This test is to be used as an aid in diagnosis of diabetes and as an aid in identifying patients who may be at risk for developing diabetes. The cobas c 501 Tina-quant HbA1cDx Gen.3 assay is an in vitro diagnostics reagent system intended for quantitative determination of mmol/mol hemoglobin Alc (IFCC) and % hemoglobin A1c (DCCT/NGSP) in whole blood on the Roche/Hitachi cobas c 501 clinical chemistry analyzer.
Whole blood samples are placed on the analyzer. The anticoagulated whole blood is hemolyzed on board the analyzer prior to determination of HbA1c by this turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay. Liberated hemoglobin in the hemolyzed sample is converted to a derivative having a characteristic absorption spectrum and measured bichromatically. The instrument first measures hemoglobin (Hb) and glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) in terms of either g/dL or mmol/L, then calculates the % HbA1c from the HbA1c/Hb ratio according to a user-selected protocol, either IFCC or NGSP protocols.
The Roche cobas c 501 Tina-quant HbA1cDx Gen.3 assay is an in vitro diagnostic reagent system intended for the quantitative determination of HbA1c.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The submission does not explicitly state formal acceptance criteria thresholds in terms of specific performance metrics (e.g., "Total Error must be <= X%"). Instead, it presents various analytical performance characteristics and compares them to the predicate device, or indicates "no significant interference." The overall conclusion from Roche is that the device is "substantially equivalent to the predicate device" based on these characteristics.
However, based on the data presented and common analytical performance expectations for such devices, we can infer some criteria and compare the reported performance:
| Performance Metric | Inferred Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Precision (Total %CV) | Generally, low %CV across different HbA1c levels and factors (repeatability, between-run, between-day, lot, instrument). Should be comparable to or better than predicate. | Reproducibility (Total %CV): - Human Sample 1 (5.1% HbA1c): 1.9% - Human Sample 2 (6.4% HbA1c): 1.7% - Human Sample 3 (8.0% HbA1c): 2.1% - Human Sample 4 (11.3% HbA1c): 2.0% - PreciControl HbA1c norm (5.2% HbA1c): 2.4% - PreciControl HbA1c path (9.5% HbA1c): 2.0% (Individual analyzer total %CVs are slightly higher in some cases (e.g., 3.0% for PreciControl HbA1c norm on Analyzer 3)) |
| Method Comparison (Bias) | Good agreement with NGSP reference method (Tosoh HPLC); low bias across the measuring range. | At three decision levels: - 5.2% HbA1c: -1.98% Bias - 6.5% HbA1c: -1.45% Bias - 8.0% HbA1c: -1.06% Bias |
| Total Error | Total Error (TE) should be within clinically acceptable limits at key decision levels. | At three decision levels: - 5.2% HbA1c: 6.0% TE - 6.5% HbA1c: 4.7% TE - 8.0% HbA1c: 5.1% TE |
| Endogenous Interference | No significant interference (defined as >7% deviation) at tested physiological or supraphysiological levels. | No significant interference observed for: - Lipemia (Intralipid) up to 600 mg/dL - Unconjugated Bilirubin up to 60 mg/dL - Conjugated Bilirubin up to 60 mg/dL - Glucose up to 1000 mg/dL - Rheumatoid Factor up to 750 IU/mL - Total Protein up to 21 g/dL |
| Drug Interference | No significant interference (defined as >7% deviation) at stated therapeutic/supra-therapeutic concentrations. | No significant interference observed for 16 common drugs at tested concentrations (e.g., Acetylcystein 150 mg/dL, Ampicillin-Na 1000 mg/dL, Ascorbic acid 300 mg/dL, etc.). |
| Hb Derivative Cross-Reactivity | No significant cross-reactivity with common hemoglobin derivatives at physiological concentrations. | No significant cross-reactivity (defined as >7% deviation) with HbA0, HbA1a+b, Acetylated Hb, Carbamylated Hb, Labile HbA1c, and Glycated Albumin at tested concentrations. |
| Hb Variant Interference | Low bias, acceptable performance for common variants; clear identification of known interferences. | - HbC, HbS, HbE, HbD: Bias values at 6.0% and 9.0% HbA1c are generally low (e.g., -3.07 to 3.46), well within a typical 7% deviation. - HbA2: Bias values were -5.73% (6.0% HbA1c) and -4.12% (9.0% HbA1c), which are considered within acceptable limits if not exceeding a 7% deviation threshold. - HbF: Explicitly states "Bias exceeds -7% when HbF content exceeds +7%." This is a known interference and is disclosed, indicating that the device performs as expected given this limitation. |
| Measuring Range / Linearity | Wide linear range covering clinical needs; demonstrated linearity across the range. | Linear Range Summary: - Glycohemoglobin: 0.186-1.61 mmol/L HbA1c (0.30-2.6 g/dL) - Hemoglobin: 2.48-24.8 mmol/L Hb (4-40 g/dL) - Ratio: 4.2-20.1 % HbA1c (DCCT/NGSP), 23-196 mmol/mol HbA1c (IFCC). The study reports that linearity results "support the claimed reportable range." |
| Detection Limits (LoB/LoD) | Low limits, enabling accurate measurement at low concentrations. | LoB/LoD for Hb (g/dL): - LoB: 0.0210 - 0.0445 g/dL - LoD: 0.0594 - 0.1133 g/dL LoB/LoD for HbA1c (g/dL): - LoB: 0.0079 - 0.0163 g/dL - LoD: 0.0197 - 0.0315 g/dL |
2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
-
Precision Study:
- Test Set: Multiple human samples (4 distinct samples covering a range of HbA1c levels) and 2 control samples. Each sample was run in duplicate, twice a day for 21 days on 3 analyzers, using 3 reagent lots. This results in significant numbers of individual measurements per sample (2 samples/day * 21 days * 3 analyzers * 3 reagent lots = 378 data points per sample type, then additional replicates per run).
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but typically these types of analytical validation studies are conducted internally by the manufacturer or by contracted clinical research organizations, likely in a controlled laboratory setting. It is prospective data collection for the specific purpose of validating the device.
-
Method Comparison Study:
- Test Set: 141 variant-free samples.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but "variant-free samples" suggests specific selection, likely from a diverse patient population to cover the reported HbA1c range. This would be prospective data collected for the method comparison.
-
Endogenous Interference Study:
- Test Set: 6 endogenous substances. For each substance, 2 HbA1c levels were tested, each with a dilution series (varying concentrations of the interferent). Each sample in the dilution series was tested 10-fold.
- Data Provenance: Whole blood sample pools were spiked with interferents. This is an experimental, prospective design in a laboratory setting.
-
Drug Interference Study:
- Test Set: 16 drugs. For each drug, 2 HbA1c levels were tested, each at 2 concentrations of the drug. Additionally, a reference sample with no drug. Total of 64 samples prepared. Each sample was tested 10-fold.
- Data Provenance: Whole blood samples were spiked with drugs. Experimental, prospective design.
-
Hemoglobin Derivatives Cross-Reactivity Study:
- Test Set: 6 hemoglobin derivatives. For each derivative, 2 HbA1c levels, with dilution series. Each sample tested 10-fold.
- Data Provenance: Whole blood sample pools. Experimental, prospective design.
-
Hemoglobin Variants Interference Study:
- Test Set: 116 samples containing one of six common hemoglobin variants (S, C, E, D, F, A2).
- Data Provenance: Samples categorized by Hb variant and their concentration ranges. Not explicitly stated regarding country or retrospective/prospective, but given the specific variant types, these are likely clinical samples collected from populations with higher prevalence of these variants, and used prospectively for this study.
-
LoB/LoD Study:
- Test Set: One analyte-free sample (for LoB) and five low-analyte samples (for LoD).
- Data Provenance: Experimental, prospective design.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts
- For this type of in vitro diagnostic device (chemical analyzer for HbA1c), the "ground truth" for the test set is established by reference methods and analytical specifications, rather than expert human interpretation of images or clinical cases.
- Method Comparison: The ground truth for the 141 variant-free samples was established using the Tosoh HPLC, a secondary NGSP reference laboratory method. The NGSP (National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program) standardizes HbA1c test results to those of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), involving rigorous certification for laboratories and methods.
- Hemoglobin Variants Interference Study: Ground truth was established using an NGSP reference method "that is known to be free from the hemoglobin interference being tested." This implies a certified and validated method capable of accurately measuring HbA1c in the presence of specific variants.
- Other studies (Precision, Interference, LoB/LoD, Linearity): The ground truth for these studies is the inherent analytical characteristic of the sample itself (e.g., true concentration, absence/presence of interferent), measured or prepared precisely according to established laboratory standards and protocols (e.g., CLSI guidelines). No human "experts" are involved in establishing this ground truth value itself, but rather experts in analytical chemistry and laboratory medicine design and execute these studies to rigorous standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- For an in vitro diagnostic device like this, "adjudication" in the sense of comparing multiple human expert interpretations is not applicable.
- The "adjudication" is instead the comparison of the device's results against established reference methods or known concentrations/parameters of samples, usually with statistical analyses (e.g., bias calculation in method comparison).
- For the interference studies, a 7% deviation from an initial value (uninterfered sample) was the threshold for "significant interference." This acts as a predefined decision rule.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for imaging devices or other diagnostic tools that require human interpretation (e.g., radiologists reading images) and where AI is used to assist the human reader.
- This device is an automated in vitro diagnostic system that produces a quantitative numerical result for HbA1c. There is no human "reader" in the diagnostic interpretation loop in the way there would be for an imaging study.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
- Yes, the entire study focuses on the standalone performance of the cobas c 501 Tina-quant HbA1cDx Gen.3 assay.
- All reported performance metrics (precision, method comparison, interference, linearity, detection limits) reflect the analytical performance of the device itself, without any human intervention in interpreting the direct HbA1c result.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- The ground truth used primarily falls under reference method comparison and defined analytical characteristics of known samples:
- Reference Method Comparison: For method comparison and Hb variant interference, the Tosoh HPLC and other NGSP-certified reference methods served as the ground truth.
- Defined Analytical Characteristics: For precision, interference (endogenous, drug, Hb derivatives), LoB/LoD, and linearity studies, the ground truth was based on precisely prepared samples with known (or expected) physiological concentrations of analytes and interferents, or the inherent analytical properties of the samples, measured against established analytical standards.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- This submission describes a validation study for a new generation of an already existing assay/device, not the development or training of a de novo AI algorithm.
- Therefore, the concept of a "training set" in the context of machine learning (where an algorithm learns from labeled data) is not directly applicable here. This is a traditional analytical validation for an in vitro diagnostic assay. The instrument's internal "algorithms" for calculation are based on established chemical principles and calibration, not machine learning from a large, labeled dataset in the modern AI sense.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
- As explained in point 8, there isn't a "training set" in the common AI/machine learning sense for this device.
- The device's operational parameters (e.g., calibration curves, reaction kinetics) would have been established during its development phase using calibrators and control materials traced to international reference standards (e.g., IFCC and DCCT/NGSP), ensuring accuracy and consistency. These are foundational for any in vitro diagnostic test.

Analytical performance The following discusses the method comparison and total error. (continued)
Method Comparison
A method comparison was performed to compare sample results from the candidate method using one reagent lot on one cobas e 501 analyzer to sample results from Tosoh HPLC, the secondary NGSP reference laboratory method. Samples were tested in singlicate and measured over three days. 141 variant-free samples ranged from 4.7 to 12.2% HbA1c. The distribution of samples tested appears below.
Sample Distribution
| % HbA1c | # sample tested | % samples tested |
|---|---|---|
| < 5% | 5 | 3.5% |
| 5-6% | 21 | 14.9% |
| 6-6.5% | 28 | 19.9% |
| 6.5-7% | 33 | 23.4% |
| 7-8% | 27 | 19.1% |
| 8-9% | 15 | 10.6% |
| > 9% | 12 | 8.5% |
| Total | 141 | 100% |
Total Error
The bias component from the method comparison study and the precision component from the reproducibility study are used to calculate the total error at three concentrations near the cutoff.
Total Error
| Decision Level (% HbA1c) | %Bias | %CV | %TE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.2 | -1.98% | 2.07% | 6.0% |
| 6.5 | -1.45% | 1.7% | 4.7% |

The following discusses the endogenous interference. Analytical performance (continued)
Endogenous Interference
Six endogenous substances were evaluated for potential interference of the assay. These substances were spiked into whole blood sample pools. A separate preparation occurred for each substance. Two HbA1c levels, one near the medical decision level and one above it, were tested for each endogenous substance. Thus twelve dilution series were created.
Each sample in each dilution series was tested ten-fold for % HbA1c on a single cobas c 501 analyzer, using a single reagent lot.
The median value for each set of ten was calculated. The reference sample is the sample Level 0 in the dilution series; it contains no interferent. The initial value is the measured result for the reference sample. The results for all remaining samples in the dilution series are compared to the initial value. This comparison is evaluated as a percent deviation. Interference is significant when it exceeds 7% deviation from the initial value.
| Endogenous Interference Summary | ||
|---|---|---|
| endogenous substance | range tested | highest level tested withno significant interference |
| Lipemia (Intralipid) | 0-2000 mg/dL | 600 mg/dL |

Analytical performance The following discusses the drug interference. (continued)
Drug Interference
Sixteen drugs were evaluated for potential interference of the assay. These drugs were spiked into whole blood samples at two concentrations, Concentration 1 is ~5 times the maximum daily dose and Concentration 2 is the maximum daily dose. A separate preparation occurred for each drug. Two HbA1c levels, one near the medical decision level and one above it, were tested for each drug. Thus, 64 samples were prepared. Also, an HbA1c sample with no drug served at the reference sample.
Each sample was tested ten-fold for % HbAIc on a single cobas c 501 analyzer, using a single reagent lot.
The median value for each set of ten was calculated and compared to the initial value. Percent recovery was calculated. Interference is significant when it exceeds 7% deviation from the initial value. Results show that no significant interference was observed with the following drugs up to the stated concentrations.
| drug | highest level tested with no significant interference |
|---|---|
| Acetylcystein | 150 mg/dL |

The following discusses cross-reactivity with hemoglobin derivatives.
Cross-Reactivity with Hemoglobin Derivatives
Six hemoglobin derivatives were evaluated for potential interference of the assay. Two HbA1c levels, one near the medical decision level and one above it, were represented in whole blood sample pools. For each HbA1c level, two whole blood pools were prepared for each derivative, one with none and one with a high concentration of derivative. From the pools, a serial dilution was prepared to yield varying concentrations of the derivative for both HbA 1c levels.
Each sample was tested ten-fold for % HbA1c on a single cobas c 501 analyzer, using a single reagent lot.
The median value for each set of ten was calculated. The reference sample is the sample Level 0 in the dilution series; it contains no interferent. The initial value is the measured result for the reference sample. The results for all remaining samples in the dilution series are compared to the initial value. This comparison is evaluated as a percent deviation. Interference is significant when it exceeds 7% deviation from the initial value.
| endogenous substance | range tested | highest level tested withno significant interference |
|---|---|---|
| HbA0 | 0-120 g/dL | 120 g/dL |
| HbAla+b | 0-0.64 g/dL | 0.48 g/dL |
| Acetylated Hb | 0-2.0 g/dL | 2.0 g/dL |
| Carbamylated Hb | 0-1.0 g/dL | 1.0 g/dL |
| Labile HbAlc | 0-100 mg/dL | 100 mg/dL |
| Glycated Albumin | 0-10 g/dL | 10 g/dL |
Cross-Reactivity with Hemoglobin Derivatives Summary
There is no significant cross-reactivity with these hemoglobin derivatives at physiologically occurring concentrations.

Analytical performance The following discusses the interference with hemoglobin variants. (continued)
Hemoglobin Variants Interference
A hemoglobin variant interference study was performed using a total of 116 samples that contain one of six common hemoglobin variants. This table summarizes the sample profile.
| Hemoglobin | Quantityof Samples | Range of% Content of Variant | Range ofConcentration in % HbA1c |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 20 | 31 - 42% S | 4.60 - 13.0 |
| C | 19 | 33 - 44% C | 4.68 - 13.0 |
| E | 20 | 27 – 33% E | 5.00 - 9.68 |
| D | 20 | 34 – 42% D | 4.79 - 9.78 |
| F | 20 | 2 – 28% F | 5.83 - 10.1 |
| A2 | 17 | 4 – 7% A2 | 4.90 - 8.56 |
| Total | 116 |
Representation of Hemoglobin Variants
Testing was performed on the candidate device and with an NGSP reference method that is known to be free from the hemoglobin interference being tested. This table categorizes results for the variants as they are impacted by % HbA1c concentration. The results reflect bias between actual sample results. Interference > 7% deviation from the reference method is significant.
| Hb Variant | 6.0 % HbA1c | 9.0 % HbA1c |
|---|---|---|
| C | -3.07 | -0.35 |
| S | 2.17 | 3.42 |
| E | -1.58 | 3.46 |
| D | -2.30 | 3.35 |
| A2 | -5.73 | -4.12 |
| F | Bias exceeds -7%when HbF content exceeds + 7%.¹ |
Hemoglobin Variant Study Results St
A negative bias with HbF is independent of % HbA1c but is directly proportional in magnitude to the % HbF content.

Analytical performance The following discusses the lower limits of detection and linearity. (continued)
Lower Limits of Detection
LoB (Limit of Blank) and LoD (Limit of Detection) were determined according to CLSI EP 17-A.
LoB was determined using one analyte-free sample tested in five replicates on two cobas c 501 analyzers. LoD was determined using five low-analyte samples tested in singlicate on two cobas c 501 analyzers. Both LoB and LoD were evaluated for Hb and HbA 1c (g/dL). The tests were performed in two runs per day for three days per reagent batch with a total of three reagent batches.
LoB and LoD
| Hb (g/dL) | HbA1c (g/dL) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reagent Batch | LoB | LoD | LoB | LoD |
| 1 | 0.0380 | 0.0948 | 0.0097 | 0.0239 |
| 2 | 0.0210 | 0.0594 | 0.0079 | 0.0197 |
| 3 | 0.0445 | 0.1133 | 0.0163 | 0.0315 |
Linearity
Linearity was performed according to CLSI EP6-A for this submission and for 510(k) K102914. For this submission, a dilution series was prepared using a high analyte concentration sample pool and an analyte-free pool. The pools were mixed in different ratios to vield a 20-level dilution series with varying concentrations of Hb and HbA1c. Values were measured in triplicate for each level. The median values were compared to the theoretical values and regressed.
The linearity results from this study and from the one included in 510(k) K102914 support the claimed reportable range.
