This device is an in-vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of HbA1c in venous whole blood samples for monitoring long-term glucose control in persons with diabetes. It is not used for direct treatment or diagnosis, but rather provides information for clinical decision-making.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "This test is not to be used to diagnose or screen for diabetes." Instead, it is used for "monitoring long-term glucose control of persons with diabetes."

No

The device is a test kit comprised of reagents, calibrators, and controls, which are physical components. While it is used with an automated chemistry analyzer that has software, the device itself is not solely software.

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 test kit is intended for "in-vitro diagnostic use only." It also describes the quantitative determination of stable HbA in venous whole blood samples, which is a diagnostic measurement performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The description details reagents, calibrators, and controls used for testing biological samples (whole blood).
  • Performance Studies: The document describes various performance studies (precision, linearity, method comparison) conducted to validate the assay's performance for diagnostic purposes in a clinical laboratory setting.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is a "clinical laboratory," which is where IVD tests are typically performed.

All of these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The Diazyme Direct HbA1c Assay (Enzymatic, On-Board Lysis) test kit is comprised of Reagent 1, Reagent 2, and Lysis Buffer. The Diazyme Direct HbA1c Assay Calibrator Set contains 2 levels of human whole blood based lyophilized calibrators. The Diazyme Direct HbA1c Assay Control Set contains 2 levels of human whole blood based lyophilized controls. The device performs an enzymatic assay where lysed whole blood samples undergo protease digestion, releasing glycated valines. These glycated valines act as substrates for a specific recombinant fructosyl valine oxidase (FVO) enzyme, which cleaves N-terminal valines and produces hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide is then measured using a horseradish peroxidase (POD) catalyzed reaction and a suitable chromogen. This direct assay does not require a separate measurement for total Hemoglobin (Hb). The test is intended for quantitative determination of stable HbA1c in venous whole blood samples with on-board blood lysis. The device is used with an automated chemistry analyzer (Roche Modular P), which performs automatic on-board 1:12.5 dilution of the sample with lysis buffer.

Description of the Device

Clinical Significance

Hemoglobin A1c is an important test recommended by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and its usefulness was clarified by the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) and Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT). Currently, as part of the diabetes management program, HbA1c testing should be performed at least biannually in all patients and quarterly for patients whose therapy has changed or who are not meeting treatment goals. Glycohemoglobin is produced by non-enzymatic addition of glucose to amino groups in hemoglobin. HbA1c refers to glucose modified hemoglobin A (HbA) specifically at N-terminal

5

valine residues of hemoglobin beta chains. HbA1c test is used both as an index of mean glycemia and as a measure of risk for the development of diabetes complications. Therefore, the HbA1c test is a good indicator of glycemic control in the preceding 2-3 months.

Assay Principle

Diazyme Direct HbA1c test is an enzymatic assay in which lysed whole blood samples are subjected to extensive protease digestion with Bacillus sp protease. This process releases amino acids including glycated valines from the hemoglobin beta chains. Glycated valines then serve as substrates for specific recombinant fructosyl valine oxidase (FVO) enzyme. The recombinant FVO specifically cleaves N-terminal valines and produces hydrogen peroxide. This, in turn, is measured using a horseradish peroxidase (POD) catalyzed reaction and a suitable chromogen. No separate measurement for total Hemoglobin (Hb) is needed in this Direct HbA1c Assay.

Detailer Device Description

    1. The Diazyme Direct HbA1c assay kit (Enzymatic, On-Board Lysis) is comprised of a Reagent 1, Reagent 2, Lysis Buffer.
    1. Diazyme Direct HbA1c Assay Calibrator Set: 2 levels, human whole blood based in lyophilized form. It is intended to be used for calibration of Diazyme Direct HbA1c Assay (Enzymatic, On-Board Lysis).
    1. Diazyme Direct HbA1c Assay Control Set: 2 levels, human whole blood based in lyophilized form. It is intended to be used for quality control by monitoring accuracy and precision of Diazyme Direct HbA1c Assay (Enzymatic, On-Board Lysis).

The verification and/or validation studies were performed on the automated chemistry analyzer Roche Modular P (K953239/005). Modular P analyzer is a high through-put automated chemistry analyzer and that can process 800 samples per hour. The predicate performance studies at submission were performed on Hitachi 917 which is an obsolete member of the Roche Mod P Roche family of instruments. The Control Unit of the Roche Modular P analyzer uses a graphical interface to control all instrument functions. The computer, keyboard, and touchscreen monitor allows users to navigate through the software, enter assay, calibrator, and control information, and make test selections. The Diazyme Direct HbA1c Assay Modular P application parameters provided are programmed into the Modular P analyzers. The reagents, calibrators and controls are loaded into the analyzer. The Roche Modular P stores the Diazyme Direct HbA1c Assay reagents in a refrigerated compartment. Reagent and sample pipettes automatically aspirate and dispense specified amounts of reagents or calibrators, controls, and samples into reaction cells. The change in absorbance is measured at specified wavelengths.

Assay Scheme for Roche Modular P Analyzer

Use the following scheme as a guideline for analyzer application. Note: Diazyme Direct HbA1c Assay is an end-point assay and the first reading point A1 is right before the addition of reagent R2.

Image /page/6/Figure/0 description: This image shows a timeline of a process. At 0 minutes, 10 uL of blood, 125 uL of lysis buffer, and 128 uL of R1 are added. At 5 minutes, 56 uL of R2 is added, and A1 is measured at 700 nm. At 8 minutes, A2 is measured.

After a 2-point calibration, linear-fitting is used to fit calibration curve through mean values of the response for calibrators of known concentrations. The Roche Modular P calculates the HbA1c% concentration of a patient sample by interpolation of the obtained signal to a stored 2point calibration curve.

#: The Modular P analyzer performs automatic on-board 1: 12.5 dilution using lysis buffer (10 uL sample + 125 uL lysis buffer) for rapid blood sample lysis.
