Intended Use
The DCA Vantage™ is a semi-automated, benchtop system. It is designed to quantitatively measure the percent Hemoglobin A1c in blood and low concentrations of albumin in urine (microalbuminuria), creatinine in urine, and the albumin/creatinine ratio in urine. The measurement of hemoglobin A1c concentration is recommended for monitoring the longterm glycemic control of persons with diabetes. Testing for microalbuminuria (low concentration of albumin in urine) is recommended in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) as well as patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). It is intended for use in both screening for, and monitoring treatment of, microalbuminuria. Measurement of creatinine is used as a calculation basis to adjust the albumin/creatinine ratio result for varying urine concentrations. The reporting of albumin/creatinine ratio is recommended for the early detection of kidney diseases. The DCA Vantage system is for use in laboratories such as: physician office laboratories, clinics, and hospitals. Tests performed using the DCA Vantage™ are intended for in vitro diagnostic use.
Device Description
The DCA Vantage is a device modification to the previously cleared DCA 2000+. It is a semi-automated, benchtop analyzer designed to quantitatively measure the percent Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in blood and low concentrations of albumin in urine (microalbuminuria), creatinine in urine, and the albumin/creatinine ratio in urine. Identical to the DCA 2000+, all testing takes place at the analyzer. User steps to introduce the sample to the cartridge and the cartridge to the analyzer are unchanged. To perform a test, the user needs to collect test sample in the capillary holder, insert holder into the cartridge, scan cartridge into the barcode track, place cartridge in its compartment, remove the flexible tab and close the door to automatically start the test. Test results are displayed on screen and measurement is completed in 6-7 minutes.
