Indications for Use
Indicated for use as quality control material for monitoring accuracy and precision in clinical chemistry urine analysis. Intended for use by qualified laboratory personnel.
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 Randox Laboratories Urine Controls are supplied at 2 levels, level 2 and level 3. Each bottle contains lyophilized human serum and urine and bovine hemoglobin and is reconstituted in 10ml of distilled water. Target ranges are supplied for the following analytes at both levels; calcium, copper, chloride, cortisol, Creatinine, dopamine, epinephrine, glucose, 5 hydroxy indole acetic acid, magnesium, metanephrine, microalbumin, norepinephrine, normetanephrine, Osmolality, oxalate, phosphorus inorganic, potassium, total protein, sodium, urea, uric acid and vanillylmandelic acid.
Human source material from which this product has been derived has been tested at the donor level for the Human Immunodeficient Virus (HIV1, HIV2) antibody, Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HbsAg) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and found to be non-reactive. FDA approved methods have been used to conduct these tests.

a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Not Applicable
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not Applicable
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Concentrations of each analytes are spiked into the control solution to meet target range of each analyte.
Each control level is submitted to 400 laboratories and the controls are tested on a range of different clinical chemistry/immunoassay analyzers. After testing the data are returned to Randox Laboratories Ltd. A summary of the method means is prepared. From these data the target value is assigned and the range calculated (usually ± 2 S.D. from the target mean.)
Shelf life has been set on stressed data. Reconstituted and frozen stability data is supplied for both assayed and unassayed controls. Vials should be refrigerated at 2 – 8°C. Reconstituted urine is stable at +25°C and 5 days at +4°C if capped in original container and free from contamination or 14 days at -20°C.
