## Indications for Use

The ALP CAL is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of the Alkaline Phosphatase method on the Dimension Vista™ System.

## Device Story

Dimension Vista ALP Calibrator (KC330) is a liquid, bovine protein-based product containing porcine kidney-derived alkaline phosphatase; used for calibrating ALP assays on Dimension Vista clinical chemistry systems. Kit consists of three ready-to-use vials (1.0 mL each); system water serves as the zero calibrator. Device is used by laboratory professionals in clinical settings to ensure accurate quantitative measurement of ALP. Calibration process involves instrument-based analysis of calibrator levels to establish assay performance parameters. Proper calibration enables clinicians to obtain reliable ALP measurements for patient diagnostic assessment.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability testing performed per ISO 13640; shelf-life stability validated via comparison of -70°C vs -20°C storage (percent change ≤ 6%). Open vial stability established at 7 days on-instrument and 30 days refrigerated. Value assignment verified via N=45 replicates on multiple instruments.

## Technological Characteristics

Liquid bovine protein-based matrix containing porcine kidney-derived alkaline phosphatase. Ready-to-use. Traceable to Master Pool, Dimension clinical chemistry system values. Stability tested per CEN 13640. Risk management per ISO 14971:2000.

## 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

- Dimension® Enzyme Verifier (k860021)

# Stability:

Target shelf life for the ALP calibrator is 12 months. Calibrator shelf life (long term) stability is determined by comparing results of the product stored at -70°C with control stored at -20°C. Percent change should be less than or equal to 6%. Shelf-life stability (expiration) dating assignment at commercialization reflects the real-time data on file at Dade Behring, Inc. Open vial (in use) stability is 7 days if kept on the instrument and 30 days if stored in the refrigerator.

# Value Assignment:

The new calibrator Master Pool is made by gravimetrically adding quantities of alkaline phosphatase to StabilZyme® AP to target concentrations. Three levels of Master Pool are prepared and stored at -70°C. The concentrations are verified using a previously approved Master Pool lot as a control. The final bottle value for the Master Pool is assigned for each level by testing N = 45 replicates on multiple instruments. A stock solution is prepared for the new commercial calibrator lot by gravimetrically adding alkaline phosphatase to StabilZyme® AP to target concentration. The stock solution concentration is verified by comparing the Master Pool assigned bottle values. For the commercial calibrator lot, calculated quantity of the stock solution is added to StabilZyme® AP to target concentrations. The concentration of the commercial lot is verified to be within acceptable range by using an instrument calibrated with Master Pools. The final bottle value is assigned to the commercial lot level and verified using a previously released commercial lot of calibrator on multiple instruments for N = 45 total replicates.
