OBM rapid A1c : Fast, Accurate A1C Test for Healthcare Providers
Discover OBM Rapid A1c, an innovative point-of-care testing solution offering quick, accurate HbA1c results. Designed for healthcare providers, it ensures efficient diabetes management and enhanced patient care.
Spend Less and Lessen the Workload Compared to Traditional Tabletop Devices
OBM rapid A1c is a portable A1C testing device that requires just one blood sample drop, delivering results in 5 minutes.
The palm-sized device is easy to use, with no prior training or experience necessary.
Featuring microfluidic technology and its single cell analysis, OBM rapid A1c is tolerant of possible inconsistencies in sampling volume.
Breaking away from protein-reagent-based A1C tests, it is unaffected by hemoglobin variants.
OBM rapid A1c meter can be reliably reused year-round without re-calibration and its cartridges have 24-months long life. Units can be purchased in bulk for long-term use.
Unaffected by hemoglobin variants for diverse patient populations
Unlike other PoC tests on the market, OBM rapid A1c is unaffected by hemoglobin variants that can skew results.
Hemoglobin variants are most commonly found in Black, South and Southeast Asian, and Mediterranean patient populations, leading to inaccurate A1C readings and diabetes treatment options for minority populations.
Collect a drop of blood & Mix it inside the dropper with the sample collector.
Drop 1 sample drop into the cartridge inlet, and wait for the result.
Novel method of measuring A1C level
OBM rapid A1c test uses its patented ‘Micro Electro-Mechanical System.’ This system mimics the microvessels of the human body within a small cartridge. It directly measures how smoothly red blood cells flow and calculates the A1C level.
Orange Biomed's new technology addresses known limitations of conventional A1C measuring methods
No interference from hemoglobin variants ensures accurate results regardless of genetic differences.
Elimination of protein reagent usage allows for room temperature storage and extends the cartridge's shelf life to 24 months.
No need for meter recalibration ensures reliable reusability for year-round.
Elimination of sample size error ensures consistent accuracy regardless of who performs the test.
Fingerstick sampling is sufficient, eliminating the need for a venous blood draw.
The technology analyzes thousands of red blood cells within 5 minutes, achieving accuracy with just one drop of blood.

*Current at-home A1C tests rely on exact sample requirements, without a margin of error. As a result, users struggle to obtain accurate test results due to inconsistencies in sample size.
**At room temperature
***OBM rapid A1c At-Home meter needs to be purchased separately; a one-time purchase as it is reusable for long-term care.
