## Indications for Use

Quest Diagnostics Serum Chemistry Control is intended for use as a quality control serum to monitor the precision of an individual laboratory’s automated and manual testing procedures.

## Device Story

Quest Diagnostics Serum Chemistry Control is a liquid, human serum-based quality control material. It contains purified biochemical materials, chemicals, preservatives, and stabilizers. The device is used in clinical laboratories to monitor the precision of automated and manual testing procedures for various serum chemistry analytes. Healthcare providers use the control results to verify the performance and accuracy of their diagnostic testing systems, ensuring reliable patient results. The product is stored frozen (-10°C to -20°C) and has a 10-day open-vial stability when refrigerated at 2-8°C.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Stability studies were performed to establish shelf life (two years at -10 to -20°C) and open-vial stability (10 days at 2-8°C). No clinical data was required or provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Liquid, human serum-based control material. Contains purified biochemical materials, chemicals, preservatives, and stabilizers. Storage: -10°C to -20°C (unopened); 2-8°C (open vial).

## 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

- Bio-Rad Laboratories Liquid Assayed Multiqual Control (k011867)
