Complete Product Description
The Drew Scientific DS5 HbA1c Measurement System is intended for the measurement of HvA1c in blood samples. The Drew Scientific DS5 HbA1c Measurement System's small size and ease of use makes it ideal for main laboratory, clinic or satellite laboratory settings. It is an ideal step up from manual or point-of-care systems.
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a very useful test in monitoring diabetic patients. It is a measure of the mean amount of blood glucose present in the patient over the previous 3 months and is therefore useful as a monitoring tool. In order to measure HvA1c it has to be separated from the non-glycated hemoglobin.

Drew Scientific DS5 HbA1c Measurement System Specifications
| Data Output |
| IResults are printed out using the integral printer. The printout shows a chromatogram so that result quality, retention time and HbA1c result, can be checked. Data can be transmitted via an RS232 port. The results for the last run are also stored on the integral disk drive. |
| Parameters |
| HbA1c %. Presence of normal and abnormal hemoglobins can be seen on the printout |
| Flagging |
| A full range of error codes are provided to aid in dealing with peculiar samples and troublshooting. |
| Performance and Standardization |
| The DS5 is NGSP certified to produce results equivalent to DCCT requirements. This means that the accuracy and precision of the DS5 meets all available standards for production of quality results. In addition to the DS5 kit, a DS5 calibrator is also avilable. This enables the user to calibrate the system to either of the internationally recognized standards, NGSP or IFCC. |
| Quality Control |
| The DS5 HbA1c controls are assayed independently to give values on the DS5. The controls are lyophilized and reconstituted with 0.3ml of water. Open vial stability, in common with regular blood samples, is one week. |
| Sample type/handling |
| Automatic sampling from a 15 position carousel containing pre-diluted samples. |
| Sample Volume |
| 20uL whole blood |
| Sample Cycle |
| 5uL whole blood. |
| Compliance |
| The DS5 is CE marked to be IVD compliant and is FDA 510K registered. |
