The cobas c 513 clinical chemistry analyzer is a fully automated, standalone clinical chemistry analyzer intended for the in-vitro quantitative determination of analytes in body fluids.

The Tina-quant Hemoglobin A1cDx Gen.3 assay is intended for use as an aid in diagnosis of diabetes and as an aid in identifying patients who may be at risk for developing diabetes. It is an in vitro diagnostics reagent system intended for quantitative determination of mmol/mol hemoglobin A1c (IFCC) and % hemoglobin A1c (DCCT/NGSP) in hemolysate or whole blood on the Roche/Hitachi cobas c 513 clinical chemistry analyzer. HbA1c determinations are useful for monitoring of long-term blood glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
