Intended Use
Medconn Glycated Hemoglobin Test System is intended for the quantitative determination of hemoglobin A1c (IFCC mmol/mol and NGSP %) in human whole blood or hemolysate with ion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using the Medconn HbA1c Assay Kit (HPLC) on the Medconn Glycated Hemoglobin Analyzer, models MQ3000 and MQ3000PT. Hemoglobin A1c measurements are used as an aid in diagnosis of diabetes, 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.
Device Description
The Medconn Glycated Hemoglobin Test System is intended for the quantitative determination of hemoglobin A1c (IFCC mmol/mol and NGSP %) in human venous blood or hemolysate using ion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on the Medconn Glycated Hemoglobin analyzer, models MQ-3000 and MQ-3000PT. 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. Manually hemolyzed and prediluted samples loaded in sample cups at designated location are directly introduced for analysis. 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 415nm 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 peak area of the detected substance over the total peak area of all substances. Peaks identified as target analytes are calibrated to generate a report and a chromatogram for each sample. Medconn Glycated Hemoglobin Test system contains the following components: - Medconn Glycated Hemoglobin analyzer - Medconn HbA1c Assay Kit (HPLC) - Medconn Hemoglobin A1c Calibrator - Medconn Hemoglobin A1c Control - Medconn HbA1c Column Kit (HPLC) - Medconn HbA1c Haemolyser

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

Analytical Performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility: Evaluated based on CLSI EP05-A3. Four K2-EDTA whole blood samples and two-level quality control products were analyzed in duplicate, twice a day, with three lots of reagents, over 20 non-consecutive days, on three MQ-3000 Glycated Hemoglobin Analyzers with two operation modes (whole blood mode and dilution mode). For each sample, there were 720 measurements. Results are provided in tables for %CV by sample for both whole blood mode (NGSP% and IFCC mmol/mol) and dilution mode (NGSP% and IFCC mmol/mol) across three instruments and combined.
b. Linearity: A linearity study was performed based on CLSI EP06-A2. Linearity across the reportable range/measuring range was performed using altered patient samples collected using K2-EDTA.

  • Dilution mode: Samples ranged from 3.0% (9.3 mmol/mol) to 15.1% (141.5 mmol/mol) HbA1c, mixed in varying ratios to obtain 9 intermediate levels. Eleven test samples were run three times with 3 lots of reagents on one instrument.
  • Whole blood mode: Samples ranged from 3.0% (9.3 mmol/mol) to 15.1% (141.5 mmol/mol) HbA1c, mixed in varying ratios to obtain 9 intermediate levels. Eleven test samples were run three times with 3 lots of reagents on one instrument.
  • Key Results: Maximum Bias (mean) between observed and theoretical values were +/- 0.1 (NGSP %) and +/- 1 (IFCC mmol/mol). Regression parameters (slope, intercept, R2) for both modes were presented in tables, showing high R2 values (e.g., 0.9998-1.0000). The study supported the claimed measuring range of 3.0% to 15.0% HbA1c (9.3-140.5 mmol/mol).
    c. Traceability: Medconn Glycated Hemoglobin Test System standardization is traceable to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) reference calibrators. Certified via NGSP.
    d. Detection limit: Not applicable.
    e. Analytical specificity:
  • Endogenous Interference: Performed per CLSI EP07-A3. Two EDTA whole blood sample pools (~6.5% and ~8.0% HbA1c) were evaluated. Interfering substances included Unconjugated Bilirubin, Conjugated Bilirubin, glucose, lipemia (Triglycerides), Rheumatoid factor, and Total Protein. Significant interference was defined as a +/- 6% change in %HbA1c value. No significant interference observed up to stated concentrations.
  • Drug Interference: Performed per CLSI EP07-A3. Two EDTA whole blood sample pools (~6.5% and ~8.0% HbA1c) were evaluated. No significant interference observed at therapeutic levels up to stated concentrations for substances like Ascorbic acid, Acetylcysteine, Ampicillin-Na, Cefoxitin, Heparin, Levodopa, Methyldopa, Metronidazole, Doxycyclin, Rifampicin, Cyclosporine, Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, and Theophylline, and Phenylbutazone.
  • Cross Reactivity with Hemoglobin Derivatives: Performed per CLSI EP07-A3. Evaluated Acetylated Hb, Carbamylated Hb, and Labile HbA1c. No significant interference (defined as > +/- 6% change) observed at physiological levels.
  • Hemoglobin Variant Interference: Two studies performed using normal and diabetic whole blood EDTA patent variant samples with HbS, C, E, D, A2, and F. Samples were tested in duplicate using MQ-3000 and compared to reference methods (Trinity Biotech Premier Hb9210, Bio-Rad VARIANT II, Tosoh HLC-723G8). No significant interference observed for HbC (

b.Linearity

A linearity study was performed based on CLSI EP06-A2: Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measuring Procedures, 2nd Edition; Linearity across the reportable range/measuring range was performed using altered patient samples collected using K2-EDTA.

Dilution mode: Samples were prepared by diluting the high concentration samples and the low concentration samples with the Medconn HbA1C Haemolyser to obtain a low HbA1c of 3.0% (9.3 mmol/mol) and a high HbA1c of 15.1% (141.5 mmol/mol). These high and low samples were mixed together in varying ratios to obtain 9 additional intermediate sample levels. The eleven test samples (high, low and 9 intermediates) were run three times with 3 lots of reagents on one instrument; measured values were compared to theoretical values.

Whole blood mode: A low HbA1c of 3.0% (9.3 mmol/mol) and a high HbA1c of 15.1% (141.5 mmol/mol) were mixed together in varying ratios to obtain 9 additional intermediate sample levels. The eleven test samples (high, low and 9 intermediates) were run three times with 3 lots of reagents on one instrument with two operation modes(dilution mode and whole blood mode); measured values were compared to theoretical values.

The maximum Bias(mean) between observed value and theoretical value were ± 0.1(NGSP %) and ±1(IFCC mmol/mol).

The regression parameters (slope, intercept, and R2) were the following:

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):

Traceability:
Medconn Glycated Hemoglobin Test System standardization is traceable to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) reference calibrators.

HbA1c results are provided to users in two different units: NGSP equivalent units (%) and IFCC equivalent units (mmol/mol). Results in % HbA1c from the NGSP correlation are calculated from the individual quantitative results for Hemoglobin A1c. The IFCC units of mmol/mol are calculated using the Master Equation: NGSP (%) = 0.09148 x IFCC (mmol/mol) + 2.152.

d. Detection limit:

Not applicable.

e. Analytical specificity:

An Endogenous Interference study was performed per CLSI EP07-A3, 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%.

Unconjugated Bilirubin, Conjugated Bilirubin, glucose and lipemia(Triglycerides), available in pure 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 MQ-3000 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 MQ-3000 Testing System.

Significant interference was defined as a ± 6% change in %HbA1c value from the control. Results in Table 9 showed no significant interference up to the stated concentrations.

ii. Drug Interference

A Drug Interference study was performed based per CLSI EP07-A3, 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 ~8.0%HbA1c. Ten replicates of each drug prepared with the test and control samples were analyzed using the MQ-3000 Testing System.

With Hplc, the red cells are lysed and eluted across the column for separation of the hemoglobin fractions. Research of the FDA website and others show no Contraindication of Levodopa, Methyldopa, Acetaminophen and ibuprofen when used by pre-diabetic or diabetic patients, and the drugs do not interfere with the Hplc technology as they might during an antigen antibody reaction, FDA stated that based On the technology of the device, it has been shown that the additional substances do not appear to interfere with this type of device, therefore, the additional interference data on these drugs was not needed.

Significant interference was defined as a more than ± 6% change in %HbA1c value from the control. No significant interference was observed at therapeutic levels up to the stated concentrations in Table 10 on the following page.

iii. Cross Reactivity with Hemoglobin Derivatives

A Hemoglobin Derivatives Interference study was performed based on CLSI EP07-A3, 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 ~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 MQ-3000 Testing System.

Significant interference was defined as more than a ±6% change in HbA1c value from the control. The test result conclusions are as follows:

• Acetylated Hb (Acetylsalicylic acid up to 500 mg/dL) does not interfere with this assay.
• Carbamylated Hb (Potassium cyanate up to 10 mg/dL ) does not interfere with this assay.
• Labile A1c- ( Glucose up to 2000 mg/dL, Acetaldehyde up to 60 mg/dL) does not interfere with this assay.

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

iv. Hemoglobin Variant Interference

Two hemoglobin variant studies were performed using a panel of normal and diabetic whole blood EDTA patent variant samples known to contain hemoglobin variants S, C, E, D, A2 and F. Testing of the samples containing hemoglobin variants S, C, E, D , A2 and F were performed in duplicate using the MQ-3000 Testing System and compared to results obtained by a reference method that has been demonstrated to be free from interference with the hemoglobin variant being tested (Trinity Biotech Premier Hb9210,Bio-Rad VARIANT II Hemoglobin Testing System and Tosoh Automated Glycohemoglobin Analyzer HLC-723G8).

(2) Comparison studies

a. Method comparison with a standardized test method:

A Method comparison study was performed per CLSI EP09c 3rd Edition, Measurement Procedure Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples. 124 variant-free whole blood K2-EDTA samples, ranging from 3.0% to 15.0% HbA1c were evaluated using MQ-3000 and MQ-3000PT analyzer on the Medconn Glycated Hemoglobin Test system. 124 samples were tested, and the results were compared to testing performed at by a NGSP Secondary Reference Laboratory using a previously cleared HPLC HbAlc assay method (BIO-RAD D-100 analyzer). To support the diagnostic claim, the distribution of samples spanned around the clinical decision point as follows in the table below.
