# A1CNow Self Check Rapid Test Kit

## Your A1C Result. In 5 Minutes. At Home.

The A1CNow Self Check gives you lab-accurate HbA1c results without the clinic visit — helping you and your doctor stay on top of diabetes management between appointments.

- **Results in 5 minutes** — no waiting days for lab reports
- **Tiny 5 µL fingerstick sample** — just a small drop of blood from a standard lancet
- **CLIA-waived** — meets the same standards used by physician offices and clinics
- **NGSP-certified and IFCC-traceable** — results directly comparable to your doctor's A1C test
- **No maintenance, no calibration** — ready to use right out of the box, stores at room temperature
- **4 tests per kit** — enough for a full year of quarterly monitoring as recommended by the ADA

## Simple Two-Piece Design. Three Steps.

Testing requires no prior lab experience. The kit includes everything needed for a complete test — monitor, blood collector, and sample dilution device.

- **Step 1 — Collect:** Use the included blood collector to gather a 5 µL fingerstick sample
- **Step 2 — Load:** Apply the sample to the test cartridge and insert it into the monitor
- **Step 3 — Read:** Your A1C percentage displays on screen in 5 minutes

Results are displayed as a clear percentage (e.g., 6.3%) — the same format your doctor uses — making it easy to track and share your progress over time.

## Key Features

### CLIA-Waived & FDA-Cleared
Meets the regulatory standard for use in physician offices, clinics, and at home. No special lab certification required for self-testing.

### Results in 5 Minutes
From fingerstick to reading in under 5 minutes — faster than most point-of-care alternatives, and far faster than waiting on a lab draw.

### Lab-Comparable Accuracy
NGSP-certified and IFCC-traceable, so your self-check results align directly with the A1C values reported by clinical laboratories.

## FAQ

**How accurate is the A1CNow Self Check compared to a lab?**
The A1CNow is NGSP-certified and IFCC-traceable, meaning its results are directly comparable to laboratory HbA1c values. Clinical studies have shown it meets the accuracy standards required for diabetes management decisions.

**How often should I test my A1C at home?**
The American Diabetes Association recommends A1C testing every 3 months for patients whose treatment has changed or who are not meeting glycemic goals — the 4-test kit aligns exactly with this schedule.

**Do I need a prescription?**
No. The A1CNow Self Check is sold over the counter and available without a prescription. It is CLIA-waived for use outside of laboratory settings.

**How much blood is needed?**
Only 5 µL — a very small fingerstick drop. The included blood collector makes sample application straightforward.

**Does it need batteries or charging?**
The monitor is battery-powered and requires no charging. Batteries are included. No maintenance or calibration is needed.

**What's the difference between Box of 4 and Case of 192?**
Both contain the same kit. The Box of 4 covers one year of quarterly self-testing. The Case of 192 (48 boxes) is suited for clinical practices, pharmacies, or caregivers managing multiple patients.
