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program with CDM 4.0 and CDM 3.6T are equivalent. A summary of combined comparative precision results are presented in the following precision table.

Conclusion:
The similarities of the intended use and the general performance characteristics and results of the newly described and evaluated VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program run on the VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin Testing System with CDM 4.0 are nearly identical to or logical extensions of those for cleared predicate program systems [i.e., VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin Alc Program run on the VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin Testing System with CDM 3.6T (k)040872]. Thus, one may conclude, based on the use of the same HPLC technology, and the nearly equivalent results obtained for the correlation and precision versus the corresponding results obtained with the predicate system that the new VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin A1c Program run on the VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin Testing System with CDM 4.0 is substantially equivalent to the cleared and currently marketed predicate system.
