ACE Hemoglobin Ale (HbAlIc) Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of hemoglobin AlIe (pmol/l and total hemoglobin (g/dL) in human EDTA whole blood for the calculation of percent hemoglobin Ale using the ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System. The test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories to monitor long term blood glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

The ACE CEDIA T Uptake homogenous enzyme immunoassay is intended for the quantitative determination of unoccupied binding sties of thyroxine-binding proteins in serum using the ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System. Measurements of triiodothyronine uptake are used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disorders. This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

The ACE T4 Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of total thyroxine (T4) concentration in serum using the ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System. Total thyroxine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases. This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

The ACE Ferritin Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of ferritin concentration in serum using the ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System. Measurements of ferritin aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting iron metabolism, such as hemochromatosis (iron overload) and iron deficiency anemia. This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
