Liquichek Tumor Markers Control is intended for use as an assayed quality control material to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for the analytes listed in the package insert.
Device Story
Liquichek Tumor Markers Control is an assayed quality control material used in clinical laboratories to monitor the precision of testing procedures for various tumor marker analytes. The device is a liquid-form control containing human and animal serum albumin and preservatives. It is provided in three levels (Level 1, 2, and 3) and is stored frozen (-20°C to -70°C). Laboratory technicians use the control to verify the performance of diagnostic assays; results are compared against expected values provided in the package insert to ensure analytical precision. By monitoring these controls, laboratories can identify potential errors in testing procedures, thereby ensuring the reliability of patient test results.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability studies confirmed open-vial stability of 30 days at 2°C to 8°C (15 days for IGF-1) and a two-year shelf life. Value assignments are derived from replicate analysis using FDA-cleared/approved tests.
Technological Characteristics
Ready-to-use liquid control material. Matrix consists of human and animal serum albumin, chemicals, stabilizers, and preservatives (concentration ≤0.1%). Analytes include AFP, B2-M, CA 15-3, CA 19-9, CA 27-29, CA 125, CEA, Ferritin, hCG, IGF-1, PAP, Prolactin, PSA, Free PSA, and Thyroglobulin. Storage at -20°C to -70°C. No specific software or electronic connectivity.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed quality control material to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for specific tumor marker analytes in clinical settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.

Dear Ms. Zeballos:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The
