The device description and performance studies focus on a sample collection kit and laboratory analysis using HPLC, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
This device is a sample collection kit used for diagnostic purposes (monitoring hemoglobin Arc levels for diabetes control), not for direct therapy or treatment.
Yes
Explanation: The device is used for the "determination of the relative percent (%) hemoglobin Arc in human whole blood (capillary) samples," for the purpose of "monitoring individual, long-term diabetes control." This indicates it gathers information about a patient's health condition (diabetes control) for diagnostic or monitoring purposes, which falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical kit containing various hardware components such as vials, capillary tubes, biohazard bags, mailers, and a shipper. It is a sample collection kit, not a software application.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "for the determination of the relative percent (%) hemoglobin Arc in human whole blood (capillary) samples, using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)as the analytical method." This clearly describes a test performed on a biological sample (human whole blood) to obtain information about a medical condition (diabetes control via hemoglobin Arc levels).
- Sample Type: The device is designed to collect and prepare "human whole blood (capillary) samples."
- Analytical Method: The intended analytical method is "high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)," which is a laboratory-based technique used for diagnostic testing.
- Purpose: The purpose is "for the purpose of monitoring individual, long-term diabetes control as part of a comprehensive diabetes management & treatment program." This indicates the results are used for medical purposes.
- Reporting Path: The results are intended to be reported to "the physician/health care professional responsible for the care of the individual for clinical interpretation" and potentially to the patient. This further supports its use in a diagnostic context.
While the kit itself is a collection and preparation system, its sole purpose is to facilitate an in vitro diagnostic test (the HPLC analysis of the collected blood sample). The kit is an integral part of the overall diagnostic process.

Device Description
The Accu-Base Hemoglobin Are Sample Collection Kit is packaged in two sizes or configurations designed for professional use. One kit is designed for patient take home use and is available in a one (1), two (2) and three (3) test kit configuration. The other, the (Point of Care Kit) is designed with ten (10) tests for in-office use. The Point of Care Kit is ideal for the physician's office, clinic, small hospital and/or diabetes clinic and/or laboratory.
The at-home kit is designed to be used by qualified patients (physician discretion) in the privacy and convenience of their home. The at-home kit is designed to facilitate the collection, preparation, storage and transport of capillary (fingerstick) hemoglobin Are patient samples for laboratory analysis while providing empowerment and self-management training for the patient. The kit contains sufficient supplies and materials to collect either 1, 2 or 3 individual HbAic patient samples including:
1 durable self-contained shipper with built in labeled workstation.
1, 2 or 3 vials of (1 ml of hemolysis reagent),
- 1 capillary tube holder,
2-5 Na Heparinized 5ul capillary tubes (in labeled capillary dispenser) depending on the actual number of tests in the kit.
1-3 biohazard specimen bags with absorbent pads for airtight sample transport.
1-3 positive patient ID laboratory forms with peel off ID labels that are attached to the hemolysis vials (sample preparation vials).
1-3 sample mailers (pre-addressed/postage paid) to designated laboratory.
Kit contents continued:
1 patient size HbAıc longitudinal tracking log. Product insert (Information & Instructions Booklet) 1 Mean Blood Glucose Monitoring Journal Toll free (24 hour) technical assistance line 888-872-2443
Note: Once the sample is collected and prepared, the Red Blood Cells (sample) Are hemolyzed. Schiff base removed and the sample is preserved for analysis and/or freezing for future analysis.
in both cases, the finger, ear lobe or heal (pediatric patient/infants), is pierced (lanced) using a traditional sterile, disposable lancet device (SafeLet). The patient and/or care provider is instructed to lance the finger, wipe away the first drop, milk the finger toward the puncture site and collect the second drop of blood. A capillary tube is attached to a capillary tube and is filled with whole blood from the finger, the tube is filled from end to end (approximately 5ul of blood). The capillary tube is than wiped of any excess blood and placed in the open vial containing the hemolysis reagent.
The vial is closed tightly and gently rotated to mix the sample with the hemolysis reagent (ensuring that all of the blood has transferred from the capillary tube to the surrounding reagent. (no blood or RED line will be visible in the tube once the vial has been properly mixed. The solution will be a heterogeneous light to dark pink color). The vial is labeled using the peel off label provided on the Patient Identification Form (sequenced number specific to that sample that are nonrepeating numbers).
The lab form ID number corresponds to the vial number for positive ID at the laboratory. The labeled and mixed sample is placed in a biohazard bag, which also contains instructions for use to ensure proper sample processing. The bag is sealed using self-adhesive tape to ensure an airtight seal of the specimen during transport. The sealed biohazard bag is then placed in the sample mailer along with the lab ID form and closed with sealing tape to ensure safe undisturbed transport of the sample to the designated laboratory.
The patient's sample can be dropped in the mail as soon as collected and prepared or placed in the refrigerator overnight if the sample is not going to be mailed the same day. The sample is stable for up to 14 days at room temperature and up to 21 days at refrigerated temperatures. The sample is considered pretreated and incubated when it arrives in the testing laboratory and can be immediately analyzed without any further treatment, dilution, elution or preparation. The lab verifies the patient name and ID number and performs the test using an automated Bio-Rad Laboratories HPLC instrument such as the MDMD™, Variant™ or Diamat™ system).
The Point of Care (10 test kit), professional use kit is designed for low volume hospitals, clinical and large volume doctors offices. The kit includes sufficient supplies and materials to collect and process 10 samples. The kit includes patient chart size HbAıc tracking logs, The kits contain all of the supplies found in the smaller kits contained in a larger storage kit with the same printed instructions for use.

It is further intended that the copies of the patient's results may be sent to the patient, physician and other entities as directed and approved by the physician and patient includina: insurance and managed care companies to whom these individuals are current members as part of a more comprehensive outcomes measurement program for diabetes.
Ordering of the kit for patient at-home use is determined by the physician qualifying the patient and/or care provided as to the individuals motivation to participate in self-management, their literacy level to follow written and visual instructions, visual impairment assessment (sight level), mental impairment assessment and physical impairment as well as their dexterity to complete the required collection steps.
Intended use of the kit includes HbAic samples from children (pediatrics) ages one and older (special consideration to hemoglobin F) is determined using HPLC during the first vear of life. While the kit is designed for use in children, it is not recommended to be collected by children and therefore a KEEK OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN label is posted on the kit.
The level of sample collection complexity can and should be compared to the use of a alucose meted by individuals with diabetes that are currently using and comfortable with using a SMBG Blood Glucose Meter.
In the case where a child, visually, mentally impaired or physically challenged individual is to have a sample collected at-home, a third person that has been trained and/or qualified on the use of the kit is responsible for assisting the patient with the sample collection. Easy to follow instruction and a toll free help line is available for these or any individual that requests assistance. In addition, the sample can be drawn (collected) by any health care professional, clinical laboratory, visiting nurse, and home health agency. Once the patient has been aualified to collect the sample at-home. follow-up kits can be automatically shipped to the patient as reauired (directed) by the physician.
To establish substantial equivalence to an existing (predicate device), and thus establish the Safety and Effectiveness of the Accu-Base Hemoglobin A ic Sample Collection kit, capillary samples were first compared to the traditional venipuncture method in adults and children with diabetes using the same Bio-Rad Diamat reagent analytical system and method (HPLC venous to capillary comparison). The 48 patient precision and accuracy study was preformed at the Diabetes Research Institute at the University of Miami. As the data indicates excellent correlation was achieved (0.99218). An additional 100 patient Clinical Trial (including a field user evaluation) was preformed with patients from the Tulane Endocrine Clinic over a several month period. The results were considered very acceptable for both precision of home to lab collected samples as well as the user feedback as to their acceptance and perception of the kit. 90% of patient's preferred the at-home kit over venipuncture and the clinical data
