The device consists of a set of levels (0-4) containing human FSH in a HEPES buffer with bovine protein stabilizers and antimicrobial agents. It is used by laboratory technicians to assess calibration linearity, sensitivity, and the reportable range of the assay. By comparing the measured values of the MasterCheck levels against expected values, the healthcare provider ensures the accuracy and reliability of patient FSH test results, facilitating appropriate clinical decision-making regarding reproductive health and endocrine function. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Liquid control material; contains HEPES buffer, bovine protein stabilizers, and antimicrobial agents. FSH (human) included in levels 1-4. Storage at 2-8°C. Standalone product for use with Abbott Architect i System. ## 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 Casco Standards ([K950469](/device/K950469.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
