## Indications for Use

UrichemTRAK Liguid Assayed Control is a human urine based quality control material used in various general chemistry assays. The product is intended for use as a consistent test sample of known concentrations that is assayed along with patient urine specimens when performing urine chemistry assays. The Clinician can compare recovered values over an extended period of time as a means of evaluating analytical precision, as well as reagent and instrument performance.

## Device Story

UrichemTRAK Liquid Assayed Control is a human urine-based quality control material; provided in two levels of known concentrations. Used in clinical laboratories to monitor performance of general chemistry assays. Clinicians process control samples alongside patient urine specimens; recovered values compared against expected ranges to assess analytical precision, reagent stability, and instrument performance over time. Serves as a consistent reference material to ensure accuracy and reliability of patient test results.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Human urine-based liquid control material; provided in two levels. Formulated for use in general chemistry assays to monitor analytical precision and instrument performance.

## Regulatory Identification

A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.
