Challenges in Hb A1c Point-of-Care Testing: Only 5 of 19 Hb A1c Point-of-Care Devices Meet IFCC and NGSP Certification Criteria on Independent Evaluation
This study shows the importance of independent evaluations for assessing the performance of Hb A1c POC devices. The analytical performance of the devices was very poor overall, with 74% not meeting both IFCC and NGSP criteria. These evaluations were performed under ideal conditions; performance may worsen further when used in a clinical setting.
