Intended Use
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.
Device Description
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.

No
The description details a standard in vitro diagnostic immunoassay and analyzer, with no mention of AI/ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The calculations are based on established protocols (IFCC, NGSP).

No
This device is for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use, specifically to aid in the diagnosis of diabetes, by measuring HbA1c levels. It is not used to treat or prevent a disease.

Yes
The product's intended use explicitly states, "This test is to be used as an aid in diagnosis of diabetes..." which directly indicates its role as a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly outlines a reagent system and its use on a physical clinical chemistry analyzer (Roche/Hitachi cobas c 501). The process involves handling whole blood samples, on-board hemolysis, and measurement using a turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay, all of which are hardware-dependent processes.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the 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". This directly aligns 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.
  • Device Description: The description details how the test is performed on whole blood samples, which are specimens taken from the human body.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes various performance studies (precision, method comparison, interference, linearity, etc.) that are typical for validating an IVD device.

The entire document describes a test that is performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological specimen (whole blood) to provide diagnostic information.

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

Precision:
Precision was evaluated according to CLSI EP5-A2. It included evaluation of three reagent lots, three cobas c 501 analyzers, four native samples and two control samples, two aliquots per sample run in singlicate, two runs per day for 21 days. Results are in terms of % HbA Ic.

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.

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.

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.

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. Results show that no significant interference was observed.

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. There is no significant cross-reactivity with these hemoglobin derivatives at physiologically occurring concentrations.

Hemoglobin Variants Interference:
A hemoglobin variant interference study was performed using a total of 116 samples that contain one of six common hemoglobin variants (S, C, E, D, F, A2). 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.

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.

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 yield 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 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.

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.

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.

% Content of Variant | Range of
Concentration 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 |

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 Variant6.0 % HbA1c9.0 % HbA1c

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.

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.
