FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date August 22, 2007
Product Code JJX
Device Class Class 1
Evidence 419 studies

The Extendsure Lyophilized HbA1c Linearity Controls were cleared via the FDA 510(k) pathway on August 22, 2007. Manufactured by Canterbury Scientific, this device is classified as a Class 1 product under the product code JJX.

What It Is

The Extendsure Lyophilized HbA1c Linearity Controls are quality control materials used in laboratory settings to verify the linearity and accuracy of HbA1c assays. These controls are lyophilized, meaning they are freeze-dried for stability and longevity, and are reconstituted with water before use. They help ensure that HbA1c measurements, crucial for diabetes management, are consistent and reliable across different testing platforms.

Clinical Applications

These controls are commonly used in clinical laboratories that perform HbA1c testing, which is critical for monitoring long-term glucose control in diabetic patients. They are particularly important in ensuring that the laboratory equipment is properly calibrated and that test results are accurate, which is essential for endocrinologists and primary care physicians managing diabetic patients. The device is suitable for use in hospital labs, reference labs, and point-of-care testing environments.

Indications for Use

The Extendsure Lyophilized HbA1c Linearity Controls are indicated for use in verifying the accuracy and linearity of HbA1c testing equipment. This is essential for ensuring that the test results used to manage diabetes are accurate and reliable.

Practical Considerations

These controls are typically provided in a range of concentrations to cover the clinically relevant range of HbA1c values. They are compatible with most HbA1c testing platforms. Reconstitution with water is required before use, and proper storage conditions should be maintained to ensure stability.

Related Literature

The linked study explored the chemical properties of Centaurium erythrea L. and its effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in experimental diabetes. It found that the plant extract has potential antihyperglycemic and antilipidemic activities, which could be beneficial in managing diabetes. However, the study was conducted in an experimental setting, and further research is needed to confirm these effects in clinical practice.
