London, UK [November 14, 2022] LumiraDx Limited (Nasdaq: LMDX), a next-generation point of care diagnostics company, today announced the continued commercial expansion of its HbA1c test, for professional use across multiple care settings. Used alongside the LumiraDx Platform, the test monitors known diabetic patients’ HbA1c levels and also serves as an aid in screening and identifying patients who may be at risk for developing diabetes. Providing results in under seven minutes from sample application, the test allows improved efficiency and convenience with on-the-spot diabetes screening and monitoring at the patient’s side. The company announced the assay had achieved CE marking in late May of this year.

David Walton, LumiraDx’s Chief Commercial Officer commented, “As the global prevalence of diabetes is increasing, it’s critical for healthcare professionals to have access to rapid and reliable HbA1c results. The availability of an immediate, lab-comparable HbA1c test has been shown to improve patient outcomes through improved diabetes management. 2,3 In addition, there are a number of well-known comorbidities associated with diabetes. These are supported through our multi-assay testing Platform - including tests for cardiac biomarkers, coagulation, and inflammation- making the LumiraDx Platform an ideal tool for improving patient outcomes within the community healthcare setting.”
