## Indications for Use

The Architect Insulin Calibrators are for the calibration of the Architect i System when used for the quantitative determination of human insulin in human serum and plasma. The Architect Insulin Controls are for the verification of the accuracy and precision of the Architect i System when used for the quantitative determination of human insulin in human serum or plasma.

## Device Story

Architect Insulin Calibrators and Controls are liquid-based reagents used with the Architect i System. Calibrators (6 levels: 0, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300 µU/mL) calibrate the system for insulin quantification; Controls (3 levels: 8, 40, 120 µU/mL) verify accuracy and precision. Both contain insulin in acetate buffer with sodium azide/antimicrobial preservatives. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output is used by the Architect i System to generate calibration curves and validate assay performance, ensuring accurate insulin measurement for clinical decision-making.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability testing confirmed 12-month shelf life at 2-8°C. Traceability established via RLU comparison to WHO Insulin 1st IRP 66/304 with acceptance criteria of +/- 1.5% RLU variation.

## Technological Characteristics

Liquid-based calibrators and controls; insulin in acetate buffer; preserved with sodium azide. Designed for use on Architect i System (CMIA platform). Traceable to WHO Insulin 1st IRP 66/304.

## Regulatory Identification

A calibrator is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of substances in human specimens. (See also § 862.2 in this part.)

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

## Predicate Devices

- Bayer ADVIA Centaur and ACS: 180, Insulin Calibrators (k021535)
- Bayer Ligand Plus 1, 2, 3 Controls (k030452)
