Validation of Diagnostics to Identify Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Activity in the US

The SD Biosensor G6PD Analyzer is designed to measure the quantitative determination of total hemoglobin concentration and G6PD enzymatic activity in fresh human whole blood specimens based on reflectometry assays in a point-of-care setting. The test is intended to aid in the identification of people with G6PD deficiency. The test is currently not licensed for use in the US and is considered an investigational product.

The Pointe Scientific test kit will serve as the reference assay to assess G6PD activity. Its intended use is for the quantitative, kinetic determination of G6PD in blood at 340 nm.

The HemoCue hemoglobin (Hb) 201+ system is designed for quantitative point-of-care whole blood hemoglobin determination in primary care using a specially designed analyzer, the HemoCue Hb 201+ Analyzer, and specially designed microcuvettes, the HemoCue Hb 201+Microcuvettes.
