The Linearity LQ Cystatin-C is an assayed quality control material intended to simulate human patient samples for use in determining linearity, calibration verification, and the verification of reportable range for the Cystatin-C analyte. The Linearity LQ Cystatin-C is for In Vitro Diagnostic use only.
Device Story
Audit® MicroControls™ Linearity LQ Cystatin-C is a liquid, assayed quality control material consisting of five levels (A-E) of human and bovine-based serum containing the Cystatin-C analyte. Used in clinical laboratories to verify the linearity, calibration, and reportable range of quantitative Cystatin-C assays. The device is intended for in-vitro diagnostic use. Healthcare providers use the output to verify that analytical instruments are performing within established specifications for patient sample testing. The device benefits patients by ensuring the accuracy and reliability of Cystatin-C measurements, which are critical for assessing renal function.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Stability studies (accelerated and real-time) established a 3-year shelf life at 2-8°C and 30-day open-vial stability. Analyte value assignment was performed on the Beckman Immage analyzer using multiple measurements to establish target concentrations and ranges (±10%).
Technological Characteristics
Liquid quality control material; 5 levels; matrix consists of human and bovine-based serum. Analyte: Cystatin-C. Storage: 2-8°C. Non-sterile. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed quality control material to simulate human patient samples for determining linearity, calibration verification, and reportable range verification for the Cystatin-C analyte in clinical chemistry assays.
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.

## F. Device Description
The Audit® MicroControls™ Linearity LQ Cystatin-C product is an in-vitro diagnostic device consisting of one set of five levels of liquid, linearity/QC material. For the set there are five levels labeled A, B, C, D and E. The set contains 1ml for each level. The set contains the Cystatin-C analyte and additives in human and bovine based serum. Materials of human origin used in the manufacture of this linearity set have been tested using FDA approved methods and are found to be non-reactive for HbsAg and antibodies to HCV and HIV-1/2.
## G. Value Assignment/Linearity
Analyte value assignment for Level A through Level E was performed on Beckman Immage for the Cystatin-C analyte using the corresponding reagent. The Cystatin-C analyte was measured multiple times. The mean value of the Cystatin-C analyte was used to establish target concentration value at each level. All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific, Ltd.

## 0.4-7.5mg/L
## H. Summary of Performance Data
Stability studies have been performed to determine the open vial stability and shelf life for Audit® MicroControls™ Linearity LQ Cystatin-C.
## Shelf Life-Accelerated Stability
Accelerated stability studies were conducted to establish the shelf life stability claims. All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific, Ltd. Acceptance criteria were met to support the product claims as follows:
Shelf Life: 3 years, when stored unopened at 2-8º C.
## Shelf Life-Real Time Stability
Vials from two lots of finished product are stored at 2-8℃ (real time vials) and -80℃ (Dayl) vials). Samples are taken at two different time points. The analyte values from the real time vials are compared to the Day0 vials (both tested in duplicate). The product is determined to meet its predicted shelf life if the % difference of the real time mean values compared to the Day0 mean value is within the acceptance criteria. All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific, Ltd.
Note: Real time studies are ongoing to support the shelf life of this product.
### Open Vial-Accelerated Stability+Real Time Stability
Real time stability studies were conducted at the end of accelerated stability studies to establish the open vial stability claims. All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific, Ltd. Acceptance criteria were met to support the product claims as follows:
Open Vial Stability: Once a vial has been opened, the product will be stable for 30 days when stored tightly capped at 2-8° C.
## I. Expected Values
Analyte value assignment was performed for Audit® MicroControls™ Linearity LQ Cystatin-C on Beckman Immage using the corresponding reagents for Cystatin-C. Cystatin-C was measured multiple times and the mean value was used to establish target concentration values at each level. The target ranges were calculated as ± 10% of the target value.
All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific. Ltd. Product claims are as follows:
