## Indications for Use

The CHEM 2 CAL is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of Phosphorus (PHOS), Salicylate (SAL), and Triglycerides (TRIG) methods on the Dimension Vista™ System. For prescription use.

## Device Story

CHEM 2 CAL is a liquid, multi-analyte, bovine serum albumin-based calibrator. It contains phosphorus, salicylate, and glycerol. The kit includes six vials (three of Calibrator A, three of Calibrator B), each containing 2.0 mL of ready-to-use solution. The device is used in clinical laboratories to calibrate the Dimension Vista System for specific chemistry assays. By providing known concentrations of analytes, it allows the system to establish a calibration curve, ensuring accurate measurement of patient samples. The healthcare provider uses the system output to make clinical decisions regarding patient diagnosis and monitoring.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability was validated via real-time data comparing material stored at 4°C to -20°C over 371 days, supporting a 12-month shelf life. Opened, refrigerated stability was validated over 32 days. Traceability and expected values were verified through 45 replicate measurements across multiple instruments using primary standards.

## Technological Characteristics

Liquid, bovine serum albumin-based matrix. Traceability: PHOS (NIST SRM 2186I), SAL (Sodium Salicylate ACS grade), TRIG (Glycerol Anhydrous ACS grade). Two-level calibrator. No energy source or software; purely chemical calibrator material.

## 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

- Chemistry II Calibrator ([K861700](/device/K861700.md))
- Salicylate Calibrator ([K904307](/device/K904307.md))

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):

The sponsor demonstrated the stability of their device using real-time data. To assess the shelf life of their device, the company compared concentration measurements made on unopened material stored at 4°C to material stored at -20°C. The company made 5 replicate measurements at each level on days 0, 3, 7, 35, 98, 189, 280, 325, and 371. Data supplied by the company supports the claimed shelf life of 12 months.

To demonstrate the stability of their opened, refrigerated device, the company punctured vials on day zero, removed material, and returned the device to storage at 2 – 8 °C. The company performed 5 replicate measurements on each level of calibrator. Material stored at -20°C was used as a comparator. The company performed subsequent measurements on days 8, 15, 22 and 32. The data supplied by the company supports the claimed opened, refrigerated shelf life of 30 days.

The company verifies the target concentration of the calibrator material following an internally established manufacturing procedure: the new calibrator is made by adding by weight aqueous solutions of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium salicylate, and glycerol reference materials to a stock solution at target concentrations. The company validates the traceability and expected value of the device through 45 replicate measurements across multiple instruments calibrated with primary standards. A previously released lot of calibrator is used as control material.
