The CHEM III CAL is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of Ammonia (AMM), Carbon Dioxide (ECO2) and Ethyl Alcohol (ETOH) assays on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system.
Device Story
Dimension Chemistry III Calibrator (CHEM III CAL) is a three-level, liquid, aqueous calibrator kit containing ammonium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, and ethyl alcohol. Used in clinical chemistry laboratories to calibrate Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide, and Ethyl Alcohol assays on the Dimension clinical chemistry system. Provides standardized reference values to ensure accuracy of patient sample measurements. Product is ready-to-use; stored at 2–8°C. Healthcare providers use the calibrated system to obtain quantitative diagnostic results for patient management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability testing performed per CLSI EP25-A guideline; established 12-month shelf life and open-vial stability (7 days on-system, 30 days refrigerated).
Indicated for the calibration of Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide, and Ethyl Alcohol assays on the Siemens Dimension RxL Max clinical chemistry system.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
