## Indications for Use

Multiparameter calibrator [CCC-S] for quantitative clinical chemistry determinations. Sentinel Clin Chem Cal must be used for the calibration of clinical chemistry tests. The Sentinel Clin Chem Cal is a device intended for medical purposes for use in Pancreatic amylase, Cholinesterase, Creatinine, Lithium, Alpha-Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase and "Cholinesterase Dibucaine-Inhibited" assays to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of Pancreatic amylase, Cholinesterase, Creatinine, Lithium, Alpha-Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase and "Cholinesterase Dibucaine-Inhibited" in human specimens.

## Device Story

Sentinel Clin Chem Cal is a lyophilized, human serum-based calibrator; used to calibrate clinical chemistry assays on automated systems (e.g., Abbott ARCHITECT c8000). The device provides reference values for pancreatic amylase, cholinesterase, creatinine, lithium, and alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase. The calibrator is reconstituted by the laboratory technician and processed alongside controls and master lots to establish target values. By ensuring accurate calibration, the device enables clinical chemistry analyzers to provide precise quantitative results for patient samples, supporting diagnostic decision-making by healthcare providers.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance supported by traceability to NIST SRM909b, DGKC, and IFCC standards. Stability testing confirms 24-month shelf life and 2-day reconstituted stability at 2-8°C (or 14 days at -20°C). Value assignment performed in-house on clinical chemistry analyzers using triplicate testing across four runs; imprecision maintained below 4.5%.

## Technological Characteristics

Lyophilized human serum-based calibrator. Traceable to NIST SRM909b, DGKC/37°C, and IFCC EPS/37°C standards. Storage: 2-8°C. Analyzers: Abbott Aeroset and Abbott Architect. No software or electronic connectivity.

## 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

- Sentinel Clin Chem Cal (k051452)

|  Alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase | DGKC/37° | ε NADH  |

Values are assigned in-house on commercially marketed clinical chemistry analyzers. Each testing run evaluates triplicates of the following: two levels of control materials (low and high), an aliquot of internal master lot and two aliquots of two pools of calibrator materials. Four runs on at least two different days are performed. The mean and the standard deviation of the two calibrator pools were calculated. The assigned value was determined to be the mean of the two calibrator pools barring any outlier and imprecision of less than 4.5%.

The sponsors' results support the shelf-life stability claim of up to 24 month and a reconstituted stability material claim of 2 days at 2 to 8°C or 14 days at -20°C when stored in small volumes and frozen once.
