## Device Story

The device consists of a suite of quality control materials (EasyQC Chemistry, EasyElectrolytes, EasyQC Chemistry & Electrolytes) and calibrators (EasyCal, CREA-U Cal) designed for the MEDICA EasyRA Chemistry Analyzer. These materials are used by laboratory professionals to verify the precision and accuracy of clinical chemistry assays. Quality control materials allow for the detection of systemic analytical deviations, while calibrators establish reference points for measuring analytes in human serum or urine. By ensuring the analyzer is properly calibrated and performing within expected precision limits, these products support the reliability of clinical diagnostic results, ultimately aiding healthcare providers in making accurate clinical decisions based on patient test data.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Value assignment for calibrators performed via master lot comparison using NIST or gravimetric standards. Control values determined via replicate assays across multiple laboratories using manufacturer-provided reagents and instruments.

## Technological Characteristics

The device comprises liquid-based quality control materials and calibrators formulated for clinical chemistry analysis. These are designed for use with the MEDICA EasyRA Chemistry Analyzer. The products function as reference standards or control samples to monitor analytical performance. No specific materials of construction, energy sources, or software algorithms are described for these chemical reagents.

## Regulatory Identification

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

Assignment of values for the analytes within the two calibrators, EasyCal Multiconstituent Calibrator and CREA-U Cal, were obtained from the master calibrator lot using 4 runs performed 2-4 EasyRA analyzers. Each new lot of calibrator material is tested in duplicate against the master calibrator lot in replicates of ten. Included in each run are duplicates of NIST or gravimetric standards (where NIST standards are not available) and two levels of QC material. The assigned values are based on the recoveries (and verification) of the master calibrator lot and the lot being assigned from the multiple runs on multiple device lots over several days.

Assignment of values for EasyQC Chemistry, EasyQC Electrolytes and, EasyQC Chemistry and Electrolytes control kits are determined from the mean of replicate assays from at least two laboratories using the reagents, calibrators, and controls available from the instrument manufacturer.

The master calibrators are traceable to NIST and other primary standards and are listed in the insert.

Stability for each device is shown in the table below:

|  Stability  |   |   |
