The TAP Blood Collection® Device is a lithium heparin coated single use device intended to collect capillary blood from the upper arm of adults (21 years of age or older). The TAP Blood Collection® Device is for measurement of HbAlc on blood specimens which can be collected by self-administration of the TAP Device by a layperson or by a healthcare worker in a healthcare setting. The collected sample is then transported for analysis in a clinical laboratory for determination of Hemoglobin Alc (HbA1c) using tests intended for monitoring glycemic control.

The TAP Blood Collection® Device (herein “TAP Device”) is a single-use, sterilized whole blood specimen collection and transportation device that uses a combination of two mechanisms, capillary action and vacuum extraction, to obtain a capillary blood sample from the upper arm. The device contains lithium heparin as an anticoagulant. The device is intended for self-administration by a layperson or by a healthcare worker. When the TAP Device is actuated, it collects the sample in an integrated reservoir and provides a visual indicator (fill indicator window) to the end user to confirm that the collection is complete and sufficient blood has been collected to conduct HbA1c testing. The sample collection time is 7 minutes or less and typically takes 2-3 minutes. The TAP Device is then sent to the laboratory for testing. The sample must be tested within 6 hours from time of collection or as indicated in the HbA1c test system package insert (whichever is less).
