Intended Use

The D-100™ HbA1c test is intended for the quantitative determination of hemoglobin A1c (IFCC mmol/mol and NGSP %) in human whole blood using ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on the D-100 Hemoglobin Testing System.

Hemoglobin A1c measurements are used as an aid in diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, as an aid to identify patients who may be at risk for developing diabetes mellitus, and for the monitoring of long-term blood glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus.

The D-100TM HbA1c test is intended for Professional Use Only.

Calibrators:

The D-100™ HbA1c Calibrator Pack is for the calibration of the D-100 Hemoglobin Testing System used for the quantitative determination of hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) in human whole blood.

Device Description

The Bio-Rad D-100™ HbA1c utilizes principles of ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A high-pressure pumping system delivers a buffer solution to an analytical cartridge and detector. Whole blood samples undergo an automatic hemolysis and dilution process before being introduced into the analytical flow path. Prediluted samples are identified based upon the use of a microvial adapter in the sample rack, and the automatic dilution step is omitted.

A programmed buffer gradient of increasing ionic strength delivers the sample to the analytical cartridge where the hemoglobin species are separated based upon their ionic interactions with the cartridge material and the buffer gradient. The separated hemoglobin species then pass through the flow cell where changes in the absorbance are measured at 415 nm and recorded as a digital chromatogram.

The software performs an analysis of the hemoglobin peaks in the chromatogram, recording information including retention time, peak area, and relative are percent. Any peaks that are identified as the target analyte(s) are calibrated before generating a sample report and chromatogram for each sample. The software includes an optional feature (Advisor) that compares the sample report against a set of rules that are programmed to take user-specified actions.

The D-100™ HbA1c test is designed to be used on the D-100™ Hemoglobin Testing System.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Precision/Reproducibility:
    • Sample Size: Four EDTA whole blood samples at target HbA1c concentrations (~5%, ~6.5%, ~8%, ~12%) and five quality control materials.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but typically these samples would be from a clinical setting. Retrospective or prospective is not specified. The study was conducted at "two different sites."
  • Linearity:
    • Sample Size: Low (3.5% HbA1c) and high (20% HbA1c) EDTA whole blood patient samples, mixed in varying ratios to create 11 sample pools.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but these are patient samples. Retrospective or prospective is not specified.
  • Method Comparison:
    • Sample Size: 129 variant-free whole blood EDTA samples.
    • Data Provenance: Patient samples. Retrospective or prospective is not specified.
  • Analytical Specificity (Endogenous Interference):
    • Sample Size: Two EDTA whole blood sample pools (one at ~6.5% HbA1c and one at ~8.0% HbA1c) for each interferent, with 10 replicates per test and control sample.
    • Data Provenance: Whole blood samples. Serum samples were used for Rheumatoid factor, lipemia, and total protein (with known high concentrations), then mixed with whole blood. Retrospective or prospective is not specified.
  • Analytical Specificity (Drug Interference):
    • Sample Size: Two EDTA whole blood sample pools (one at ~6.5% HbA1c and one at ~8.0% HbA1c) for each drug, with 10 replicates per test and control sample.
    • Data Provenance: Whole blood samples. Retrospective or prospective is not specified.

    • Data Provenance: Patient samples known to contain specific hemoglobin variants. Retrospective or prospective is not specified.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

For this in vitro diagnostic device, human experts are not directly used to establish the ground truth for the test set in the way they might be for image-based diagnostic AI. Instead, the ground truth is established through:

  • Reference Methods:
    • Precision/Reproducibility: No separate "ground truth" establishment by experts listed, as it measures the device's inherent variability.
    • Linearity: No separate "ground truth" establishment by experts listed; it assesses the device's response across a range compared to theoretical values.
    • Method Comparison: The reference method was a "secondary NGSP SRL reference laboratory using a cleared HPLC-based HbA1c assay," implying highly controlled and standardized laboratory procedures.
    • Analytical Specificity & Hemoglobin Variant Study: Comparison to "control" samples or an "NGSP reference method that has been demonstrated to be free from the hemoglobin interferent."

The "experts" in this context are the highly trained laboratory professionals and the robust, standardized analytical methods used in the reference laboratories (e.g., NGSP SRL reference laboratory). Specific number or individual qualifications of these professionals beyond "NGSP SRL reference laboratory" are not detailed in this summary.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable in the typical sense of expert adjudication (e.g., 2+1, 3+1 for imaging studies). The comparison is against established laboratory reference methods and defined control samples, which serve as the gold standard. Discrepancies would be resolved through re-testing or investigation per standard laboratory quality control protocols, not through a formal expert adjudication panel.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This is an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device, specifically an automated chemical analyzer (HPLC) for quantitative measurement of HbA1c. There are no "human readers" or "AI assistance" in the context of interpreting images or complex data as would be found in traditional MRMC studies for AI-powered diagnostics. The device completely automates the measurement.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, the studies presented are all standalone. The D-100™ HbA1c test and its associated system perform the quantitative determination of HbA1c without human intervention during the measurement process itself, beyond initial sample loading and system operation. The performance metrics (precision, linearity, method comparison, analytical specificity) are all measures of the device's inherent analytical capability.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used is primarily:

  • Reference Method / Standardized Assays: For method comparison, the device's results were compared to "testing performed at a secondary NGSP SRL reference laboratory using a cleared HPLC-based HbA1c assay." For the Hemoglobin Variant study, it was compared to an "NGSP reference method that has been demonstrated to be free from the hemoglobin interferent."
  • Known Concentrations/Prepared Samples: For linearity, known ratios of low and high concentration samples were used. For analytical specificity studies, interferents were prepared at known concentrations and spiked into samples.
  • Certified Materials: The calibrators are traceable to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) reference method and are NGSP certified.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable in the context of this device. The D-100™ HbA1c system is an HPLC-based analytical instrument. It is not an "algorithm" in the sense of a machine learning or AI model that requires a training set for model development. Its "training" involves calibration with certified reference materials (the Calibrator Pack), which are part of the overall analytical system.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable as there is no "training set" for an AI algorithm in the traditional sense. The calibration process (which could be conceptually analogous to "training" for an analytical instrument) uses the D-100™ HbA1c Calibrator Pack. The ground truth for these calibrators is established by:

  • Traceability to IFCC Reference Method: "Each Calibrator Pack contains Calibrator values which have been value assigned using secondary calibrators that are traceable to the International federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) reference method."
  • NGSP Certification: The assay is NGSP certified, meaning its results correlate to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) reference method.

b. Linearity

A linearity study was performed per CLSI EP06-A: Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measuring Procedures; A Statistical Approach. Linearity across the reportable range was performed using low (3.5%HbA1c) and high (20%HbA1c) EDTA whole blood patient samples. These samples were mixed together in varying ratios. The measured values were compared to the theoretical values based upon the dilution factor. Polynomial regression analysis (for first, second, and third order polynomials) were performed to determine the statistical significance of non-linearity. The higher order coefficients were found not to be significant and linearity was demonstrated.

  • d. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (calibrators)
    The D-100 HbA1c test standardization is traceable to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) reference calibrators. The D-100 HbA1c assay is NGSP certified. The NGSP certification expires in one year. See NGSP website for current certification at http://www.ngsp.org. The derived results of (%) from the NGSP correlation are calculated from the individual quantitative results for Hemogloblin A1c (HbA1c). The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) units of mmol/mol are calculated using the Master Equation NGSP (%) = 0.09148 x IFCC (mmol/mol) + 2.152. HbA1c results are provided to the customers using two different units: NGSP equivalent units (%) and IFCC equivalent units (mmol/mol).

Calibrator Materials:

Value assignment for D-100™ HbA1c Calibrators are traceable to IFCC reference method and can be transferred to DCCT/NGSP by calculation.

Stability:

Shelf life claims: Un-opened calibrators can be stored at 2-8°C until the expiration date or for 24 months.

Open-vial claims: The recommended storage condition for in-use calibrators is one day. On-board stability for the D-100 HbA1c calibrator pack and reagents demonstrated 90 days stability on the D-100 Hemoglobin Testing System.

e. Analytical specificity:

  • Endogenous Interference i.)
    An Endogenous Interference study was performed per CLSI EP07-A2, Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry. Two EDTA whole blood sample pools were evaluated using a low level whole blood sample with a concentration ~6.5%HbA1c and a high level whole blood sample with a concentration of HbA1c of ~8.0%.

Conjugated bilirubin, unconjugated bilirubin and glucose, available in pure

{14}------------------------------------------------

form, were obtained and stock solutions prepared at 10x the intended test concentration. The 10x stock solution of the test substance was pipetted into a low whole blood sample pool (at ~6.5% HbA1c) and a high whole blood sample pool (~8.0% HbA1c), making the test pool. Ten replicates of each pool prepared with the test and control samples were analyzed using the D-100™ HbA1c on the D-100™Hemoglobin Testing System.

Rheumatoid factor, lipemia and total protein were not available as pure standards therefore serum samples with known concentration of these compounds were used. The test pool was prepared by mixing the serum sample known to have a high test substance concentration with a whole blood non-variant sample such that the concentration of test substance in the final mixture would be at the desired level. Ten replicates of each pool prepared with the test and control samples were analyzed using the D-100™ HbA1c on the D-100™ Hemoglobin Testing System.

Significant interference was defined as a ± 7% change in %HbA1c value from the control. Results in Table 17 showed no significant interference up to the stated concentrations.

iii.) Cross Reactivity with Hemoglobin Derivatives:

A Hemoglobin Derivatives Interference study was performed based on CLSI EP07-A2, Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry. Potential interference from Acetylated hemogloblin (Hb), Carbamylated hemoglobin (Hb) and Labile HbA1c were evaluated using a low level whole blood EDTA sample with a concentration ~6.5%HbA1c and a high level whole blood EDTA sample with a concentration of

{16}------------------------------------------------

~8.0% HbA1c. The potentially interfering hemoglobin derivatives were spiked into the low and high level blood samples and each sample was analyzed using ten replicates each in the same analytical run on the D-100™ Hemoglobin Testing System with the D-100™HbA1c.

Significant interference was defined as more than a ±7% change in HbA1c value from the control. The test result conclusions are as follows:

  • . Acetylated Hb- up to 50 mg/dL does not interfere with this assay.
  • Carbamylated Hb - up to 5% does not interfere with this assay.
  • Labile A1c- up to 1200 mg/dL of glucose does not interfere with this . assay.

Results showed there was no cross reactivity with these substances at physiological levels.

iv.) Hemoqlobin Variant Study:

A Hemoglobin Variant study was performed using specific variant samples known to contain hemoglobin variants S. C. E. D. A2 and F. Two whole blood EDTA patient samples containing an HbA1c ~6.5% and ~ 8% and the appropriate hemoglobin variant were tested. Testing of the samples containing hemoglobin variants S. C. E. D. A2 and F were performed in duplicate. Testing of the samples was performed using the D-100™ HbA1c on the D-100™ Hemoglobin Testing System and compared to results obtained by a NGSP reference method that has been demonstrated to be free from the hemoglobin interferent. Table 19 contains the number of samples, range of samples and concentration of samples used in the Hemoglobin Variant Study. Table 20 contains the results for the Hemoglobin Variant study bias.

Conclusion:

The information and data in this 510(k) document demonstrate that the D-100™ HbA1c test as performed on the D-100™Hemoglobin Testing System is an accurate, reliable, precise test that correlates well with current cleared methods and NGSP standardized testing for the quantitation of HbA1c. The contents of this submission demonstrates that the D-100™ HbA1c test as performed on the D-100™ Hemoglobin Testing System is substantially equivalent to its predicate device, VARIANT II TURBO HbA1c Kit - 2.0 and, therefore, safe and effective for its intended use. The performance criteria as stipulated by the Special Controls requirements for HbA1c systems that diagnose diabetes have clearly been met. The D-100™ HbA1c must be found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate and, therefore, cleared by the agency for the intended use requested.

§ 862.1373 Hemoglobin A1c test system.

(a)
Identification. A hemoglobin A1c test system is a device used to measure the percentage concentration of hemoglobin A1c in blood. Measurement of hemoglobin A1c is used as an aid in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and as an aid in the identification of patients at risk for developing diabetes mellitus.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The device must have initial and annual standardization verification by a certifying glycohemoglobin standardization organization deemed acceptable by FDA.
(2) The premarket notification submission must include performance testing to evaluate precision, accuracy, linearity, and interference, including the following:
(i) Performance testing of device precision must, at a minimum, use blood samples with concentrations near 5.0 percent, 6.5 percent, 8.0 percent, and 12 percent hemoglobin A1c. This testing must evaluate precision over a minimum of 20 days using at least three lots of the device and three instruments, as applicable.
(ii) Performance testing of device accuracy must include a minimum of 120 blood samples that span the measuring interval of the device and compare results of the new device to results of a standardized test method. Results must demonstrate little or no bias versus the standardized method.
(iii) Total error of the new device must be evaluated using single measurements by the new device compared to results of the standardized test method, and this evaluation must demonstrate a total error less than or equal to 6 percent.
(iv) Performance testing must demonstrate that there is little to no interference from common hemoglobin variants, including Hemoglobin C, Hemoglobin D, Hemoglobin E, Hemoglobin A2, and Hemoglobin S.
(3) When assay interference from Hemoglobin F or interference with other hemoglobin variants with low frequency in the population is observed, a warning statement must be placed in a black box and must appear in all labeling material for these devices describing the interference and any affected populations.
