DESCRIPTION AND RESOLUTION |
| OR 1 |
The Blood sample may have too little hemoglobin
(less than 20%
hematocrit), or there was under-sampling
of whole blood.* You may
wish to check hemocrit by another method. |
| OR 2 |
The blood sample may have too much hemoglobin
(greater than
60% hemocrit), or there was over-sampling
of whole blood.* You
may wish to check hemocrit by another method |
| OR 3 |
The blood sample may have too little A1C,
or there was under-sampling
of whole blood.* |
| OR 4 |
The blood sample may have too much A1C,
or there was over-sampling
of whole blood.* |
| OR 5 |
The monitor temperature is below 18oC
(64oF). Repeat the test at
room temperature (18-28oC). |
| OR 6 |
The monitor temperature is above 28oC
(82oF). Repeat the test at
room temperature (18-28oC). |

Limitations
• This test is NOT for the screening or diagnosis
of diabetes.
• If the patient has high levels of Hemoglobin
F, Hemoglobin S, Hemoglobin C, or other hemoglobin
variants, the A1cNow system may report incorrect
results.
• Any cause of shortened red cell survival (e.g.,
hemolytic anemia or other hemolytic diseases,
pregnancy, recent significant blood loss, etc.)
will reduce exposure of red cells to glucose.
This results in a decrease in %A1C values. Percent
A1C results are not reliable in patients with
chronic blood loss and consequent variable erythrocyte
life span.
• This test is designed to be run at 18-28°C
(64-82°F) and 15-80% humidity. Using the monitor
outside this temperature range will give an
error code.
• This test is not a substitute for regular
doctor visits and blood glucose monitoring.
• As with any laboratory procedure, a large
discrepancy between clinical impression and
test results usually warrants investigation.
