The Elecsys Ferritin 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 Ferritin reagent on the indicated Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
Device Story
Elecsys Ferritin CalCheck 5 is an assayed quality control product consisting of five levels of human ferritin in a human serum matrix. It is used in clinical laboratories to verify the calibration and reportable assay range of the Elecsys Ferritin reagent on Modular Analytics E170/cobas e 601 and Elecsys 2010/cobas e 411 analyzers. The device provides target values for ferritin concentrations ranging from <2 ng/mL to 1970 ng/mL. Healthcare providers use the output to ensure the accuracy and linearity of the immunoassay system during routine testing, supporting reliable ferritin measurement for patient diagnosis and monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Value assignment was performed by duplicate runs on multiple analyzer platforms (Modular Analytics E170/cobas e 601 and Elecsys 2010/cobas e 411). Stability was validated via accelerated and real-time studies.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid control material; human liver ferritin in human serum matrix; five concentration levels; stored at 2-8°C; intended for use on Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed control for calibration verification and assay range verification of the Elecsys Ferritin reagent on specified Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers. For in vitro diagnostic and prescription use.
Regulatory Classification
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.

I. Device Description:
The Elecsys Ferritin CalCheck 5 set contains five levels of ferritin from human liver in a human serum matrix. During manufacture, human ferritin is spiked into the matrix at the target concentrations listed below. CalCheck Level 1 is free of analyte.
| Elecsys Ferritin CalCheck Level | Target Value (ng/mL) |
| --- | --- |
| Level 1 | Less than 2 |
| Level 2 | 27.5 |
| Level 3 | 915 |
| Level 4 | 1550 |
| Level 5 | 1970 |
All human source materials were prepared exclusively from the blood of donors tested individually and found to be nonreactive for HBsAg, antibodies to HCV and HIV. The testing methods were FDA approved or cleared in compliance with the European Directive 98/79/EC.

**Traceability**
The sponsor claims traceability of ferritin used in this quality control set to National Institute for Biological Standards and Controls (NIBSC) reagent for Ferritin (human liver) 80/602. The Elecsys Ferritin assay was standardized against the Enzymun-Test Ferritin method.
**Value Assignment**
For each Elecsys Ferritin CalCheck 5 lot manufactured, value assignment for each level of CalCheck was performed by duplicate runs on at least three Elecsys Modular Analytics E170/cobas e 601 analyzers. Additionally, the same value assignment procedure was performed on the Elecsys 2010/cobas e 411 analyzers. The assigned target value of each CalCheck is the median of the observed values. The labeling states that obtained values should fall within the specified range provided on lot-specific value sheets and that laboratories should establish appropriate acceptance criteria when using this product for its intended use.
**Stability**
Stability testing protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable. Closed (unopened) vial shelf life of 2 years at the recommended storage temperature (2 to 8°C) was demonstrated based on accelerated stability studies. Real-time closed-vial stability studies for the Elecsys Ferritin CalCheck 5 solutions are ongoing. Open vial stability of 4 hours was demonstrated at the recommended storage temperature of 20 to 25°C. Storage recommendations are provided in the labeling.
