Generally

The quantitative HbA1c result can be used in monitoring the long-term blood glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus, as an aid in diagnosis of diabetes and in identifying patients at risk of developing diabetes mellitus. QuikRead go HbA1c is an in vitro diagnostic test for quantitative measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from a finger prick capillary blood or anticoagulated (EDTA or heparin) venous whole blood sample.

QuikRead go HbA1c provides you with

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.

Point of care HbA1c testing can make an impact

Person with diabetes chooses POC HbA1c for2,10

  • Immediate test result, plan for treatment and support for lifestyle changes
  • Avoiding excessive lab visits
  • Finger prick sample
  • No fasting needed

Healthcare provider chooses POC HbA1c for1,2,11

  • Better patient commitment Reaching all patients
  • Timely adjustment of treatment
  • Efficient working processes
  • Patient satisfaction
