The Aldolase Calibration Serum is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in the calibration of Aldolase on the Randox RX Daytona and Beckman Coulter AU640 systems. This device is for prescription use only.
Device Story
Randox Aldolase Calibration Serum is a lyophilized human serum-based product used to calibrate Aldolase assays on specific clinical chemistry analyzers (Randox RX Daytona and Beckman Coulter AU640). The product is supplied as a kit (3x1ml vials) and requires reconstitution with distilled water. It is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings. By providing a standardized reference material with assigned Aldolase values, the device enables the calibration of automated clinical chemistry systems, ensuring accurate measurement of patient Aldolase levels. This supports clinicians in diagnosing and monitoring conditions associated with Aldolase activity. The device is handled by laboratory technicians; it is derived from human serum tested for HIV, HBsAg, and HCV, though it must be treated as potentially infectious.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Stability studies (open-vial and real-time) confirmed a 5-day reconstituted stability and 2-year shelf life with recovery within ±5% of acceptance criteria. Value assignment was validated via nested testing against master lots on clinical chemistry analyzers, achieving precision (CV) of 1.8% to 2.2%, meeting the ≤3% acceptance criterion.
Technological Characteristics
Lyophilized human serum matrix; contains Aldolase derived from rabbit muscle (Sigma A2714). Designed for use on Randox RX Daytona and Beckman Coulter AU640 systems. Storage at +2°C to +8°C. No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro diagnostic use as a calibrator for Aldolase assays on Randox RX Daytona and Beckman Coulter AU640 systems. Intended for prescription use.

# 8. SUMMARY OF STABILITY STUDIES
## Open vial stabiltiy
Open vial stability of the Aldolase Calibration Serum was assessed by reconstituting the material according to the package insert. Samples were reconstituted and stored at +2 to +8°C for 7 days and tested for Aldolase.
The acceptance criteria state the percentage deviation of reconstituted to fresh should be ≤5%.
Current open vial studies support a reconstituted claim of 5 days when stored at +2°C to +8°C.
## Real Time Testing
This study was designed to verify and validate the predicted or desirable shelf life of the Aldolase Calibration Serum. Real Time studies are carried out using procedure RRD-1359. Controls are stored at the routinely stored temperature of +2 - +8°C and at ultra-frozen conditions -75 to -90°C. For real time assessment the routinely stored calibrators are compared to the ultra frozen calibrators at various time points.
The acceptance criteria states that the calibrator recovery for routinely stored compared to ultra-frozen should be within +/-5% deviation and all controls should be within range. Current Real Time studies support a 2 year shelf life.
# 9. SUMMARY OF VALUE ASSIGNMENT
1. A mean value for new lots of the Aldolase calibrator are established by performing nested testing of the new calibrator lot against a master lot. The value assignment of the master lot calibrator was derived by nest testing on a suitable clinical Chemistry/Immunoassay Analyzer using a Randox calibrator with established consensus values or an International reference preparation (IRP) where available and applicable. The master lot values must fall within the predetermined acceptance criteria.
2. The value assignment was determined by analyzing ten replicates of the test calibrator on two or more systems and the mean, SD and CV calculated for each lot before release to the user. The acceptance criteria states the precision measured by the CV should be less than or equal to 3%.
