IRISpec™ CA/CB/CC is an assayed QC material for monitoring of urine chemistry analytes and devices as listed on the package insert. For in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use only.
Device Story
IRISpec™ CA/CB/CC is a liquid, ready-to-use quality control material for urine chemistry analyzers and reagent strips. It consists of a synthetic matrix simulating human urine, containing preservatives and bovine-sourced biological materials (serum albumin, hemoglobin, bilirubin). The device is provided in three parts (CA, CB, CC); parts CA and CB are identical to the predicate device (K945913), while part CC includes an added claim for ascorbic acid (40 mg/dL). The device is used by laboratory personnel to monitor the performance of urine chemistry test systems. By testing the control material alongside patient samples, clinicians verify the accuracy and precision of the analytical system. The device provides a known concentration of analytes to ensure the diagnostic equipment is functioning within specified parameters, thereby supporting reliable clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Analytical performance was verified by gravimetric addition of ascorbic acid to achieve ~40 mg/dL. Values were confirmed via repeat testing on iChem 100, Aution AX-4280, and Aution AJ-4270 analyzers. Comparison testing of three lots of CC control against human urine spiked with 40 mg/dL ascorbic acid showed no measurement differences. Stability protocols (real-time, open-vial, accelerated) confirmed a 6-month shelf life.
Technological Characteristics
Synthetic urine matrix with 0.0048% glutaraldehyde preservative; bovine-sourced serum albumin, hemoglobin, and bilirubin. Liquid form in 100 mL glass bottles. Refrigerated storage (2° to 8°C). 6-month closed-vial stability; 15-day open-vial stability.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed quality control material for monitoring urine chemistry analytes and devices in clinical laboratory settings.
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.
