Indications for Use
The Calcium2 assay is used for the quantitation of calcium in human serum, plasma, or urine on the ARCHITECT c System. Calcium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease, a variety of bone diseases, chronic renal disease and tetany (intermittent muscular contractions or spasms).
Device Story
Calcium2 is an automated clinical chemistry assay for the ARCHITECT c System; measures calcium concentration in human serum, plasma, or urine. Principle of operation: Arsenazo III dye reacts with calcium in an acid solution to form a blue-purple complex; color intensity measured at 660 nm is proportional to calcium concentration. Used in clinical laboratories by technicians; results are reviewed by physicians to assist in diagnosing and managing parathyroid, bone, and renal diseases, and tetany. Provides quantitative calcium levels to support clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated on ARCHITECT c8000 System. Studies included precision (within-run, within-lab, reproducibility per CLSI EP05-A3), accuracy (bias vs NIST SRM 956d), linearity (CLSI EP06), and interference testing (CLSI EP07). Method comparison (CLSI EP09c) against predicate showed correlation coefficient of 1.00 for both serum (n=120) and urine (n=112). LoB, LoD, and LoQ established per CLSI EP17-A2.
Technological Characteristics
Automated clinical chemistry assay using Arsenazo III dye. Reagent contains Arsenazo III (0.932 g/L) and sodium azide preservative. Operates on ARCHITECT c System. Serum/plasma AMI: 2.0–24.0 mg/dL; Urine AMI: 2.0–24.0 mg/dL with EMI up to 96.0 mg/dL. Traceable to NIST SRM 956. Connectivity via ARCHITECT c8000 platform.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitation of calcium in human serum, plasma, or urine to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease, bone diseases, chronic renal disease, and tetany.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A calcium test system is a device intended to measure the total calcium level in serum. Calcium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease, a variety of bone diseases, chronic renal disease and tetany (intermittent muscular contractions or spasms).
