## Indications for Use

Dade® Moni-Trol® Control is intended for use as an unassayed quality control material in quantitative clinical chemistry control programs. Dade® Moni-Trol® Control is intended to assist in the control of accuracy and precision of clinical chemistry quality control programs. Dade® Moni-Trol® Calibrator is intended for use as a calibrator in the quantitative determination of clinical assays.

## Device Story

Moni-Trol® products function as quality control materials and calibrators for clinical chemistry assays; used in clinical laboratories to verify accuracy and precision of quantitative test results; products consist of chemistry controls (Levels 1, 2, 3, 1X, 2X, 3X) and calibrators (A, B, C) often paired with carbonate diluents; healthcare professionals use these materials to validate instrument performance and ensure reliable patient diagnostic data; benefits include standardized assay calibration and ongoing monitoring of analytical system stability.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Data provided includes typical analyte values, shelf-life, and reconstituted stability testing to support safety and effectiveness claims.

## Technological Characteristics

Lyophilized or liquid chemistry control and calibrator materials; includes carbonate diluents for reconstitution; intended for quantitative clinical chemistry applications.

## 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.
