The Special Chemistry Calibrators are calibrators for in vitro diagnostic use to monitor the precision and accuracy of certain chemistry test procedures for the ADVIA 1650 Chemistry analvzer.
Device Story
Special Chemistry Calibrator is a lyophilized human serum-based material with added non-serum constituents; used to calibrate the ADVIA 1650 Chemistry analyzer. The device requires reconstitution with 5.0 mL distilled water. It provides absolute values for specific analytes—Acid Phosphatase, Lactate, Lipase, and Direct TIBC—to monitor the precision and accuracy of chemistry test procedures. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. The output allows healthcare providers to ensure the accuracy of patient test results on the ADVIA 1650 system, supporting reliable clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Traceability established via master lot comparison on the ADVIA 1650 system.
Technological Characteristics
Lyophilized mixture of human and bovine serum base with added nonhuman constituents. Stable at 2-8°C. Reconstituted stability: 7 days for Lactate, Lipase, and Direct TIBC; 2 days for Acid Phosphatase.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro diagnostic use in the calibration of the ADVIA 1650 Chemistry system for certain chemistry methods.
Regulatory Classification
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.
