Controls and related products

Regular use of QuikRead go HbA1c Control Set is recommended. 


The control set includes
  • QuikRead go HbA1c Control, approx. 37-48 mmol/mol
  • QuikRead go HbA1c Control High approx. 69-80 mmol/mol

    HbA1c as a marker

    HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin A1) is a well-known analyte and it is standardized by the National and International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC). Because the value of HbA1c has high significance for treatment, reliable and accurate measurement is important.1

    HbA1c gives estimate of long-term blood glucose levels

    • Hemoglobin A1 is the most common hemoglobin type in red blood cells.
    • Glycated hemoglobin A1 (HbA1c) forms when blood glucose binds non-enzymatically the hemoglobin A1 in a normal physiological process. Increased glucose levels increase the levels of HbA1c.2
    • The glucose stays bound on the hemoglobin over the lifespan of red blood cells. Therefore, HbA1c represents the average blood glucose levels of the past two to three months.2,3

    HbA1c is convenient tool to support effective diabetes care

    • Convenience for the patient: It does not require fasting and finger prick and venous sample work equally well4.
    • Reproducible testing: It is preanalytically more stable than glucose5.
    • Testing can be done anytime: It has lower day-to-day variation than glucose4,6,7.

    HbA1c at the POC

    Improved treatment results

    Point of care HbA1c testing has shown to improve diabetes management, patient’s commitment to treatment and patient satisfaction. These are leading to improved glycemic control and reduced risk of harmful and expensive comorbidities. It also has potential to reduce the health care costs. 1-5

    Earlier identification of diabetes

    Standardized HbA1c tests are increasingly recommended as an option to screen patients for type 2 diabetes or hyperglycemia6-8. Nearly half of people with type 2 diabetes are undiagnosed7. Point of care HbA1c tests can help identification of patients and starting the appropriate treatment as early as possible9.
