Used with Behring Nephelometer systems (K860894, K892223, K943997) to calibrate N Latex CRP mono tests. Operates by establishing reference curves for immunology assays. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Provides standardized reference values to ensure accurate quantification of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patient samples, aiding clinical diagnosis and monitoring of inflammatory conditions. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Precision studies on Behring Nephelometer yielded %CVs ranging from 1.43% to 4.47%. Stability testing confirmed shelf life of at least 12 months (lyophilized) and 4 weeks (reconstituted). ## Technological Characteristics Lyophilized human serum matrix with stabilizers and preservatives. Single-analyte calibrator. Designed for use with nephelometric immunoassay systems. ## 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 - N Protein Standard SY ## Reference Devices - Behring Nephelometer ([K860894](/device/K860894.md)) - Behring Nephelometer 100 ([K892223](/device/K892223.md)) - Behring Nephelometer II ([K943997](/device/K943997.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Manufactures Name, Address, Telephone, and contact person, date of preparation: Manufacture Behringwerke AG Postfach 1140 35001 Marburg Germany Distributor Behring Diagnostics Inc. 151 University Avenue Westwood, MA 02090 617-320-3000 Attn: Kathleen Dray-Lyons Preparation date: June 19, 1996 2. Device Name/ Classification: N Protein Standard SY: calibrator Classification Number: class II (862.1150) 3. Identification of the legally marketed device: N Protein Standard SY 4. Proposed Device Description: The proposed calibrator, N CRP Standard SY is a calibrator prepared from human serum (lyophilized) with stabilizers and preservative. It is intended to be used together with the Behring Nephelometer Systems (Behring Nephelometer K860894, Behring Nephelometer 100 K892223 and the Behring Nephelometer II K943997) for the calibration of the N Latex CRP mono test. 000009 {1} 5. Proposed Device Intended Use: N CRP Standard SY is intended to be used for the establishment of reference curves. 6. Medical device to which equivalence is claimed and comparison information. The N CRP Standard SY is substantially equivalent in intended use to the N Protein Standard SY. Both standards are *in vitro* diagnostic reagents intended for use as a calibrator for the establishment of reference curves. The N CRP Standard SY like the N Protein Standard SY is a standard in a blood based matrix. Also, both standard are used for the calibration of immunology assays. The N CRP Standard SY differs from the N Protein Standard SY in that the N Protein Standard SY is a multi-analyte calibrator while the N CRP Standard SY is a single analyte calibrator. 7. Proposed Device Performance Characteristics: Precision and reproducibility: Precision studies using one lot of N CRP Standard SY were run on the Behring Nephelometer. The %CVs ranged from 1.43 to 4.47%. Stability Stability was run according to in-house protocols and the control was found stable for at least 12 month lyophilized and 4 weeks once reconstituted. 000010 --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CH/subpart-b%E2%80%94clinical-chemistry-test-systems/JIX/K962406](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CH/subpart-b%E2%80%94clinical-chemistry-test-systems/JIX/K962406) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
