HbA1c
meter: analyze long-term blood glucose levels directly at the point-of-care
In Germany, just under 10% of the population has diabetes (knowingly: 7.2%, unknowingly 2.1%). The so-called blood sugar long-term memory, the HbA1c value, plays an important role in the follow-up of diabetes patients. It provides information on whether a patient's blood sugar is well adjusted or whether the therapy needs to be changed.
What does the HbA1c value say?
The HbA1c value indicates how high the proportion of sugar-bound (glycated) haemoglobin is compared to "sugar-free" haemoglobin (millimoles per mole of haemoglobin) and thus reflects the mean blood sugar value. Elevated HbA1c values indicate that the patient's blood glucose has been elevated in the last 8-12 weeks. In healthy people, the HbA1c is around 30 mmol/mol or 5%.
Determine the HbA1c value directly in the practice with the CLOVER A1c measuring device
With the help of the CLOVER A1c®, the HbA1c value can be determined directly in your practice. You receive the test results immediately, in laboratory quality. This allows you to immediately assess whether the treatment is successful and the therapy can be adjusted directly in the patient consultation if necessary. There is no need for time-consuming follow-up telephone calls or additional visits to the patient. This saves valuable time and reduces the administrative burden.
Studies have confirmed that the therapy goal of glycaemic control is better achieved through immediate or prompt therapy adjustment in the case of increased HbA1c values. Patients follow therapy recommendations from direct patient-doctor discussions better. Two aspects that represent the best prerequisite for avoiding diabetic late effects.
Clover A1c: Advantages of point-of-care diagnostics
Easy
Three intuitive steps to the HbA1c value
No sample preparation
Only 4 µL capillary or venous blood per measurement needed
Storage of test cassettes at room temperature
Shelf life at least 12 months from manufacture
Step 1:
Open the lid of the
CLOVER A1c® and insert
a new test cassette
Step 2:
Take a sample with the
integrated in the reagent
capillary to take a
4 µL blood sample
Strep 3:
Place the reagent tray
into the test cassette.
As soon as you close
the lid, the measurement.
In 5 minutes you will
receive the result
Fast
Test results in 5 minutes
Capillary for blood sampling integrated in reagent carrier
Immediate adjustment of therapy during patient consultation
Improved workflow by eliminating waiting time for lab results
Reduction of administrative work:
No need to send samples to the laboratory
No need to contact the patient again to discuss the results
Comparison of methods versus the gold standard laboratory test method
The CLOVER A1c® system determines HbA1c values using the boronate affinity method. The comparison with the already established laboratory method, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC, Tosoh G7), which is NGSP-certified, shows the equivalence of both methods. Furthermore, the measuring method of the CLOVER A1c® system fulfils both IFCC and NGSP standards.
High precision of the boronate affinity method
How much the values of an analyte scatter - and thus the precision of the CLOVER A1c® - can be determined by repeatedly analysing the same sample. As can be seen on the graphs, the systematic measurement deviation with the CLOVER A1c® is very low even after 40 HbA1c measurements, which confirms the high precision of the system and its results.
