## Indications for Use

Liquichek Immunoassay Plus Control is intended for use as an assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of a laboratory testing procedures for the analytes listed in this package insert.

## Device Story

Liquichek Immunoassay Plus Control; liquid-form quality control serum; derived from human serum with added human/non-human constituents. Used in clinical laboratories to monitor precision of immunoassay testing procedures. Provides known concentration samples to verify assay performance. Healthcare providers use results to assess analytical stability and precision of laboratory testing; ensures reliability of patient diagnostic results.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Liquid-form control; matrix: human serum with added human/non-human constituents. Storage: -10 to -20°C; open vial stability: 14 days at 2-8°C (7 days for folate).

## 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.
