Quality Requirements and Standards
The fifth part of an extended discussion of HbA1c methods and the analytical quality necessary for patient care. When we say HbA1c, do we all agree on what is actually being measured by the test?
The fourth part of an extended discussion of HbA1c methods and the analytical quality necessary for patient care. This lesson draws on the January 2010 issue of Clinical Chemistry, which had a full-fledged evaluation study on Point-of-Care HbA1c instruments, as well as the February 2010 issue of Clinical Laboratory News, and a 2009 abstract of the performance of 2 new HbA1c methods.

The January 2010 issue of Clinical Chemistry had a full-fledged evaluation study on Point-of-Care HbA1c instruments. Surprisingly, it found that most of these POC devices do not provide enough analytical quality. Here's an extended discussion of what this means.
