HbA1c standard test results
Limitation of Procedure
The
CLOVER A1c™ Self
assay gives accurate and precise results over a range of total
Hemoglobin of 7 to 20 g/dL. Most patients will have hemoglobin concentrations within
those values. However, patients with severe anemias may have Hemoglobin concentra-
tions ower than 7 g/dL, and patients with polycythemia may have Hemoglobin concentra-
tions above 24 g/dL. Patients known to have these condition should be assayed by a test
employing a different assay principle if their Hemoglobin concentrations are outside of
the acceptable range.

*Perform the A1C test at least two times a year in patients who are meeting treatment
goals (and who have stable glycemic control).
