It is used to calibrate the TROP method for the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system with a heterogeneous immunoassay module. The device provides reference points (0, 2, 8, 25, and 55 ng/mL) to ensure accurate measurement of cardiac troponin-I in human specimens, which aids clinicians in diagnosing cardiac conditions. It is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Five-level frozen calibrator; matrix: buffered bovine protein; analyte: cardiac troponin-I; concentrations: 0, 2, 8, 25, 55 ng/mL; volume: 2.0 mL per vial; intended for use with Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system. ## 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 - Stratus® Cardiac Troponin-I Calibrators ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The kit consists of five vials; two at each level. Intended Use: The TROP Calibrator is intended to be used to calibrate the TROP Method for the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system with the heterogeneous immunoassay module. ## Comparison to Predicate Device: | | Dimension® RxL TROP Calibrator | Stratus® Cardiac Troponin-I Calibrators | |--------------|--------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| | Intended Use | Calibrator | Calibrator | | Analyte | cardiac troponin-l | cardiac troponin-l | | Matrix | buffered bovine protein | buffered bovine protein | | Form | frozen | frozen | | Volume | 2.0 mL per vial | 2.0 mL per vial | | Values | Assigned | Nominal | | Levels | 5 levels | 6 levels | Comments on Substantial Equivalence: Both the TROP Calibrator for the Dimension® RxL system and the Stratus® Cardiac Troponin-I Calibrators are manufactured using the same matrix and contain cardiac troponin-1 as the analyte source. Both products are intended to be used as calibrators for cardiac troponin-l assays. {1}------------------------------------------------ Conclusion: The TROP Calibrator for the Dimension® RxL system is substantially equivalent to the Stratus ® Cardiac Troponin-I Calibrators based on the comparison summarized on the previous page.
