Instant test results enable coachable moments between the doctor and the patient at consultation supporting increased patient satisfaction2 and reducing the need for follow-up calls.3
The Afinion HbA1c assay is the result of years of commitment to continuous product innovation and refinement offering rapid results in minutes. We take all of the complexity out of the hands of the user and design our tests to be simple and intuitive.
The test has been IFCC and NGSP-certified for more than 14 years. Continuous improvements through the years have led the Afinion HbA1c test to be recognized as having an excellent analytical performance4,5 often outperforming other HbA1c point-of-care instruments.4,6,7
Afinion delivers highly accurate results. External quality assurance (EQA) data shows that the analytical performance of Afinion 2 Analyzer is as good as most of the laboratory-based methods or even better.8,9
It is the only point of care HbA1c assay that has been cleared by the US FDA not only for monitoring but also as an aid in the diagnosis of diabetes and prediabetes.10
Studies show that testing in the physician office can increase efficiency by reducing the number of patient follow-up visits, limiting the number of venous draws required, saving time on administrative tasks for laboratory orders, and sending letters freeing up time for other duties.11,12
With point-of-care test results in hand, you can have immediate coachable moments with your patients and empower them to be engaged as an active partner in their care. Studies show that having test results during the consultation increases both the patient's motivation and understanding.12,13,14
A comprehensive approach that includes rapid diagnostic testing is necessary to get your diabetes patients under control. Many studies have looked at the potential benefits of implementing point-of-care testing in clinical practice, and show that the processes involved in patient management can be simplified, more time efficient11,12 and increase staff satisfaction.12,15
