Intended Use
This Hematocrit and Metabolite QUALICHECK solution is an assayed quality control system for evaluating the accuracy and precision of all parameters listed on the insert specifying the control ranges. Analytes are: cGlucose, cLactate, Hct
Device Story
Hematocrit and Metabolite QUALICHECK is a two-level aqueous quality control system used in clinical settings to verify the accuracy and precision of blood gas and metabolite analyzers. The system consists of ampoules containing an aqueous solution of metabolites, salts, acid, and organic buffer with ProClin 950 preservative. Healthcare professionals use the solution to perform quality control checks on compatible Radiometer ABL and EML series analyzers. By measuring the control solution and comparing results against assigned target ranges, clinicians ensure the analyzer is functioning correctly, which supports reliable diagnostic decision-making for patient blood testing.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability studies confirmed a 2-year shelf life at 2 °C to 25 °C. Value assignment was performed using validated ABL555 and EML105 analyzers, with 60 measurements per analyte to establish true values and 95% confidence intervals.
Technological Characteristics
Aqueous solution containing organic buffer, acid, salts, metabolites, and ProClin 950 preservative. Two-level system provided in 2 mL ampoules. Storage 2 °C to 25 °C. Compatible with specific Radiometer ABL and EML analyzer models. Value assignment uses validated algorithms and statistical analysis of measurement data.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed quality control system for evaluating the accuracy and precision of cGlucose, cLactate, and Hct parameters on compatible analyzers. For professional use.
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.

# 5. Stability
Stability claims are based on real time stability studies. Control solutions are stable for 2 years at 2 °C to 25 °C. Multiple test points were tested, with six measurements at each test point. All study results met the acceptance criteria.
In-use Stability: The contents should be used immediately after opening.
# 6. Value Assignment
To determine the true value for each parameter and thereby the assigned values and control ranges for Hematocrit and Metabolite QUALICHECK, the following sampling and measurements are performed:
Hct:
- 6 trays are sampled randomly from the Hematocrit and Metabolite QUALICHECK batch. . Each tray contains 1000 ampoules.
- 5 ampoules are sampled from each of the 6 trays ●
- 30 ampoules are sampled from the reference batch ●
- . Measurements are performed on at least 2 validated ABL555
- Measurements of Hct are performed alternately on the reference ampoule and the sample ampoule. This is repeated 5 times on each ABL555 – 60 measurements in total
- . Measurement results are recorded and analyzed in a validated Excel spreadsheet
{6}------------------------------------------------
### Glucose and lactate:
- 6 trays are sampled randomly from the Hematocrit and Metabolite QUALICHECK batch. . Each trav contains 1000 ampoules.
- . 5 ampoules are sampled from each of the 6 trays
- 30 ampoules are sampled from the reference batch .
- Measurements are performed on at least 2 validated EML105 ●
- Measurements of glucose and lactate are performed alternately on the reference ● ampoule and the sample ampoule. This is repeated 5 times on each EML105 - 60 measurements in total
- Measurement results are recorded and analyzed in a validated Excel spreadsheet ●
Calculation of true value is described in the test instruction for each level. Assigned values are calculated from the true values by validated algorithms. Control ranges are based on the assigned values ± validated 95% confidence intervals.
#### 7. Conclusion
The Hematocrit and Metabolite QUALICHECK is substantially equivalent in Intended Use, fundamental scientific technology, features, and characteristics to the predicate device: QUALICHECK5+ (K980135).
