Accuracy and Precision of a Point-of-Care HbA1c Test.

Background: Point-of-care (POC) hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing has advantages over laboratory testing, but some questions have remained regarding the accuracy and precision of these methods. The accuracy and the precision of the POC Afinion™ HbA1c Dx test were investigated.

Methods: Samples spanning the assay range were collected from prospectively enrolled subjects at three clinical sites.
