## Indications for Use

The ANEMIA CAL is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of the LOCI Vitamin B12 (B12) and LOCI Folate (FOL) methods on the Dimension® EXL™ integrated chemistry system and the Ferritin (FERR) method on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system.

## Device Story

Dimension EXL Anemia Calibrator is a multi-analyte, liquid, frozen, bovine serum albumin-based product; contains human liver-derived ferritin, Vitamin B12, and Folate. Used in clinical laboratory settings to calibrate Vitamin B12, Folate, and Ferritin assays on Dimension EXL integrated chemistry systems. Calibrator kit includes ten vials across five levels. Healthcare professionals use the calibrator to establish assay traceability and ensure accurate patient sample measurement. Human source materials are tested for HbsAg, anti-HCV, and HIV-1/2.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability and value assignment protocols were validated; traceability established using USP grade materials and WHO IS 94/572 standards.

## Technological Characteristics

Multi-analyte, liquid, frozen, bovine serum albumin-based matrix. Contains human liver-derived ferritin, USP grade Vitamin B12, and Folate. Five-level kit configuration. Storage: -25 to -15°C (unopened); 30-day stability at 2-8°C (thawed/unopened).

## 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

- Dimension Vista® LOCI 4 Calibrator (k071224)

# K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):

None referenced

# L. Test Principle:

Not applicable

# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

# 1. Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility:

Not applicable

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

Not applicable

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

United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) grade B12 and Folate in a B12/Folate depleted human serum matrix are used to make anchor pools. The Ferritin Master Pool bottle values are traceable to an anchor pool prepared from WHO IS 94/572. The concentrations are verified by testing patient samples with values across the method's

{3}

assay range.

Standard values are assigned to a master calibrator lot using USP grade B12 and Folate into a bovine serum albumin matrix. Values are them assigned to the commercial calibrator (bovine serum albumin matrix at target concentration) verses master calibrator using chemistry analyzers calibrated with the master pool. Each level is tested on multiple analyzers multiple times. Acceptance criteria and protocol for assigning the value were provided and found to be acceptable.

The sponsor provided protocols and acceptance criteria to establish the stability of the product, closed and open vial. Un-open calibrators stored frozen at -25 to -15°C are stable for 12 months. Un-open thawed calibrators stored at 2-8°C are stable for 30 days. Open vial stability is 30 days when recapped immediately after use and stored at 2-8°C.
