Intended Use
The Avie™ Alc test is a point of care system that quantitatively measures %A1C (glycated hemoglobin) in capillary or venous whole blood samples. The test is for prescription use and physician-directed home use to monitor glycemic control in people with diabetes mellitus. The device cannot be used in patients with hemoglobinopathies of HbF, HbC, and HbD.
Device Description
The Avie A1C test system is for the quantitative measurement of %A1C in fingerstick whole blood at the point-of-care (Professional or Physician Directed Home Use). The system consists of a small instrument ("Reader), a single-use diluent solution vial, single-use reagent test cartridges, and control levels I and II solutions. To perform one test, the Reader is turned on by the push of a button on its top surface, and a self-check (optics and software) is performed automatically. If a malfunction is detected, the Reader displays an error message on the LCD display. When the LCD display denotes "Ready" a test cartridge is inserted into an unambiguous slot in the reader. About four uL of whole blood is delivered into a vial containing wash solution or diluent, via a transfer pipette, and the vial is inverted five times for mixing. At the instruction of the reader (LCD read-out), three drops of blood mixture are applied to a well in the cartridge: the reactions then proceed automatically. There are no further procedural steps, and results in %A1C are displayed on the reader's LCD screen in approximately three minutes. The concentration of A1C is expressed as a percentage of the total hemoglobin as follows: %HBA1C = (HBA1C ÷ TOTAL HB) ×100

No
The description focuses on a chemical reaction-based measurement system with a reader for displaying results. There is no mention of AI/ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
The device is for measuring %A1C (glycated hemoglobin) to monitor glycemic control, not for treatment.

Yes

Explanation: The device quantitatively measures %A1C (glycated hemoglobin) to monitor glycemic control in people with diabetes mellitus, which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a "small instrument ('Reader')", a diluent solution vial, and reagent test cartridges, in addition to software. This indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device "quantitatively measures %A1C (glycated hemoglobin) in capillary or venous whole blood samples." This is a measurement performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that uses a "single-use diluent solution vial" and "single-use reagent test cartridges" to perform a chemical reaction on a blood sample. This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Sample Type: The device uses "capillary or venous whole blood samples," which are biological specimens collected from the patient for analysis.
  • Measurement: The device measures "%A1C," which is a specific analyte in the blood used for diagnostic and monitoring purposes.

The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device generally includes reagents, instruments, and systems intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or its sequelae. This device fits that description by measuring a marker (%A1C) used to monitor glycemic control in people with diabetes mellitus.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Studies were done that evaluated precision, linearity, interference, operational condition limits, and NGSP traceability for the Avie A1C Test System. The Avie A1C Test System demonstrates precision within 5 %CV at each of two levels- normal and abnormal %A1C. The Avie A1C Test System is linear between 5 and 14 %A1C. The Avie A1C Test System is insensitive to high physiological levels of triglyceride and bilirubin, high therapeutic levels of various over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, and hemoglobin levels ranging from approximately 9 g/dL to 20 g/dL. The system is sensitive to high levels of Metformin and glybenclamide (greater than 0.39 mg/dL and 0.02 mg/dL, respectively), as well as high levels of hemoglobinopathies. The Avie A1C Test System may be operated between temperatures of 18°C to 28°C. NGSP issued a certificate of traceability granting manufacturer certification to MEC Dynamics, Corporation.

Clinical studies were conducted across four sites with approximately 150 subjects. Subjects first performed one Avie A1C test on themselves, and this was followed by a second Avie AlC test performed by a health care professional at the site. Venous blood was collected and sent to the NGSP laboratory in Columbia. MO.
Regression statistics:
Professional: Avie = 0.95 (NGSP) + 0.004 r = 0.94
Self: Avie = 0.99 (NGSP) + 0.001 r = 0.94

Clinical sensitivity testing of professional vs. self testing conducted at four sites with 109 subjects within the linearity range combined results were:
Y=0.98S+0.003 r=0.94

The ability of untrained non-laboratory physician office staff was evaluated in an additional clinical sensitivity study conducted at three sites with 42 subjects. Testing comparing at least 2 untrained operators given only documented instructions and one trained operator per site resulted in the following combined values for trained vs. untrained operators:
Y=1.05x -0.1899 r^2 = 0.95

A comparison test of the Avie™ A1C Test System to the A1C Now+ was run at one site with 60 subjects with the following results:
Y=1.000x +0.004 r^2 = 0.981 venous
Y=0.993x +0.020 r^2 = 0.946 capillary

A comparison of venous to capillary samples using the Avie™ A1C Test System on 60 subjects results were:
Y=0.972x +0.191 r^2 = 0.947

§ 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)
