Intended Use

IMMUNO-TROL™ Control Cells (Immuno-Trol) is an for an assayed, lysable whole blood quality control product for immunophenotyping analysis using monoclonal antibody reagents and flow cytomerry. It provides a positive cell control that is processed in the same manner as a whole blood sample. This allows verification of reagent performance and the methods used for staining targeted cells, lysing erythrocytes, and analyzing samples by flow cytometry. CD populations intended "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use" and those intended "For Research Use In Diagnostic Procedures." are given in separate tables in the TABLE OF EXPECTED RESULTS section of the Immuno-Trol package insert.

Device Story

Assayed, lysable whole blood quality control product; provides positive cell control for immunophenotyping.

| Product Comparison: | Immuno-Trol is essentially identical to the combined capabilities and intended uses of the two Predicate<br>System components, Normal Whole Blood (NWB) and CYTO-TROL. It also achieves the same<br>purpose as two other Hematology Quality Control Materials for immunophenotyping by flow<br>cytometry currently distributed "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use." Similar to CYTO-TROL, Immuno-Trol<br>provides an assayed positive cell control material consisting of leukocytes with surface antigens<br>detectable by monoclonal antibodies using, for example, CYTO-STAT ^® , CYTO-STAT ^® /COULTER<br>CLONE ^® and IOTest ^® Reagents. However, Immuno-Trol expands the capabilities of CYTO-TROL by<br>featuring more surface antigens. The NWB component of the Predicate System also consists of<br>leukocytes with surface antigens detectable by monoclonal antibodies and may be used in lieu of an<br>assayed cell control product. However, NWB is unassayed material and the specific surface antigens<br>present in a sample are unknown prior to immunophenotyping analysis using one or more monoclonal<br>antibody reagents and flow cytometry. Further, when using NWB to QC immunophenotyping<br>parameters and procedures, the percent positive and absolute count results obtained for targeted cellular<br>populations must be compared to results representative of the Site's normal human donor pool. Similar<br>to NWB, the erythrocyte component of Immuno-Trol can be lysed using a whole blood lysing method<br>such as COULTER ^® ImmunoPrep ^TM Reagent System and Workstation (ImmunoPrep). NWB and<br>CYTO-TROL are the same in that the Standard (Indirect) Method which combines hematology and<br>flow |

flow cytometry results can be used to calculate absolute count results. Immuno-Trol and NWB are the same in that both can be used with the absolute count reagent, COULTER® Flow-Count™ Fluorospheres (Flow-Count) for the direct determination of absolute count by flow cytometry. Finally, Immuno-Trol, NWB and CYTO-TROL are the same in that the gating population, gating method and .

Product testing to assess the performance of Immuno-Trol is described below. Studies were designed Product Testing: in line with instructions for use in the product package insert and performance specifications. NWB and CYTO-TROL samples were also assayed for comparison purposes. The results of product testing demonstrated that Immuno-Trol meets all performance specifications and provides Percent Positive (%) and Absolute Count Results comparable to those of NWB and CYTO-TROL and also within the Acceptance Criteria for each leukocyte surface antigen given in the Immuno-Trol package insert.

1. Vial-to-Vial Reproducibility:

Reproducibility (that is, Homogeneity) was assessed by measuring the Red Blood Cell (RBC) and White Blood Cell (WBC) concentrations of filled vials of Immuno-Trol on the COULTER® STKS™ Analyzer (STKS). The filled vials were sampled from Immuno-Trol lots at regular intervals across the fill. The study results were expressed in terms of cells/mL and all values met the Acceptance Criteria. These data demonstrate the consistency and reproducibility of Immuno-Trol filled vials.

#### 2. Lot-to-Lot Reproducibility:

Reproducibility was assessed by testing Immuno-Trol on different instrument-operator combinations using one-color, two-color three-color and four-color monoclonal antibody reagents. Testing produced overall percent positive (%) and absolute count (as applicable) results for the leukocyte surface antigens given in the Immuno-Trol Package Insert. The study results were expressed in terms of percent positive (%) and absolute count (cells/uL) and all values met the Acceptance Criteria. These data demonstrate the consistency and reproducibility of Immuno-Trol between lots.

#### 3. Stability Studies:

Closed Vial, Open Vial and Stored Prepared Sample stability characteristics and claims for Immuno-Trol were assessed with two study protocols: "Closed Vial: 90 days at 2-8℃; Open Vial: 30 days at 2-8℃" and "Stored Prepared Sample: 2 hours at 20-25°C; 24 hours at 2-8°C." Immuno-Trol was tested using one-color, threecolor and four-color monoclonal antibody reagents under the different storage and temperature conditions over test periods extending up to and beyond the respective 90-day and 30-day dains. The study results were expressed in terms of percent positive (%) and absolute count (cells/uL) and all values met the Acceptance Criteria. These data demonstrate Immuno-Trol meets both reagent and sample stability characteristics and claims under the storage and temperature conditions studied.

- 4. Absolute Count Method Verification:
Absolute count method was assessed by testing Immuno-Trol using three-color and four-color monoclonal antibody reagents and the Flow-Count (Direct) Method and the Standard (Indirect) Method for absolute count determination. NWB was also tested under the same conditions. The study results were expressed in terms of percent positive (%) and absolute count (cells/uL) and all values met the Acceptance Criteria. In addition, both the Flow-Count (Direct) Method and the Standard (Indirect) Method provided essentially identical absolute count results for Immuno-Trol and NWB. These data clearly demonstrate the suitability of using the Flow-Count (Direct) Method for absolute count determination of Immuno-Trol leukocyte surface antigens.

- 5. Assay Precision:
Assay precision (that is, reproducibility) was assessed by testing Immuno-Trol on different instrument-operator combinations and over multiple test days using one-color and four-color and four-color monoclonal antibody reagents. NWB and CYTO-TROL were also tested under the same conditions. The study results were expressed in terms of percent positive (%) and absolute count (cells/uL) and analyzed in terms individual and combined assay precision for the various study parameters. All values met the Acceptance Criteria. In addition, Immuno-Trol, NWB and CYTO-TROL varied little as evidenced by the means, standard deviations and coefficients of variation for the different sets of measurements. These data demonstrate Immuno-Trol performs in a manner comparable to the Predicate System components, NWB and CYTO-TROL.

#### Indications For Use:

IMMUNO-TROL™ Control Cells (Immuno-Trol) is an for an assayed, lysable whole blood quality control product for immunophenotyping analysis using monoclonal antibody reagents and flow cytomerry. It provides a positive cell control that is processed in the same manner as a whole blood sample.

CD populations intended "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use" and those intended "For Research Use In Diagnostic Procedures." are given in separate tables in the TABLE OF EXPECTED RESULTS section of the Immuno-Trol package insert.

Immunophenotyping analysis by flow cytometry involves the identification and enumeration of targeted cells in whole blood samples. Whole blood samples are stained with monoclonal antibodies and erythrocytes are lysed prior to flow cytometric analysis. A positive cell control is required to verify reagent performance, sample performance, sample preparation methods, and staining procedures. A positive cell control should mimic a representative whole blood sample in terms of monoclonal antibody performance, erythrocyte lysing, and flow cytometric analysis.
