I. Device Description:

{1}

The Multi-analyte Chemistry calibrator is a product consists of lyophilized human serum and a diluent for reconstitution. The human serum contains calibrator constituents added to provide the defined assay values for Albumin, Total Bilirubin, Direct Bilirubin, BUN, Calcium, $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$, Chloride, Cholesterol, Creatinine, Glucose Hx, Glucose Ox, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Total Protein, Trig-GPO, and Uric Acid. The concentration of the calibrator components are lot specific and the values of the analytes are provided in the product labeling.

All human materials were tested by FDA approved methods and found to be negative for the presence of antibodies to HIV-1, HIV-2, HBsAg, and HCV.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

Not Applicable

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

Traceability

The sponsor provided the available NIST traceability information for constituents in the calibrator mixture. It is also available to the user upon request from the sponsor.

Value Assignment

The calibrator values are determined using Pointe Scientific, Inc. reagent methods and the analyzers listed in the value assignment table on the reverse side of the package insert. Determinations are performed under standardized conditions, utilizing known NIST standard materials. The commercial calibrator lot value is assigned with 3 runs, 10 values per run and using different lot numbers of the reagent. The final established value is obtained after calibrating against the previous calibrator lot, which is traceable to NIST

material at $100 \pm 10\%$. The sponsor’s final acceptance criterion is that the newly manufactured calibrator values must recover within $100 \pm 10\%$ of a previous lot of calibrator.

## Stability

The sponsor conducted long-term storage stability and open-vial stability using 3 lots and 3 replicates per lot. Data analysis demonstrated the products stored at +2 to +8°C are stable for at least 36 months. Testing cycles are, 0 and 36 months. Open-vial testing of reconstituted calibrator demonstrated 7-day stability for all the constituents with the exception of Bilirubin for which the data indicate stability of 5 days at +2 to +8°C storage.
