Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) monitoring system IVD, point-of-care (A collection of devices including a portable, electrically-powered, semi-automated or automated instrument (meter), reagents, and/or other associated disposable materials (e.g., lancet) intended to be used exclusively at the point-of-care by medical professionals for the quantitative measurement of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in a whole blood clinical specimen. The measurement is typically based on an immunological method (e.g., immunoassay) and/or spectrophotometry, and is used to evaluate the long-term control of blood glucose concentration, primarily in persons with diabetes mellitus.)
