It consists of a Level 0 (HEPES buffer with bovine protein) and Levels 1-4 (human ß-hCG in HEPES buffer with bovine protein and antimicrobial agents). The device is used by laboratory technicians to verify the performance of the Abbott Architect i System, specifically for sensitivity, calibration linearity, and reportable range. By running these assayed controls, the user compares the system's output against expected values to ensure the analyzer is functioning within specifications. This verification process supports accurate clinical decision-making by ensuring the reliability of patient ß-hCG test results. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Liquid control product; contains HEPES buffer, bovine protein stabilizers, and antimicrobial agents. Levels 1-4 contain human ß-hCG. Storage at 2-8°C. Open vial stability of 3 days at 2-8°C. ## 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 - Serum Multi-Analyte Verification Test Set ([K950469](/device/K950469.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in requlatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
