The A1c Now+ is a disposable monitor used for the quantitative measurement of A1c in finger-stick or venous whole blood samples. With one drop of blood (5uL) and just three simple steps, you will receive fast results representing your patient’s overall blood sugar management over the last 3 months. The testing device is light-weight and portable, and testing can be easily performed in a physician’s office or a public health testing event.

Results are available in 5 minutes. To ensure accuracy, the A1c Now+ utilizes both internal and external controls. Internally, the monitor performs over 50 internal chemical and electronic quality control checks with each test, including checks for potential hardware or software errors, and potential reagent strip errors. An error code is reported in place of a result if any quality check does not pass. External liquid controls are available for purchase in sets containing both levels 1 & 2. External controls offer additional confirmation of the stability and proper performance of the A1c Now+ reagents.
The A1c Now test is certified by the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) and therefore traceable to the DCCT. Furthermore, the test is factory calibrated with a set of blood samples that have been quantitated by a NGSP certified laboratory using a NGSP certified method. Since in-field calibration is neither needed nor possible, the user cannot alter the accuracy of the test. Allowing for the normal variation seen with all laboratory methods, a 7% HbA1c on A1c Now Plus will thus be, on average, the same as a 7% HbA1c on other instruments that are also calibrated to NGSP standards.
