Intended Use
The AlCNow multi-use test provides quantitative measurement of the percent of glycated hemoglobin (%HbAIc, %A1C) levels in whole blood samples. The test is for home use and professional use for monitoring glycemic control in people with diabetes.
Device Description
The A1CNow+ tests provides quantitative measurement of the percent of glycated hemoglobin (%A1C) levels in capillary (fingerstick) or venous whole blood samples. The test is used to monitor glycemic control in people with diabetes. A1cNow+ consists of 1) a semi-disposable plastic-encased device (the monitor), 2) a plastic cartridge enclosing dry reagent strips, and 3) a sample dilution kit for: collecting the blood sample, mixing the sample with the required pre-treatment solution, and delivering the sample to the cartridge. When testing with A1CNow+, an unmeasured whole blood mixture (diluted) is directly applied to the sample port, and the results are displayed in numeric form on the Monitor's liquid crystal display after 5 minutes.

No
The description focuses on a chemical assay and a simple monitor for displaying results, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

No
The device is described as a test that provides quantitative measurement of glycated hemoglobin levels, used for monitoring glycemic control in people with diabetes. This indicates a diagnostic or monitoring function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

This device measures %HbA1c levels to monitor glycemic control in people with diabetes, which is a key indicator used to assess the effectiveness of diabetes management, thus providing information that aids in making clinical decisions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components: a semi-disposable plastic-encased device (the monitor), a plastic cartridge enclosing dry reagent strips, and a sample dilution kit.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device "provides quantitative measurement of the percent of glycated hemoglobin (%HbAIc, %A1C) levels in whole blood samples." This is a measurement performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample (whole blood).
  • Device Description: The description details how the device interacts with a "whole blood mixture (diluted)" and uses "dry reagent strips" within a "plastic cartridge." This further confirms that the analysis is being performed on a sample outside the body using reagents.
  • Sample Type: The device uses "whole blood samples," which are biological specimens.
  • Measurement: It provides a "quantitative measurement" of a specific analyte (%A1C) in the blood.

All of these characteristics align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

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

The performance was assessed in two separate clinical validation studies. The studies showed that changes to the hemolysate kit and product stability had no negative impact on product safety and efficacy. In addition, completed and ongoing product stability studies show no negative impacts of increased room temperature shelf life.

§ 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).

There were no changes to the intended use or fundamental scientific technology.

Comparison to Predicate device:

A1CNow is the same in fundamental technology and intended use to the predicate device, A1CNow, K051321, but has increased product stability and a simplified hemolysate preparation kit.

Assessment of Performance:

Conclusion:

The performance was assessed in two separate clinical validation studies. The studies showed that changes to the hemolysate kit and product stability had no negative impact on product safety and efficacy. In addition, completed and ongoing product stability studies show no negative impacts of increased room temperature shelf life.

The results of the verification and validation studies of A1CNow demonstrated that the product is safe and effective in the hands of lay users and healthcare professionals. The product is substantially equivalent.
