## Indications for Use

The Elecsys HCG STAT CalCheck 5 is an assayed control for use in calibration verification and for use in the verification of the assay range established by the Elecsys HCG STAT reagent on the indicated Elecs and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.

## Device Story

Elecsys HCG STAT CalCheck 5 is a lyophilized, human serum-based control material containing HCG analyte at five specific target concentrations. Used in clinical laboratory settings to verify calibration and assay range of Elecsys HCG STAT reagent on Elecsys 2010, cobas e411, and cobas e601 analyzers. Product is reconstituted with distilled or deionized water by laboratory personnel. Output is a measured value compared against established target ranges to ensure analyzer performance. Benefits include ensuring accuracy and linearity of HCG testing within the clinical diagnostic workflow.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Performance evaluation was limited to value assignment and reliance on stability studies previously cleared in K092168 due to identical formulation.

## Technological Characteristics

Lyophilized human serum matrix; five-level concentration set. Analyte: HCG. Reconstitution: 1.0 mL distilled/deionized water. Stability: 2-8°C unopened; 4 hours at 20-25°C reconstituted. Analyzers: Elecsys 2010, cobas e411, cobas e601. Traceable to NIBSC 75/589.

## 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.

## Predicate Devices
