Glycated haemoglobin A, HbA1c, is a good indicator for blood glucose levels over a period of 8 – 12 weeks.  This is particularly useful in diabetes where good glycaemic control is essential.  A reduction in HbA1c has shown to reduce the risk of certain diabetes-related complications.¹  Knowing your patient’s HbA1c levels at the time of consultation can be a powerful motivator for your patient to achieve better glycaemic control. 

The A1CNow®+ Pro system allows you to monitor the HbA1c levels in 5 minutes using a drop of finger prick blood.  Fast, easy and accurate results of laboratory quality in minutes, not days!

• Time saving
• Portable
• Re-usable

The self-contained, integrated hand held monitor requires no additional equipment and very minimal training.  Simple to use.  No fasting or special diet required.  Tests can be performed in any clinical setting.

Important notes

In-vitro use only

In conjunction with a clinical assessment, the PTS A1CNow®+ Pro system can be used as a tool to help assist screening for diabetes, or diagnosis of diabetes.  However, the PTS A1CNOW®+ Pro system should NOT be used for the screening or diagnosis of diabetes without appropriate clinical assessment.  All local guidelines for diagnosis or screening of diabetes should be followed. 

Conditions which affect the life-span of a red cell, or with high levels of haemoglobin variants including F, S, and C can affect the test.
